(1) Write your research hypothesis.(2) Identify your independent and dependent variables.(3) Copy the wording of the questions that go with the independent and dependent variables.(4) Describe what these variables measure..-------------------------------------------------------------.To get the wording of the variables, go tohttps://sda.berkeley.edu/sdaweb/analysis/?dataset=gss18.Click on “Standard Codebook” listed at the top of the page, then click on “Alphabetical Variable List”. Locate the name of your variables..Click on the variable name to get the wording. The wording listed in the section titled “Text of this Question or Item”.).----------------------------.Another way to find the wording: Go to the GSS site, and type the variable name of your independent variable in the space indicated below and click on “View”.wk10-L3
(1) Write your hypothesis..(2) Present the frequency distribution table for the independent variable..Table 1: Frequency Distribution of (name of your independent variable).[Paste your table here].Beneath the table, (1) describe how many respondents answered the question, and (2) describe how the respondents are distributed over the categories of this variable using the %s in the table.wk10-L4
(1) Write your hypothesis again..(2) Present the frequency distribution table for the dependent variable..Table 2: Frequency Distribution of (name of your dependent variable).[Paste your table here].Beneath the table, (1) describe how many respondents answered the question, and (2) describe how the respondents are distributed over the categories of this variable using the %s in the table.wk10-L5
(1) Write your hypothesis again..(2) Present the crosstab of the independent and dependent variables..Table 3: Crosstab of (name of your independent and dependent variables).[Paste your table here]. Beneath the table:(i) Describe how the respondents are distributed in the table.(ii) Examine if the independent and dependent variables are related or not using appropriate %s in the table.- To see if the variables are related or not, compare %s within each column (i.e. each category of the dependent variable). If the %s are similar to each other, then the variables are not related. If the %s are different from each other, the variables are related. The more different these percentages are, the more strongly the variables are related.
