You had the chance earlier in the week to practice with the correlation and simple linear regression and obtain peer feedback.

You had the chance earlier in the week to practice with the correlation and simple linear regression and obtain peer feedback. Hopefully you are excited about the potential these tests hold; equally important is that you recognize some of their weaknesses. Now, it is once again time to put all of that good brainstorming to use and answer a social research question with the correlation and simple linear regression. As you begin the Assignment, be sure and pay close attention to the assumptions of the test. Specifically, make sure that your variables are metric level variables that can easily be interpreted in these tests.

For this Assignment, you will examine correlation and bivariate regression testing.

To prepare for this Assignment:

Review this week’s Learning Resources and media program related to regression and correlation.

Using the SPSS software, open the Afrobarometer dataset or the High School Longitudinal Study dataset (whichever you choose) found in the Learning Resources for this week.

Based on the dataset you chose, construct a research question that can be answered with a Pearson correlation and bivariate regression.

Once you perform your correlation and bivariate regression analysis, review Chapter 11 of the Wagner text to understand how to copy and paste your output into your Word document.

For this Assignment:

Write a 2- to 3-paragraph analysis of your correlation and bivariate regression results for each research question. In your analysis, display the data for the output. Based on your results, provide an explanation of what the implications of social change might be.

Use proper APA format, citations, and referencing for your analysis, research question, and display of output.

Research Design Development and Analysis

As in Weeks 2 and 3, for the first Discussion in Week 4 you should not prepare the draft of content for the Prospectus. Rather, you will create an Approach Statement, which will consist of a list of bullet points that will indicate step by step how you will go about preparing for the draft due on Day 5 as part of Week 4 Discussion 2.

As previously mentioned, metacognition is crucial to your success as a student and as a researcher. For that reason, you are being asked once again to discuss how you plan to prepare the assignment due on Day 5, rather than simply dispatching you to create a draft.

The Approach Statement for Week 4 is a good yardstick for your Instructor to perform a similar cognitive monitoring of your understanding of the goals and processes to formulate a problem statement. As in Weeks 2 and 3, an Approach Statement will be the deliverable for each discussion in Weeks 4 and 5. From your Approach Statement, your Instructor will be able evaluate your ability to conceptualize individual tasks to execute to achieve your research goals. This type of assessment is not often done and is invaluable in guiding your ability to evolve your research skills and strategies.

Post by Day 2 your Approach Statement in the form of a bulleted list of the steps you will take to select and justify an appropriate selection of (a) the research method and (b) the research design, which are due on Day 5 as part of Week 4 Discussion 2. As a reminder, the Discussion Rubric and any handouts or resources your Instructor has provided may be good background resources.

Correlation and Bivariate Regression in Practice

 

For this Assignment, you will continue your practice as a critical consumer of research. You will critically evaluate a scholarly article related to correlation and bivariate regression.

To prepare for this Assignment:

Use the Course Guide and Assignment Help found in this week’s Learning Resources and search for a quantitative article related to correlation and bivariate regression.

For this Assignment:

Write a 2- to 3-page critique of the article you found. In your critique, include responses to the following:

Why did the authors use correlation or bivariate regression?

Do you think it’s the most appropriate choice? Why or why not?

Did the authors display the data?

Does the results table stand-alone (i.e., are you able to interpret the study from it?) Why or why not?

Use proper APA format, citations, and referencing.

The Importance of Relationships

The Importance of Relationships

As its name implies, confidence intervals provide a range of values, along with a level of confidence, to serve as an estimate of some unknown population value. Since it is rare to have access to the entire population, you must frequently rely on the confidence interval of the sample to make some inference about the population of interest. Before making accurate inferences to the population, we need to fully understand how the three key components of the interval—variability in the data, sample size, and confidence level—impact the width of the interval.

For this Discussion, you will explore the relationship between these components and understand the trade-off between reducing risk in our confidence of estimates and increasing precision.

To prepare for this Discussion:

Review Chapters 7 and 8 of the Frankfort-Nachmias & Leon-Guerrero text and in Chapter 8, p. 256, consider the 2012 Benghazi Terrorist Attack Investigation and focus on how different levels of confidence and sample size work together.

Review Magnusson’s web blog found in the Learning Resources to further your visualization and understanding of confidence intervals.

Use the Course Guide and Assignment Help found in this week’s Learning Resources to search for a quantitative article related to confidence intervals.

Using the SPSS software, General Social Survey dataset and choose a quantitative variable that interests you.

Using SPSS:

Take a random sample of 100.

Calculate the 95% confidence interval for the variable.

Calculate a 90% confidence interval.

Take another random sample of 400.

Calculate the 95% confidence interval for the variable.

Calculate a 90% confidence interval.

Post your results and an explanation of how different levels of confidence and sample size affect the width of the confidence interval. Next, consider the statement, “Confidence intervals are underutilized” and explain what the implications might be of using or not using confidence intervals. Provide examples based on the results of your data. Also, use your research to support your findings.

Be sure to support your Main Post and Response Post with reference to the week’s Learning Resources and other scholarly evidence in APA Style.

First, select a photograph from the required reading on Photography that you would like to investigate. You will compare this photograph to a photograph from your life.

First, select a photograph from the required reading on Photography that you would like to investigate. You will compare this photograph to a photograph from your life. Try to select a set for the analysis that you think are interesting as a pair, either in their similarities or their differences. Be creative in your selections, but be sure that you can explain both works based on the concepts in the readings and communicate to a reader why you put these photographs together. Your analysis should include appropriate terminology from this unit, the textbook, and the following criteria: Explain each photograph as though the reader has never seen it. What do you see? Describe the image and the style in the photograph from the chapter. Then, do the same with your modern selection. Assess the two photographs in comparison with each other and share your perspective. Why did you choose to analyze them together? What can one indicate about the other? Why did these photographs stand out to you? Photograph Analysis 2: Follow the same process you used in the first part of the Assignment to analyze a second set of photographs. Select another photograph from the chapter on Photography and another photograph from your life. Try to assess different styles from the first analysis to the second. For example, if you have pair of landscapes for Analysis 1, opt for portraits for Analysis 2 — or if you have chosen two photographs that are similar for Analysis 1, opt for two contrasting photographs for Analysis 2 and build that assessment. The Assignment should be at least 600 words, and must use and cite the text as a source. Cite the resource internally and in full reference at the end, following APA style guidelines. Citation is important to build the definitions, demonstrate your research, and to make it clear which ideas are yours and which are from the source.

Individuals in middle adulthood experience both gains and losses in physical, cognitive, and psychosocial

Individuals in middle adulthood experience both gains and losses in physical, cognitive, and psychosocial functioning. Although middle adulthood can be a very positive experience, developmental issues associated with middle adulthood can be stressful. Understanding stressors experienced during middle adulthood is the key to effectively counseling this age group.
Tasks:
Research evidence supports that a midlife crisis is not a typical aspect of development. However, most people can provide anecdotal evidence of someone who has experienced such a crisis. Review professional literature—articles from peer-reviewed journals and relevant textbooks—and answer the following questions:
What stressors during middle adulthood might contribute to such a crisis?
How might an individual’s multicultural identities affect the stressors experienced during middle adulthood?
As a clinical mental health counselor, what types of preventative or protective behaviors might you suggest to a client experiencing a developmental crisis?
Support your responses and analysis by using at least two resources from professional literature. Professional literature may include the Argosy University online library resources; relevant textbooks; peer-reviewed journal articles; and websites created by professional organizations, agencies, or institutions (websites ending in .edu or .gov).
