Policing
Each paper must confirm to APA guidelines. This is a very strict requirement and can constitute a possible 20% deduction on the paper if not followed. The paper should be 10-12 pages in length. Your work must be in Times New Roman or Ariel, 12-point font, and double spaced.
Incorporate seven (7) peer reviewed journal articles into the paper. In order to get points for incorporating these articles, you must discuss them. Simply citing the article along with your writing is NOT sufficient. You may use books, other court cases, government reports, etc., but they do not count toward the seven (7). For your own protection, you may wish to incorporate more than 7 to be sure you cover this requirement. Students must use APA appropriate reference citations and sources must be listed in a reference page. The reference and title pages will not count toward the length requirement.

Analysis assignment
Data Analysis Assignment
(Do not be alarmed by the size of this assignment: I try to break down the steps as much as possible and explain everything you may need to know!)
The purpose of this assignment is to give you hands-on experience with the research process and working with data. Since PSYC220 (Statistics for the Behavioral Sciences) is a prerequisite for Experimental Psychology, you should have been introduced to the skills necessary to complete this assignment.
In order to analyze the data, you may use one of the following methods. Please note that everything I ask of you can be completed by hand! The other software listed will simply expedite the process if you have used them before.
SPSS
-Excel
-Rstudio
-Calculations by hand
The excel file provided for this assignment is formatted for easy SPSS use. If you do not have a subscription to SPSS, the software is available for free on campus or through a remote browser (Citrix: while I do not have experience using the remote PC, I have included a PDF about it). If you do the calculations by hand please submit a picture/scan of your calculations this helps me grant partial credit if necessary. Generative AI is not an option for this assignment.
The study: Your professor wants to study how personality impacts book preferences. They randomly sampled five members of their local book club and asked them to complete a personality inventory (The Big Five Inventory BFI). Then, your professor recorded each participants book ratings over the course of twelve months.
The files you will need:
-2026bookdata – the data your professor recorded from the five participants. This could be imported into SPSS or used as is.
Coding information:
SUBJECT: For confidentiality, each participants name is replaced with an ID
GENDER: The gender of each participant. Coded as 0=Female and 1=Male
AGE: Self Explanatory
FORMAT: How a participant consumes each book. Coded as follows:
1-Paper/kindle
2-Audio
GENRE: Each participants favorite book genre. Coded as follows:
1-Fantasy/Sci-Fi
2-Romance
3-Historical Fiction
4-Horror
5-Nonfiction
BOOK1-12: 12 months of book ratings
BFI1-44: The 44 BFI items in order. These items have not been reverse scored yet.
-Personality-BigFiveInventory- an explanation and coding guide for the personality data. Item numbers correspond with the number presented as the column header in the excel sheet.
Note about reverse scoring: When the scoring guide says 6R or any number with R after it, it is asking you to reverse score the item. This means you will need to change the calculation to the opposite answer from what the participant recorded. Here is a guide:
What the participant said -> reverse scored item
1 ->5
2->4
3->3
4->2
5->1
-Citrix-for-Students- Only if you need to use the remote PC for SPSS.
THE ACTUAL ASSIGNMENT (Answer the questions below):
HYPOTHESES
1.Before we begin, do you spot any issues with the study design? If so, what are they? Consider any potential confounding variables or sampling strategies.
2.As stated, your professor is looking at personality traits and book ratings. First, your professor wants to know if there is a relationship between the demographic variable of age and their average book rating.
HYPOTHESIS 1
A. What is the null hypothesis?
B. What is the alternative/research hypothesis?
C. Is this research hypothesis directional or nondirectional?
D. What is the predictor (IV) and the criterion (DV)?
E. Which statistical test would you use to answer this hypothesis? Why? (OPTIONS: Independent t-test, One-Way ANOVA, Correlation, or Regression)
HYPOTHESIS 2
Next, your professor is curious to see if there is a significant difference in average book ratings based on the participants format for reading.
