*STATEMENT OF PURPOSE* - Bright Academic Experts

i dont have to collect data ..i just have to use the class survey excel file and make a poster (pdf).

*my variables are:*

IV: sensation seeking (use the TOTAL score from BSSS, not individual questions)

DV: family social support (single question, 15 scale)

what you need to do:

1.open the excel file and ONLY use these columns:

sensation_total

socsup_fam

2.find the mean of sensation_total (its around 2.77) and split people into 2 groups:

low sensation seeking (below mean)

high sensation seeking (above mean)

3.for each group, find the mean of socsup_fam

final values should be:

low group = 2.50

high group = 3.67

4.make a bar graph:

2 bars only

x-axis: low vs high sensation seeking

y-axis: mean family support (range 15)

5.make a poster (like powerpoint slides) with these sections:

introduction

method

results

discussion

references

6.in method:

explain BSSS (scale, example item, scoring, reliability + validity)

write the family support question exactly

7.in results:

mention how groups were made (mean split)

include both means + graph

8.in discussion:

explain which group is higher

say we cant prove cause (just relationship)

keep it simple, clean, and in APA style

final file should be a PDF
