Description A social work intern is conducting a parenting class for clients at her agency. The social work intern is interested in examining if there is a relationship between participants’ level of education (measured by how many years of schooling completed) and participants’ training posttest scores. The student ran a Pearson’s correlation to address the research question. The intern's data file is attached. Focus on the relevant variables: “Level of Education” and “Posttest skill scores”. For this homework, do the following: State your research question State your independent and dependent variables State your research hypothesis State your null hypothesis Conduct a Pearson's correlation in JASP with the intern data. Here is how to do it (details are in this week's PowerPoints): Create a spreadsheet with the intern data so that you can run it in JASP Save your file as .csv If using JASP online: Upload file to OSF Open your file in JASP: Open > My Computer > [Your file] If using JASP online: Open > OSF > Log in to OSF > [Your file] Double check that the variables are measured at the correct levels Run descriptives Run a graph Run your Pearson's correlation Interpret output; be sure to report: Your descriptives output table Write one - two sentences describing each of the variables Your graphs Your Pearson's correlation test output table Write an explanation of your Pearson's correlation test results in sentence form. Use this format, and fill in the information in red based on your results: I ran a Pearson's correlation test in JASP to examine [insert a brief explanation of what you were trying to understand]. I set the alpha level to ___. Results show that there was/was not a [if applicable: small/medium/strong] [if applicable: positive/negative] significant ______ between education and posttest scores, where p=___, r = ____. Therefore, I reject/do not reject the null hypothesis. In summary, [in simple terms, what does this mean about relationship between the variables?]
