  • Categorical Data Analysis & Analysis of Variance

    Note: The assessments in this course build upon each other. You are strongly encouraged to complete them in sequence.

    Welcome to the final assessment of PSYC-FPX3700! In this assessment, we will delve into categorical data analysis and analysis of variance (ANOVA) methods, both of which are frequently used in psychological research.

    First, we will explore categorical analyses, focusing on two essential statistical tests: the chi-square goodness-of-fit test and the chi-square test of independence.

    • Chi-square goodness-of-fit test: This test determines whether the observed frequencies of a single categorical variable differ significantly from expected frequencies. It helps us understand if a sample comes from a specific distribution. For example, a psychologist might investigate whether the distribution of personality types (e.g., introverted, extroverted, and ambiverted) among a sample of students from one university matches the expected distribution based on national statistics.
    • Chi-square test of independence: This test assesses whether two categorical variables are related to each other. For instance, a psychologist might examine whether there is an association between the level of stress (categorized as low, moderate, and high) and the type of coping strategy an individual tends to use (such as problem-focused, emotion-focused, and avoidance). By applying the chi-square test of independence, researchers can determine if the observed relationship is statistically significant or if it occurred by chance.

    Next, we will cover ANOVA. If you read a lot of quantitative research studies, you will encounter various types of ANOVA. We will start by exploring the basic logic behind ANOVA and how it works. ANOVA helps us test hypotheses about group differences by partitioning the total variability in the data into components attributable to different sources. You will learn how to run an ANOVA in JASP and interpret the output, which is similar to the output produced by other statistical software and the formatting seen in published research articles. You will also learn about post-hoc tests, conducted after finding a significant ANOVA result to identify which specific groups differ from each other, and the assumptions of ANOVA. At the end of the chapter, more advanced forms of ANOVA will be introduced, including repeated measures ANOVA, factorial ANOVA, analysis of covariance (ANCOVA), and multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA).

    Congratulations on making it to the final assessment! Statistics is often viewed as a challenging and anxiety-provoking subject, but youve made it this far. Keep up the great work!

    What to make of change?

    This week, we learned that two of the Presocratics we are studying, Heraclitus and Parmenides, have very different views about “change.” Heraclitus says everything is always changing while Parmenides says change is impossible. Which view feels closer to your experience and why?

    Example 1

    Heraclitus’s views on change align with my experience; however, I do understand how Parmenides’s view is also valid. After reading up on both of their personal takes on change, I have concluded that both can be correct at the same time. However that is really hard to explain how and argue for that. Therefore, I have decided to lean more on Heraclitus’s view on change. One analogy he made was about how you cannot step into the same river twice because the water is always flowing and changing. In the same way, we never see the same clouds, breathe the same particles of air, etc. He also states that the universe creates unity and balance through opposing laws called Logos. Examples of opposites would be war and peace, day and night, and life and death. Then there is order, which creates balance in the universe. This feels closer to my experience because change has always been a part of my life when it comes to every aspect of my existence, and it has made me appreciative of the moment I had the pleasure of experiencing. Because I knew somehow that this moment would never exist ever again. However, that singular moment lives eternally in my memories because it was seen, therefore known. The reason why I speak in such a poetic way is that we experience the world through our own perspectives.

    The reason I can see why Parmenides’ theory can also be correct is that nothing that exists can have existed and always will exist because it has existed. This is because nothing in the universe is either created or destroyed but changed. What he says is that something cannot come from nothing, “what is, is, and what is not, is not”. I think the middle ground of where both theories can be true is that yes, things do change, but that is because it was supposed to. Within chaos, there is an order that our universe follows. The laws of the universe say that nothing is created nor destroyed, so it was meant to be here. And there is no chance for something existed that cannot or could exist.

    The universe is such a mystery, and from my own experience in life, sometimes multiple things can be true at the same time, and there is just too much gray area to say one possibility is impossible. Here are some of the questions I had to think about when comparing these two theories.

    [Why would time exist if not to create room for change to happen? If change did not exist, then wouldn’t we be born perfect in a perfect world? If there is no possibility of an end, then would there be a purpose for a beginning?]

