I am looking for help writing sections of my AP research paper. I need help writing the introduction, methodology, and literature review. I will complete the results and findings part when I get the results collected. My research topic focused on test anxiety in highschool students especially physical symptoms students experience during exams (such as stomach discomfort, increased heart rate, and feelings of guilt) and how these symptoms influence their confidence and performance on math and biology exams . My research question is: To what extent do highschool students self reported physical symptoms of text anxiety (such as stomach discomfort, heart rate increase, and feelings of guilt) influence high school students confidence and performance on math and biology exams for my experiment Im only testing freshmen math and biology classes. Follow the AP Research rubric to create an intro, lit review, and methodology. (I have some parts of them done that I can send)

As a result of the ever present pressure to be thin, eating disorders have become an American epidemic with a disturbingly young average age onset. In addition to young children, eating disorders have become increasingly prevalent among college students. Despite the growing concern of parents and educators, and the increased amount of research and public awareness regarding the physical and emotional ramifications associated with these disorders, the numbers continue to rise. Discuss the history, characteristics, symptoms, and criteria for diagnosis, causes, risks, and treatments of anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa. Compare and contrast anorexia and bulimia as well as bulimia and binge-eating disorders. Research the available resources in your area and (if applicable) on your campus that help individuals who suffer from eating disorders. Provide factual documentation from at least two peer reviewed sources and include the reference citations within your discussion response using APA format. This assignment must be 750 words (not including the Cover page and Reference page) to meet the minimum requirement.

This assignment will give you practice running descriptive statistics on both numeric &

categorical variables and reporting them in APA style.

Each question you need to answer is bolded in the Assignment Questions section. The un-

bolded parts of the questions are instructions on what to do in order to answer the bolded

questions.

All questions can be answered using the Project Data data file.

For each question that asks for it, make sure to paste your output below the answer to the

question. An easy way to do this is to take screenshots of each table/graph and paste it below

the question.

This is an individual assignment akin to an exam and should be treated as such. You should

not consult any other people or AI, etc. while completing this assignment. If there is evidence

that you have used other people and/or certain technologies to complete this assignment, it will

2. Choose 3 numeric & 3 categorical variables to use for this assignment. List them below

the Variable view of the data.

3. For your 3 categorical variables:

a. Run descriptives for each categorical variable & create a bar graph for each

categorical variable.

that variable.

d. Paste the frequency table & bar graph from SPSS for each variable below your

answer

4. For your 3 numeric variables:

variable.

b. Write 1-2 sentences in APA style per variable describing the sample size (n),

minimum score, maximum score, mean, & standard deviation.

c. Paste the descriptive statistics table & histogram from SPSS for each variable

below your answer.

5. For your 3 numeric variables:

i. ANALYZE

DESCRIPTIVE STATISTICS

DESCRIPTIVES

ii. Move all 3 of your numeric variables into the Variables box.

iii. Check off Save standardized values as variables

iv. Click OK

v. This will give you descriptive statistics for your variables and create 3 new

variables in the data vieweach new variable will be the old variable

name with Z in front of it (e.g., ZRecall).

1. This is the z-score for each value of that variable

b. For each new z-score variable, run descriptive statistics (mean, standard

deviation) & create histograms for the Z variables. What is the M & SD for each

of the Z variables?

c. Explain why the M & SD for each of the Z variables makes sense given what

youve learned about the z-score distribution.

d. Paste the descriptive statistics table & histogram from SPSS for each Z variable

below your answer.

Final Project Fictional Case Study

Substance Abuse Assessment and Intervention Assignment

For the paper, choose a fictional character. This client may be from a movie, TV show, or book. DO NOT use someone you actually know.

Reminder: Review the glossary terms for each module in D2L. These terms will help you connect your Life History Interview to the key concepts from our readings and films. Note: A Quick Reference Sheet for Units I & II (including key concepts, readings, and films) is included at the end of this guide. Use it to help connect your Life History Interview to course content. Important: For your Midterm Life History Interview Project, you must use the Midterm Life History Block Template. You can download it, along with an example of a completed Block, from the Course Resources file in the Content folder on D2L. Midterm Life History Interview Project Step-by-Step Guide Purpose This project asks you to begin with a meaningful memory one that has stayed with you because it shaped who you are. It could be challenging, surprising, or emotionally significant. You will use this memory to explore how your life has been shaped by your family, community, and the wider systems you grew up in. In our course, we refer to these as Global North epistemologies ways of knowing and understanding the world that often come from dominant cultural perspectives. Step 1 Choose Your Memory Pick one difficult or significant memory from your life. It does not have to be traumatic just meaningful. This memory will guide your interviews and reflections. Prompt examples: A time you felt proud, a turning point, a challenge you overcame, a lesson you learned from a family member. Step 2 Plan Your Interviews Interview three people who knew you between birth and age 19: Examples: parent, grandparent, aunt/uncle, older sibling, close family friend. Choose people who can share specific stories about your childhood and teen years. Ask about two life stages: 1. Birth to age 9 2. Ages 1019 Step 3 Record & Transcribe Record the interviews (audio or video) if possible always ask permission first. If recording is not possible, take detailed notes. Example transcription: My aunt said, You were always asking questions about everything. Step 4 Find 23 Non-Scholarly Sources These provide cultural, historical, or personal context: Photos (maximum of 2, preferably from childhood) Yearbooks, report cards, letters, journals News articles, music, or movies from your growing-up years 1 Family documents or community records For each source, explain: 1. Why you chose it 2. What it shows about your upbringing or culture Step 5 Critical Reflections (3 total) Write a 250+ word reflection for each interview: 1. Summarize what they shared about you. 2. Connect it to your chosen memory. 3. Use one course glossary term (bold it and number it). 4. Include one non-scholarly source for context.

The two movies should be Young Adult(2011) and Knocked up(2007)
