This week, you have to write a research paper for FACTORIAL ANOVA (not one-way ANOVA). The paper should follow 'Anatomy of a Research Article' in the Files section, and also the guide at the last page of the syllabus.
RESEARCH PAPERS’ REQUIREMENTS
Please be reminded that this is what you should do in all research papers in this course.
The first research paper is based on this week's chapter 4.
In actual sense, this is a bogus research paper that is more interested in STATISTICS and its REPRESENTATION than most of the other contents. Although the layout should be like any quantitative research paper, the main considerations will be given to the following things.
- There must be a quantitative critical literature review of a scholarly paper/article that has used the same analysis that is covered in that chapter. For example, in chapter 4, there must be a review of a paper that used factorial ANOVA. That review should follow the 6 Ws, 1 H, 1 A and 1 R: who did what to whom, when, where, why, how, analysis and results—though not in that particular order as is discussed in the handout on Writing a Critical Review Download Writing a Critical Review in the Literature review document folder in CANVAS Files section. Chapter related Statistical reports in the reviewed article must be indicated in your paper. Simply saying ANOVA (or other statistics) was used in the article without showing statistical results is useless. (40% of score).
- You must do SPSS analyses on either the files that are in the Data Files folder (Files section), files in the SPSS software (You will not be able to download the dataset until SPSS is installed on your computer), or any file that can be publicly available. Access to that file, and its availability must be written in the methods section. (This part of paper earns 40%, while the rest of paper, neatness, APA, etc. earns 20%). You should NOT use the textbook's files.
- The presentation of statistics must be like what is presented in each chapter's "Presentation of Results". Effect size Eta symbol and any other symbols can be copied in Microsoft word Symbol Font.