    Example 2

    The process of understanding my grandparents gives me a deeper understanding of how everything changes. They tell stories about life before smartphones. Their world experienced a slower pace. All aspects of their existence transitioned into a digital format. The transformation occurred within a single generation. Heraclitus would probably smile at that. The world never stops moving. The existence of technology demonstrates that everything undergoes permanent transformation. The traditions of my family demonstrate that I understand Parmenides’ argument. My family still gathers for the same holiday dinner every year. The same food is prepared by us. Some values remain unchanged. I perceive my life experience to resemble Heraclitus’ teachings. I cannot deny the evidence around me. Time advances as everything in existence maintains its distinctiveness.

    Example 3

    This is a really interesting perspective, and a good way to ground Parmenides thought process in something tangible to our daily experience. I agree that although we observe changes, we also have a broader sense of continuity over our lifetime.

    Your comment also made me think more generally about how we experience change in many properties but stability in others. Parmenides seemed to discount our sensations in general, but I wonder if he would consider the things we experience in an unchanging way, like memory and personality, to be more “pure” or closer to his concept of Being relative to the more transient aspects of life, like the weather or colors.

    Example 3


    I find Heraclitus view of change closer to my personal experience because when I look at my life, it has been nothing but change. My habits are different, my mindset has shifted, and the roles Ive stepped into over the years have reshaped how I see myself and the world. I am not the same in behavior, perspective, or daily routine as I was years ago. In that sense, Heraclitus feels right, life feels like a river that is always moving. Even when I think Ive found stability, something eventually shifts, whether internally or externally.

    At the same time, I cant completely ignore Parmenides. Even though everything around me changes, and even though my thoughts evolve, there is still a sense that I am the same person underneath it all. I can look back at earlier versions of myself and still recognize that I was there. So while change feels real and constant, there also seems to be some deeper continuity holding it together. If I had to choose, I would say Heraclitus feels closer to my lived experience because I constantly witness change in myself and in life, but I also understand why Parmenides believed something more permanent must exist beneath it.

    a

    Here is a list (modified from the US Armys 2021-2022 Key Strategic Issues List (KSIL)) of possible research topics regarding SOF in Irregular Warfare to consider.

    Irregular Warfare: The US military will continue to conduct irregular warfare, whether it is counterterrorism, counterinsurgency, or advise and assist operations, and SOF will remain essential to the conduct of irregular warfare successfully.

    Research Topics:

    1. Evaluate the potential effectiveness of SOF counterterrorism efforts in Africa to mitigate the terrorist threat to Europe.

    2. Analyze how SOF can help African militaries to increase stability on the continent, counter illicit trafficking of WMD materials, and assist other African partners.

    3. Analyze and assess SOF options for partnering with Eurasian forces to combat terrorism while addressing Russian assertiveness.

    4. Assess Russias use of proxy or patriotic hackers and evaluate international laws and norms that can be used to limit their use.

    5. Examine a particular Services (e.g., Army, Navy) role in support of SOF activities in the pre-crisis period to counter PRC gray zone actions.

    6. Assess SOF options to balance direct action, advisory roles, and capacity development when partnering with Middle Eastern and Central Asian militaries combating transnational VEOs.

    7. Assess options for the ability of SOF to prevent extremists from migrating from a conflict zone in one region to another conflict in a different part of the world.

    8. Assess the appropriate role of, and requirements for, SOF in USG programs that support militaries and law enforcement entities combatting criminal, terrorist, and illicit networks.

    9. Identify how SOF can assist institutional and force generation capacities of Libyan and Somali security forces in support of political reconciliation and countering VEO operations.

    10. How can the US military recruit and retain a SOF culture to attract and incorporate women, minorities, and Generation Z?

    11. Assess the evolution of PRC or Russian gray zone approaches and the Army and

    allied role in effectively countering them.

    12. Analyze Russias Reflexive Control theory and evaluate SOF capabilities that can be used to counter it.

    13. Evaluate how SOF should incorporate hybrid warfare and constant competition in its operational planning to achieve desired strategic effects.

    Specific Guidance for the Two Main Parts of this Assignment

    The first part of this assignment requires you to develop a legitimateRQ-DV-IVs-Hypothesis social science research methodology.

    a

    Here is a step-by-step guide to walk you through the process of creating a legitimate RQ-DV-IVs-Hypothesis social science research methodology by crafting the following:

    • Research Question (RQ): identifies the topic and scope of your research project

    I will use the first topic listed above to provide an example of how to use it to develop a legitimate RQ-DV-IVs-Hypothesis research methodology

    Research Topic: Evaluate the potential effectiveness of SOF counterterrorism efforts in Africa to mitigate the terrorist threat to Europe

