.Select Two Variables:From one of the Discussion Board Data Sets in Doc Sharing, select one discrete variable and one continuous variable.Be sure to indicate the name of the data set you are using and the names of the variables. Note which is discrete and which is continuous and how you can tell.
b. Create Two Graphs:Using the two variables you have selected, create an appropriate graph for each to show or describe each variable. You will create two separate graphs. Paste or attach both fully labeled graphs here. For each of your graphs be sure to include all titles, labels, and information needed to correctly interpret your graphs. For example, if appropriate, include a label along the vertical y-axis and a label along the horizontal x-axis.
c. Explain and Discuss your Graphs:For each graph, explain why the particular graph you selected is appropriate for the data described by the graph. What particular elements of the graph do you want the reader to notice? What is the overall impression that you expect the reader to have from looking at the graph?
Help and Explanations:
The Discussion Board SPSS Data Sets file in Doc Sharing is a “zip file”, which will open when you download it. You must have SPSS installed BEFORE you can open any of the data sets within the Discussion Board SPSS Data Sets folder. The data sets all have a.savextension and only SPSS can open this type file. Do not attempt to open any data set until you have successfully installed SPSS. If you have any trouble opening the zip file, contact Tech Support right away.
How to Paste a graph from SPSS into Word
1)Right-click the graph in SPSS
2)Choose Copy Special
3)Check only the box that saysImage(JPG,PNG).
4)Uncheck the other boxes
5)Click in Word, the right-click and choose any Paste option
d. Pulling it all together:Data are part of our lives. When we make decisions, do research, plan a healthy diet for our families, determine the best course for a medical choice, or even choose which product to purchase, we use “information” that came in the form of data.Think of one question or idea that you might want the answer to, such as which food is highest in Vitamin D or which facial soap alleviates dry skin. Write down your question here. Then, collect (or invent) a small sample of data to answer your question. Enter your data into SPSS, and create a graph to describe your data. Include the graph here along with an explanation and any conclusions based on your data.
Help and Explanations
The mineral silica has been shown to help in the prevention of osteoporosis and arteriosclerosis. In an effort to ingest more silica, I have collected a sample of food items to compare their silica content.
Here is my small data set of foods given per 100g quantities:
Bananas: 5.4mg
Raisins: 8.3mg
Carrot: 2.3mg
Brown rice: 2.1mg
Cornflakes: 2.4mg

After I have entered these data in to SPSS (see above) and create a labeled graph, I have:

From this graph it is easy to see that Raisins give us the highest percent of silica per 100 grams of food.

e.Submit:Paste your completed Word Document to this area. If your SPSS item(s) do not paste properly, also attach your full Word document to your post, and note in your post that the SPSS items are attached.
Remember that your goal for discussion assignments is to ensure:
·Responses are on topic, original, and contribute to the quality of the discussion
·Responses are on topic, original, and contribute to the quality of the discussion
·Responses make frequent, informed references to unit material
·Responses are clearly written
·A minimum of two or more responses per thread to classmates that are thoughtful and advance the discussion are required

Clarifying the Concepts
13.2 What is a linear relation?
13.4 What is the difference between a positive correlation and a negative correlation?
13.6 When we have a straight-line relation between two variables, we use a Pearson correlation coefficient. What does this coefficient describe?
13.8 How are deviation scores used in assessing the relation between variables?
13.10 What are the null and research hypotheses for cor-relations?
13.12 Describe the third assumption of hypothesis testing with correlation.
Calculating the Statistics
13.14 Decide which of the three correlation coefficient values below goes with each of the scatterplots presented in Exercise 13.13 above.
a. 0.545
b. 0.018
c. _0.20
13.16 For each of the pairs of correlation coefficients provided, determine which one indicates a stronger relation between variables:
a. _0.28 and _0.31
b. 0.79 and 0.61
c. 1.0 and _1.0
d. _0.15 and 0.13
13.18 Create a scatter plot for the following data:
13.20 Calculate the correlation coefficient for the data provided in Exercise 13.17 by completing these three steps:
a. Calculate deviation scores, multiply the deviations for each individual, and sum all products. This is the numerator of the correlation coefficient equation.
b. Calculate the sum of squares for each variable. Then compute the square root of the product of the sums of squares. This is the denominator of the correlation coefficient equation.
c. Divide the numerator by the denominator to compute the coefficient, r.
13.22 Calculate the correlation coefficient for the data provided in Exercise 13.19 by completing these three steps:
a. Calculate deviation scores, multiply the deviations for each individual, and sum all products. This is the numerator of the correlation coefficient equation.
b. Calculate the sum of squares for each variable. Then compute the square root of the product of the sums of squares. This is the denominator of the correlation coefficient equation.
c. Divide the numerator by the…

Elizabeth Gaudino-Goering, Ph.D., Instructor of Psychology Ages and Stages Paper Final Submission Due during discussion of the stage of development you choose: Infancy: Feb 13-Feb 24 Early Childhood: Feb 27-March 16 Middle Childhood: March 19-March 29 Adolescence: April 9-April 13 Early Adulthood: April 16-April 20 Middle Adulthood: April 23-April 27 Late Adulthood: April 26-May 11 5 page paper: This paper will help you pull together everything you know about physical, cognitive, social and emotional development in regard to one person. You must choose one person to study. This person can be your own child, the child of a friend or family member, a friend, a sibling, a parent or other older relative. Your assignment is to observe the subject of your paper closely and as objectively as possible. Follow the instructions below for each aspect of development and report on your findings. You will be graded on BOTH the written paper AND your ability to discuss your findings at appropriate times throughout our class discussions of the stage you choose. How to choose a subject for your paper: Consider several things-? Why are you taking this class? o Nursing & Allied health students: You may want to focus on infancy, early childhood, or late adulthood. Lifespan is included in your curriculum because your discipline requires familiarity with the social, emotional, and cognitive well-being of the people you will most frequently be helping. You will get the most out of this class by focusing your efforts accordingly. o Other students: Choose a developmental stage that most interests you or would be useful for the work you hope to do. ? Who do you live with? It would be easiest to focus on a person who you have known all or most of their lives or one who you can spend some time with in the coming weeks.
Elizabeth Gaudino-Goering, Ph.D., Instructor of Psychology ? Look at the due dates above. If you know that other class responsibilities will be overwhelming at a certain time…

2. “Research + Common Sense = Effective Teaching,” give specific examples of how educational psychology research can enhance effective teaching.
3. You are interested in how teacher feedback written on homework (“good job,” etc.) affects the quality of subsequent homework. To illustrate the important differences between the various approaches, describe how this question might be studied using each of the following:
A. laboratory experiment
B. randomized field experiment
C. single-case experiment
D. correlational study
4.Can good teaching be taught? Answer this question while providing at least two personal examples of “good teaching” from your own perspective, either as a student or teacher.
5.Formulate two experiments that would be informative and helpful to teachers and that could be carried out in your classroom using a single-case experiment. Map out your anticipated imaginary results as done in figure 1.2 of the text.
6.Define and contrast external validity and internal validity as they relate to laboratory experiments versus correlational research.
7.Define and give an example of your own illustrating the three types of correlation (positive, no correlation, negative).
8.List the principal advantage and disadvantage of correlational research as compared to experimental research.
