    For this assignment, revise the Methods from the Research Report in PSY-452. You are required to keep the following sections: participants, materials/instruments/apparatuses, procedures, and design. As you make revisions to the Methods make sure to include the following information in each section:

    1. Introduction paragraph: Describe the need for additional research on your topic, which you found and pointed to at the end of the literature review. State the purpose of your study in a problem statement or hypothesis. Finally, write a thesis statement which describes what the purpose of this section of the paper is: to present the methods including participants, materials, procedures, and design, that will be used to conduct the study.
    2. Participants: In this section, you are only to focus on presenting the demographic of those who can participate in your study. You will also present any excluding factors that are not implied when stating who can participate. Be specific about any factors that would be included in the study (i.e. age, gender, race/ethnicity, SES, education level, etc.). Include how many participants you will need to conduct the study. Your sample size should be based upon how you plan to generalize the results. In other words, to whom would the results be applied?
    3. Materials/Instruments/Apparatuses: List all materials you will need to conduct your study. Do not discuss how they will be used, just state what you need (i.e. tables, chairs, a room, pencils, surveys, a computer to create surveys, send them out and store the data, etc.)
    4. Procedures: Make sure this section is written in detail. You will begin with providing informed consent and write detailed directions that you will follow (in paragraph format) to conduct this study. It should be so clearly written that another researcher could replicate your study.
    5. Design: Describe the design of your study (descriptive, correlational, qualitative, quantitative and/or experimental). Also, describe how participants are assigned to groups if applicable (i.e. within/between).
    6. Conclusion paragraph: Summarize the main points from the whole research proposal.

    Overview

    As social workers, we need to be introspective. Journaling provides meaningful self-reflection – a creative path of self-discovery, capturing ideas, feelings, and behavior in unique ways. Your journal will only be read by your instructor.

    Instructions
    For this assignment, you review this week’s Learning Resources and then perform a two-sample independent t test and an ANOVA related to the dataset that was utilized in the week 2 SPSS application assignment. Import the data into SPSS; or, if you correctly saved the data file in Week 2, you may open and use that saved file to complete this assignment. Type your answers to all questions directly into the worksheet, and paste the required output at the end of this document.

    Submit this Application Assignment by Day 7.
    ———————————————————————————————————————

    Research Scenario

    A study was conducted to determine if a walking plus strength training exercise program results in a significantly greater increase in aerobic capacity as compared to a walking only exercise program. Participants are randomly selected and then randomly assigned to one of the exercise groups. Participants’ aerobic endurance was assessed at the beginning of the study and, again, after 6-months of exercise.

    Coding for study variables:
    • AGE—age in years
    • SEX—1 =male, 2=female
    • EXERCISE—1= walking and strength training; 2 = walking;
    • CHNG_ENDUR—change in maximal oxygen uptake (liters per minute) from pre-test to post-test
    ———————————————————————————————————————
    Note: Save all of your SPSS output. You will paste copies in Steps 7–9, below.

    Step 1: Review this week’s Learning Resources.

    Step 2: Import the Microsoft Excel data file provided in this week’s Learning Resources into SPSS (or open saved file from Week 2 Application Assignment).

    Step 3: Run and save the Codebook for your SPSS data file

    Step 4: Conduct an independent samples t test to determine if there is a difference between the exercise type 1 in terms of changes in maximal oxygen uptake. Note that the independent variable is EXERCISE, and the dependent variable is CHNG_ENDUR. For this analysis, choose a two-tailed test of significance.
    Step 5: Conduct a between-subjects ANOVA to determine if there is a difference between sex (males vs. females) and CHNG_ENDUR. Note that the independent variable is SEX, and the dependent variable is CHNG_ENDUR. For this analysis, choose a two-tailed test of significance.

    Step 6: Review your SPSS output and answer each of the following questions:

    QUESTION type answers below Score (to be entered by instructor)
    From the independent samples t-test output:
    1. What is the mean CHNG_ENDUR for group 1? ________________ ____ / 3 points

    11. What is the mean CHNG_ENDUR for females? ________________ ____ / 3 points
    12. What is the CHNG_ENDUR standard deviation for females? ________________ ____ / 3 points
    13. What is the calculated F-value? ________________ ____ / 3 points
    14. What is the probability (noted as “Sig” on output) that the obtained F-value was simply due to chance as opposed to actual gender differences? ________________ ____ / 3 points
    Step 7: Paste the SPSS Codebook output below.
