SPSS Homework: Central Tendency Assignment Instructions

Overview

This assignment is designed to increase your statistical literacy and proficiency in summarizing, visualizing, and interpreting central tendency within data sets. You will work within SPSS, using data that are related to specific research scenarios in the behavioral sciences such as psychology, social work, and counseling. A working knowledge of how to summarize and visualize data is fundamental to being able to understand and apply research in your related field to your practice. Additionally, SPSS skills are professionally valuable, as it is one of the most used statistical software packages in behavioral science settings, both academic and professional.

Instructions

  • This assignment includes two problem sets that contain research scenarios and related questions.
  • For each scenario, you will respond to a series of questions asking you to create and interpret various tables and charts in SPSS. Paste your SPSS output directly into the homework underneath each relevant question. Type written answers into the document underneath the question to which they relate.
  • This assignment is worth 60 points.

 

Please review Watch: SPSS Homework Tutorial: Describing and Graphing Central Tendency and Watch: SPSS Homework Tutorial: Describing and Graphing Central Tendency for Groups in this module for directions on how to enter data in SPSS and use it to produce the final product for your assignment. The scenarios begin on the next page.

 

Problem Set 1: A neuropsychologist who works with clients over 60 years of age administers the Dementia Severity Rating Scale (DSRS; Clark and Ewbank, 1996) to the caregivers of 20 clients. On the DSRS, lower scores indicate a lack of, or low severity of, dementia symptoms; while higher scores indicate more severe dementia symptoms. The scores are contained in the table below.

  1. Using the data in the table above, set up a data file in SPSS and create a table of descriptive statistics using the “Explore” command. Paste the table here: (8 pts)
  2. Using the same data, create a histogram showing the distribution of DSRS scores in the sample. Paste the histogram here: (7 pts)
  3. List the mean and the median for DSRS scores. (4 pts)
  4. Based on the information in numbers 1-3, which measure of central tendency would you use to describe this data set? Support your answer with material from the presentations and/or reading this week. (6 pts)
  5. Locate the outliers in the data set. Based on your knowledge of DSRS scores, what would your recommendation be for the caregivers of the patients with these outlying scores? (5 pts)

 

Problem Set 2: The following data are based on numbers taken from the Bureau of Labor Statistics surveys from the year 2019 ( https://www.bls.gov/cps/aa2019/cpsaat39.htm ), for community, service, social science, and education occupations. They represent the average weekly pay for wage and salary earners measured during 2019 and broken down by gender. Enter these data into a new file containing one grouping variable for gender and one variable for salary.

For the Gender variable in column 1, code women as 1 and men as 2

Remember to define these in Value Labels as covered in the presentations.

There will be thirteen “1”s and thirteen “2”s (as many participants as in each group) in the Gender column in SPSS.

The corresponding earnings will be entered in the Salary column in SPSS.

Briefly describe humanistic-existential psychotherapy and the second approach you selected.  Explain at least three differences between these therapies. Include how these differences might impact your practice as a PMHNP. Focusing on one video you viewed, explain why humanistic-existential psychotherapy was utilized with the patient in the video and why it was the treatment of choice. Describe the expected potential outcome if the second approach had been used with the patient.

Comparing Humanistic-Existential Psychotherapy with Other Approaches

Understanding the strengths of each type of therapy and which type of therapy is most appropriate for each patient is an essential skill of the psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner. In this Assignment, you will compare humanistic-existential therapy to another psychotherapeutic approach. You will identify the strengths and challenges of each approach and describe expected potential outcomes.

To prepare:

  • Review the humanistic-existential psychotherapy videos in this week’s Learning Resources.
  • Reflect on humanistic-existential psychotherapeutic approaches.
  • Then, select another psychotherapeutic approach to compare with humanistic-existential psychotherapy. The approach you choose may be one you previously explored in the course or one you are familiar with and especially interested in.

The Assignment

In a 2- to 3-page paper, address the following:

  • Briefly describe humanistic-existential psychotherapy and the second approach you selected.
  • Explain at least three differences between these therapies. Include how these differences might impact your practice as a PMHNP.
  • Focusing on one video you viewed, explain why humanistic-existential psychotherapy was utilized with the patient in the video and why it was the treatment of choice. Describe the expected potential outcome if the second approach had been used with the patient.
  • Support your response with specific examples from this week’s media and at least three peer-reviewed, evidence-based sources. Explain why each of your supporting sources is considered scholarly. Attach the PDFs of your sources.

Note: The School of Nursing requires that all papers submitted include a title page, introduction, summary, and references. The Sample Paper provided at the Walden Writing Center provides an example of those required elements (available at http://academicguides.waldenu.edu/writingcenter/templates ). All papers submitted must use this formatting.

Difficulties and limitations in manufacturing composite parts/structures;
Difficulties involved in repairing composite articles (i.e., autoclave ovens and vacuum sealing);
Careful attention to material handling of composite articles (i.e., the sensitive nature of handling composite material without damaging it);
Difficulties involved in detecting failures of composite articles (i.e., fatigue signs, debonding, internal damage, etc.);
Instantaneous vs. progressive failures;
Health risks to employees working with and around composites (i.e., eyes, skin, breathing fibers into lungs, etc.); or
Any other issue you find interesting and would like to share.

Find and research an article or study that relates to an aviation incident or accident involving some failure of a composite article. Explain the mechanical and/or structural factors concerned, complete with and “how” the accident/incident unfolded and “why” it occurred.