    • Corresponding Research Question: What are the three most effective ways that SOF counterterrorism efforts in Africa can help mitigate the terrorist threat to Europe?
    • Identifies the topic and scope of the proposed inquiry
    • Is stated in the form of a question
    • Is stated qualitatively, which allows you to use research to answer it and present an argument in support of your findings
    • Dependent Variable (DV): For this research topic and question the Dependent Variable is:most effective ways that SOF counterterrorism efforts in Africa can help mitigate the terrorist threat to Europe
    • only one
    • this is the effect you are investigating
    • the main focus of your research project
    • Independent Variables (IVs): Here are three possible independent variables (IVs) for this Research Question
    • Supporting Foreign Internal Defense (FID) efforts
    • Taking Direct Action
    • Conducting Special Reconnaissance
    • Regarding your IVs:
    • best to identify and investigate three IVs to keep the scope of the project manageable and within the length of the requirement
    • these are the main causes of the effect you are investigating and the specific areas you will research for the project
    • Hypothesis: this is a single statement that incorporates your variables, provides a direct and viable answer to the RQ you have posed, and is phrased so that it is easy to test its validity through research.

    Each hypothesis will be different based upon what you think the most likely answer to the RQ is with respect to the historical individual you have selected, but will be something along the following lines: Supporting Foreign Internal Defense (FID) efforts, taking Direct Action, and conducting Special Reconnaissance are the three most effective ways that SOF counterterrorism efforts in Africa can help mitigate the terrorist threat to Europe.’“

    Notice how this statement incorporates the DV and IVs and provides a direct and viable answer to the RQ posed that can be testing for validity using researchto confirm or refute it (either outcome is acceptable, as both contribute to the existing body of knowledge regarding this topic). Doing so provides your research methodology with sufficient internal integrity to make it a legitimate guide for your research and to present your findings.

    Following this process closely and as outlined above will allow you to create a legitimate RQ-DV-IVs-Hypothesis social science research methodology to use on this assignment.

    You are free (and encouraged!) to use the examples I have provided as a template for developing your own RQ-DV-IVs-Hypothesis research methodology

    You are also most welcome to send of draft of your RQ-DV-IVs-Hypothesis research methodology to me via email up to 48 hours in advance to evaluate prior to this assignment

    a

    The second part of the assignment requires you to conduct a preliminary Literature Review to ensure that there are sufficient sources of credible information/evidence available to support the subject of your research (and to which you have access). These sources must relate to the specific topic you intend to study and cannot include course material (i.e., sources that I have provided).

    For this assignment, it is most important that you identify an appropriate number of credible and/or scholarly sources relevant to your subject and to which you have access to support your research.

    • Credible sources those for which we can identify and evaluate the reliability of both the author and sources of information used in the work; if you can’t identify and evaluate the credibility of both the author and sources of information used in the work, then the source is not credible and should not be used in academic work
    • Scholarly sources Credible sources that have been reviewed by experts in the field (which occurs in peer-reviewed journals (which the APUS library identify for you in your search) and during the publication process for books); Scholarly sources are therefore the very best types of sources to use in academic work, since we can identify and evaluate the reliability of both the author and sources of information used in the work, and the substance of the work has been reviewed by experts in the field
    • All scholarly sources are credible sources, but not all credible sources are scholarly
    • All of your sources must be at least credible sources; strive to use the most scholarly sources possible, which are the most reliable sources of information for academic work

    Note that books published by reputable publishers (i.e., commercial publishers and academic presses, but NOT self-published) qualify as credible sources.

