As you begin to think about questions more critically, the next step is to apply what you have learned in developing sound research questions. As such, the final project is formed to help you think about how to do this. You are being asked to develop five hypotheses and to test these hypotheses. You will need to complete this project by writing a report, with appropriate APA formatting when required, addressing each major bullet point below. The Final Project should be formatted similarly to the Midterm Project. Note that Part F describes the audio/video component of the assignment.
Here is a template to serve as a guide:

Actions
For assistance with this project, review the videos in the Resources and Tutorials Pages for Modules 5-7 and the Step-by-Step Guides for Labs 3-5.
Please Note: All data sets and/or resources needed for this project are linked at the bottom of the page.
Project Details
Your submission for the Final Project should be a Jamovi file with a .omv extension AND a document with the information outlined below:
Select one of the datasets provided.
Develop five hypotheses, including both a null and research/alternative hypothesis.
One must be able to be tested using a one-way ANOVA.
One must be able to be tested using a two-way ANOVA.
One must be able to be tested using a correlation.
One must be able to be tested using regression or multiple regression.
One must be able to be tested using mediation or moderation.
Describe the variables used in your hypotheses.
Describe the variables used in the hypotheses in words (i.e., variable level, IV/DV).
Describe demographic information for FOUR variables. Describe the variables numerically (i.e., number and percent for nominal/ordinal level variables and a measure of central tendency and a measure of variability for interval/ratio level variables).
State whether your results support or fail to support your research/alternative hypothesis
Test each hypothesis using the appropriate statistical procedure in Jamovi. For each hypothesis, write a paragraph that states the statistics you ran and why.
Write the results of what you found in APA style and provide relevant output at the end of the report.
Create a report that combines what you completed and found in bullet points B – D; the structure used for this project will be similar to the one used for the Midterm Project.
Create a 1–2-minute audio and/or video recording explaining the regression/multiple regression model used in your assignment. Include the following in your recording:
- The independent/predictor variable and dependent/outcome variable
- If the regression/multiple regression was significant and how you determined this
An explanation of the regression equation
- Important
- To complete this project, you will need the following resources:
- Be sure to open the Jamovi software FIRST and then open one of these files within the Jamovi software.
- Final Social Science Data 2023.omvDownload Final Social Science Data 2023.omv
- Final Health Data 2023.omvDownload Final Health Data 2023.omv
- Refresher on the formatting for Writing in APA Style.
This project will utilize Jamovi; to review the resources linked in your Course Tools and Resources to get started with Jamovi. Please reach out to your instructor with any questions or concerns.
