Write a mini-Chapter Four (Research Findings). As noted in the Doctoral Research Handbook, this will include:

• Title page
• Introduction
• Participants and Research Setting
• Provide brief information about the data set, including a citation for the data set.
• Write at least one well-articulated RQ that addresses the data set.
• Identify the variables, including the following:
  • Variables (ex: gender, GPA, IQ)
  • Are the variables numeric or categorical (ex: Gender is categorical; GPA & IQ are numeric)
  • If the variable is categorical, then provide the categories/groups that make up that variable (ex: For gender, the groups would be female, male, and other)
  • If the variable is numeric, then provide the range of possible values (ex: GPA is the person’s GPA score, IQ is the person’s IQ score)
• Correctly worded hypothesis (null & alternative) in the correct format. H0: / Ha:
• What statistical test should be used to analyze this hypothesis, and why is that test the most appropriate? Include a citation to back-up your use of this test for your research question.
  • Statistical Test Options: Chi-square, Correlation, Spearman correlation, Independent samples t-test, ANOVA, Linear Regression, Multiple Regression, MANOVA. [Note: You can only use one of these tests for this assignment unless you get permission from the instructor.]
  • Remember, the statistical test has to match the type of variables you have. Ex: You cannot do a multiple regression between gender, GPA, and IQ because gender is categorical. For a multiple regression, you need three numeric variables. Instead, you could do a MANOVA because there is a categorical variable with three groups and two numeric variables.
• Conduct the statistical analysis using JASP and write up the results in the correct APA format.
  • APA formatted results per the information provided in our course.
  • If needed, and depending on the statistical test used, include any additional results (ex: Shapiro-Wilk, Box’s-M, Durbin-Watson, etc.).
  • If needed, do any follow-up post hoc tests and include the results (ex: Tukey post hoc for ANOVA, MANOVA).
  • Include screenshots of the JASP output as an Appendix
• Supplemental Findings (Optional)
• Summary of Results
• Reference – Include a citation for the data set and have at least one citation (peer-reviewed and/or textbook) to support your choice of test.
• Appendix – Include all JASP output in the Appendix
