This assignment has 2 parts. The 1st part is My discussion minimum of 500 words( 2 references)

• State your future career and explain how that field may use statistical analysis. Explain the types of projects that might involve statistical analysis in your future career.
• Summarize the articles content and point out any statistical procedures you recognize from this weeks reading. For this, consider answering the following questions:
• What research question did the authors investigate?
• What variables did they use?
• Did the article include any graphs or charts?
• If so, what types were they? Did they help you understand the information better? Why or why not?
• How is this article helpful in your future career?

My future goals is to become a high school college counselor This is a discussion NOT a Paper so no need for a cover page. This is the second part to respond to my peer. In the reponse to the classmate you can ask 1 question. And not just respond to their post by saying it makes sense. Go into depth with it. Minimum of 250 words. This is what my classmate wrote. My future career is in psychology, in family advocacy in domestic violence. In this field, statistical analysis is used to measure the prevalence of abuse, assess the efficacy of interventions, and identify risk factors. Important applications include the use of longitudinal data to track the safety improvements, regression models are used for mental health impacts such as PTSD and anxiety, to mention a few. Text analysis is also implemented to understand victim-survivor experiences.

There are various ways that statistical analysis can be used in psychology. One way to assess the program’s effectiveness is by evaluating the success rates of different intervention programs designed for both victims and perpetrators of domestic violence. Having the ability to identify risk factors is another example of statistical analysis being used in psychology. This is used to identify common demographics or situational risk factors related to domestic violence. Another way statistical analysis is used in psychology is to measure the clients’ outcomes by tracking and quantifying improvements in clients’ well-being and safety. Although I only mentioned a few ways statistical analysis can be used, there are more ways to use statistical analysis in psychology.

In summary of the article, A qualitative data analysis: family victim advocates in child advocacy centers. The study analyzes the critical role of family victim advocates and child advocacy centers (CACs), which highlights the responsibility in bridging the gap between families and investigative systems. Their method of doing so involves a pragmatic qualitative research method, which, in this week’s reading of our textbook, Tanner, D (2016), chapters 1 and 2, discusses qualitative data while defining it as a type of variable rather than covering methods or in-depth qualitative analysis.

The authors of a qualitative data analysis, family victim advocates in child advocacy centers, investigate motion, perception, and the need for special education. In this week’s reading of statistics for behavioral and social sciences, chapters 1 and 2. Tanner, D (2016) investigates fundamental and foundational concepts as well as research methods and data description. The focus is on defining the variables and understanding data skills such as nominal, ordinal, interval, and ratio. Both implemented variables by utilizing motivation, perceptions, need for training, defining variables, and understanding data scales.

In the article on qualitative data analysis, family advocates and child advocacy centers, and in this week’s reading, charts or graphs were not used; however, in our textbook, chapters 1 and 2, the foundation of both graphs and charts was introduced to assist in the visualization. Because I am both hands-on and visual, the introduction of such charts, graphs, and bars is found to be helpful in my understanding. This helps me to put words and images together to see it. In the article I have chosen, it demonstrates the value of providing insight into motivations, training needs, and supports a trauma-informed approach.
