Chapter 8 Relationship Between Correlation and Bivariate Regressions Discussion

Chapter 8 Relationship Between Correlation and Bivariate Regressions Discussion

You had the chance earlier in the week to practice with the correlationand simple linear regression and obtain peer feedback. Hopefully you areexcited about the potential these tests hold; equally important is thatyou recognize some of their weaknesses. Now, it is once again time toput all of that good brainstorming to use and answer a social researchquestion with the correlation and simple linear regression. As you beginthe Assignment, be sure and pay close attention to the assumptions ofthe test. Specifically, make sure that your variables are metric levelvariables that can easily be interpreted in these tests.

For this Assignment, you will examine correlation and bivariate regression testing.

To prepare for this Assignment:

  • Review this week’s Learning Resources and media program related to regression and correlation.
  • Usingthe SPSS software, open the Afrobarometer dataset or the High SchoolLongitudinal Study dataset (whichever you choose) found in the LearningResources for this week.
  • Basedon the dataset you chose, construct a research question that can beanswered with a Pearson correlation and bivariate regression.
  • Onceyou perform your correlation and bivariate regression analysis, reviewChapter 11 of the Wagner text to understand how to copy and paste youroutput into your Word document.

For this Assignment:

Writea 3-paragraph analysis of your correlation and bivariate regressionresults for each research question. Do not forget to evaluate if thecorrelation and bivariate regression assumptions are met and report theeffect size. In your analysis, display the data for the output. Based onyour results, provide an explanation of what the implications of socialchange might be.

Use proper APA format, citations, and referencing for your analysis, research question, and display of output.