    a

    Format

    1. Title Page: The title of your paper should be brief but should adequately inform the reader of your general topic and the specific focus of your research. The title page must include the title, your name, course name and number, professors name, and date.
    2. Start your assignment with an introductory paragraph, or paragraphs, about your research topic and why it is of interest. End your paragraph(s) with your research question. This section should be 12 page – 1 page.
    3. Provide a purpose statement (i.e., what you intend to accomplish (i.e., test the validity of the hypothesis to confirm or refute it) and how you intend to do so (i.e., use research to assess the validity of each of the IVs to make an overall determination regarding the validity of the hypothesis)). This section should be 12 page.
    4. State explicitly why this topic is important enough to be researched. This section should be 12 page 1 page.
    5. End your purpose statement by stating what you expect to find as a result of your research by presenting your Hypothesis (i.e., your hypothetical thesis) that incorporates your variables (DV and IVs) and provides a direct answer to the RQ posed that can be tested for validity using research.
    6. Provide a literature review of the sources that will inform your research. This section should be 3-4 pages.
    • Note: research projects include a literature review to determine what knowledge exists on the subject under study and to develop the theoretical framework that will be used in the study. The literature review sets the context for the entire research project by explaining what others have found in researching the same or similar specific research questions. The literature review is written in a narrative format.
    • A literature review begins with an introductory paragraph in which the writer frames the research topic and its significance, and the question that the researcher is addressing. To do that, the writer will summarize the major relevant arguments on the research subject, highlighting the main issues and how schools of thought might differ. If there are key terms to be defined, the writer should do that here.
    • The body of the literature review tells readers what others have found in their studies about your specific research question (the extent of existing knowledge on your specific research question), critiques what is right or wrong with these other studies, and discusses how the work is distinguishable from the research you are proposing. This literature review should include a critical review of a minimum of 6 appropriate sources, to include scholarly, peer-reviewed articles, material from government publications and websites, and/or other topic-appropriate source. Note: you must provide citations for the ideas of different authors.
    • A literature review ends with a concluding paragraph in which the writer summarizes the primary sense of the literature that encapsulates where the existing literature ends and their research begins as they seek to answer their research question and add to the body of knowledge on their topic.
    • You will need to identify and be able to gain access to at least six credible sources for this assignment and to support your research; at least two of these sources must be scholarly (i.e., peer reviewed).

    Technical Requirements

    • Your paper must be at a minimum of 6-8 pages (the Title and Reference pages do not count towards the minimum limit).
    • Only credible sources (i.e., sources that both the identity of the author and the source(s) of evidence can be identified and evaluated) can be used for this assignment.
    • A minimum of 6 credible sources, at least two of which must be scholarly (i.e., peer reviewed) are required for this assignment. Proper and sufficient attribution to them is also required.
    • Type in Times New Roman, 12 point and double space.
    • Follow the current Turabian Style as the sole citation and reference style used in written work submitted as part of coursework.
    • All submissions will be graded using the assignment rubric.

    Follow the guidance and adhere to the formatting instructions to ensure you address all required elements of this assignment.

  • week 3 discussion 4200

    Mass media for the most part exists through generating revenue. A common way to generate revenue of course is to have someone sponsor all or part of the product. In early radio and television there was a common phrase used as the programs took a break “and now a word from our sponsors.” Overtime the term sponsor was replaced by advertisers. Advertising is seen in all forms of media from the 30-60 second spots on radio and television, to product placement ads in movies and video games, and of course all those pop-up ads on our computers and smart phone apps.

    • Find and review a television commercial that uses an emotional appeal such as fear. Explain from a psychological perspective why the commercial would actually work.
    • Explain the theoretical basis of persuasion used in advertising. Find two ads, one that uses the central route and one that uses the peripheral route. Why is it almost impossible to find a commercial that uses the central route in a television or radio ad?
    • Explain how a commercial can be deceptive or misleading but still not cross the line of illegally providing false information.
    • From a psychological viewpoint, explain why people purchase a product or service or accept the message even when the information is misleading.

  • 6.4 Assignment: Determining EEO and Affirmative Action Compl…

    As we have learned thus far, most businesses in the United States with 15 employees or more are legally required to meet the regulations enforced by the Equal Employment Opportunities Commission (EEOC). These requirements, which were born out of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, are designed to protect employees and ensure equal footing in the workplace for all. However, because some job openings attract many applicants, complying with the various requirements can be a significant undertaking for large and small businesses alike.

    In the

    article, the organization details the causes for the filing of seven lawsuits against various businesses in 2018. Please review the article and the cases described therein. Then, using the Hunt Library, identify at least two scholarly sources (e.g. peer-reviewed journal, book published by a reputable source) that identify criteria used to determine EEO and Affirmative Action compliance.

    Using the sources you have identified in the Hunt Library for support and reference, please address the following questions in a current 250-500 word (in the body) paper:

    1. What were some actions that the companies could have taken to prevent the violation of rights as determined by the EEOC?
    2. What are examples of damages awarded to complainants in cases similar to those mentioned in the EEOC article?
    3. What are some actions that you would take as a Human Resource Manager to prevent some of the allegations detailed in the lawsuits described in the EEOC article?

    Your paper should be written in a scholarly format (title page, body, reference page) and include at least two scholarly (peer-reviewed) references.
