The Source Analysis Assignment is an opportunity for you to think in an in-depth way about what kinds of sources are appropriate for scholarly work, and for you to look carefully at the arguments those sources make. You cannot make clear and well-informed arguments of your own unless you really understand the information and the conversations that surround your research question or problem. While you may not document your sources in exactly this way after this class, the thinking that is included in this assignment will be expected in every upper level class where research and research papers are required. Assignment should be done in times new roman 12, double spaced.

Research Question: How do people with an Amish background experience social anxiety when out of their community compared to those with no religious affiliations?

Our mental processes significantly affect the way we experience the world: perception, attention and memory

One of the key themes explored in the weeks on cognitive psychology is how mental processes (note that mental processes and cognitive processes are the same) allow us to interpret the world around us. As you have seen, this interpretation means that we do not always experience the whole environment around us as it actually exists. This includes only attending to certain aspects of the environment, using existing knowledge to support perception and the reconstructive nature of memory. Throughout this block you have further developed your skills in critical reading and writing for different audiences. Critically discuss the extent to which cognitive processes affect the way we experience the world.

Psychology Question

1. Pretend you are sending in a requested proposal to a corporation for Appreciative Inquiry Coaching for their executives. Thoroughly explain what AI is and explain at least 3 major techniques you will use. Also, one VP is totally against the proposal because they do not want a wasteful Pollyanna system. They want something that will address the significant problems the corporation is experiencing; be sure to address the fact that AI can deal with the shadow issues in the corporation. You must include the perspectives of Gervase Bushe, et al. You will lose major points if you do not write about the shadow and Bush’s perspectives. (30% 2-3 pages total. You need to write at least 1 page on the shadow.)

2. For this question, do not use the AI book; instead, you should only use the Positive Coaching Psychology book and other sources. Choose 4 disparate Positive Psychology Coaching concepts and thoroughly explain how to use them. (30% 2-3 pages)

Describe in your own words what type of research situations call for a researcher to use a multiple regression analysis.

/in /by

SPSS; Multiple regression

Before you begin the assignment:

  • Read Chapter 8 in your Discovering Statistics Using IBM SPSS Statistics
  • Review the video tutorial for an overview of conducting multiple regression in SPSS.
  • Access and open the Popularity SPSS data set.

An overview of the data set:

This data set represents hypothetical data from a study that examined how well some core personality traits predict a person’s level of popularity. Personality was measured using the “Big 5,” which is a very commonly used measure of personality. In fact, a Big 5 personality scale was included in the Module Two discussion.

Here is some more information about the variables in this hypothetical data set:

  • Number: This is the ID number of the participant
  • Sex: Participants’ sex, with “1” standing for male and “2” standing for female
  • Age: College year of the participant, with “1” standing for freshman, “2” standing for sophomore, etc.
  • Popularity: Popularity measured with a questionnaire that could range from 0 to 100, with higher numbers indicating more popularity
  • Extroversion: A Big 5 trait indicating level of sociability. Scores range from 1 to 5, with high numbers indicating extroverted and low numbers indicating introverted
  • Agreeableness: A Big 5 trait indicating level of interpersonal warmth and friendliness. Scores range from 1 to 5, with high numbers indicating warmth and low numbers indicating coldness towards others
  • Conscientiousness: A Big 5 trait indicating level of self-control and responsibility. Scores range from 1 to 5, with high numbers indicating high conscientiousness and low numbers indicating low conscientiousness
  • Neuroticism: A Big 5 trait indicating level of anxiety and emotional stability. Scores range from 1 to 5, with high numbers indicating high neuroticism and low numbers indicating low neuroticism
  • Openness: A Big 5 trait indicating level of willingness to try new things and creativity. Scores range from 1 to 5, with high numbers indicating high open-mindedness and low numbers indicating closed-mindedness

 

Questions:

1) Describe in your own words what type of research situations call for a researcher to use a multiple regression analysis.

 

2a) Run a basic correlation of matrix for the Popularity, Extraversion, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, Neuroticism, and Openness variables.

2b) Based on these results, which personality variables are significantly correlated with Popularity?

 

3a) Conduct a multiple regression analysis using Extraversion, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, Neuroticism, and Openness as predictors of Popularity.

3b) Which variables are significant predictors of Popularity? Compare and contrast the results from the multiple regression analysis to the basic correlation results from question 2b.

3c) What is the R-squared of this model, and what does it tell us about how well this model predicts Popularity?

3d) Write the results of the multiple regression in APA style. For help, refer to the Regression section in this Reporting Statistics document.