A. What is the null hypothesis?
B. What is the alternative/research hypothesis?
C. What are the independent and dependent variables?
D.Which statistical test would you use to answer this hypothesis? Why? (OPTIONS: Independent t-test, One-Way ANOVA, Correlation, or Regression)
HYPOTHESIS 3
Finally, your professor also wants to know if each of the different BFI Personality traits are related their overall book ratings. While we ideally would be investigating all five traits, for the purposes of the question below please focus on the trait of neuroticism.
A. What is the null hypothesis?
B. What is the alternative/research hypothesis?
C. Is this research hypothesis directional or nondirectional?
D. What is the predictor (IV) and the criterion (DV)?
E. Which statistical test would you use to answer this hypothesis? Why? (OPTIONS: Independent t-test, One-Way ANOVA, Correlation, or Regression)
DATA CLEANING & VISUALIZATION
3.In order to run our analyses, you will need to make average scores and scale scores. Recode the necessary items and fill in the chart below. You will need these columns in your excel sheet as well.
Subject
Age
Format
Avg. Book Rating
BFI- Extraversion
BFI- Agreeableness
BFI- Conscientiousness
BFI- Neuroticism
BFI- Openness
1001
1002
1003
1004
1005
3.Look at these average scores and scale scores:
A. Which participant is the most critical of book selections?
B. Which participant is the most extroverted?
C. On average, what score does each book club book receive? Is this number surprising to you? Why or why not?
D. On average, how open is this book club to new potential books? How much does this impact results?
E. Are there any outliers that may impact the overall data? What would you hypothetically do to handle this data?
4.Create a bar chart showing the average book rating separated by favorite genre (creative freedom is allowed so long as the chart is interpretable). What information can you glean from this data visualization?
ANALYSIS
5.Compute the test statistic for Hypothesis 1
A. Please report the test statistic and p-value like you would in an academic paper.
B. Based on this result, what decision would you make regarding the null hypothesis? How do you know?
C. Create a scatterplot of the results.
D. If I told you that your professor rejected the null hypothesis then did they make the correct decision or make an error? If they made an error, which one did they make?
6.Compute the test statistic for Hypothesis 2
A. Please report the test statistic and p-value like you would in an academic paper.
B. Based on this result, what decision would you make regarding the null hypothesis? How do you know?
C. If I told you that your professor rejected the null hypothesis then did they make the correct decision or make an error? If they made an error, which one did they make?
7.Compute the test statistic for Hypothesis 3
A. Please report the test statistic and p-value like you would in an academic paper.
B. Based on this result, what decision would you make regarding the null hypothesis? How do you know?
C. Create a scatterplot of the results.
D. If I told you that your professor rejected the null hypothesis then did they make the correct decision or make an error? If they made an error, which one did they make?
8.Do these results surprise you? Why or why not?

What is Philosophy
Philosophy is a HUGE area of study and it has been going on for at least two THOUSAND years. In universities in the United States and Europe, there is definitely a fixed idea of the history of philosophy.To say the history of philosophy is Euro-Centric would be an understatement. Huge areas of philosophy in China, India, Africa, Indigenous Americas, and elsewhere are often seen as secondary. And even in the “Western” canon, women and minority groups are still deeply under-represented. Things are getting a bit better (in the last 20 years or so) but they are still not great.But in my view, we still need to understand the standard history of philosophy EVEN if it does need to be fixed. It is the water we are swimming in ALL OF THE TIME. Politics, economics, and pretty much everything began with a philosophical ideal. And we should know what they are.So watch this short overview of philosophy video ( Video link: ) And for our FIRST WRITTEN assignment :Pick one of the areas of philosophy (about 30 are listed in the video) from the video (What is Philosophy from the youtube link above ) and do a LITTLE extra research. THENWrite a short (2 Pages, Double Spaced) paper explaining what you learned. -
