Description Must have SPSS software access.. HOMEWORK: INDEPENDENT-SAMPLES T TEST ASSIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS OVERVIEW You will be completing two independent-samples t tests in SPSS, using data that are related to specific research scenarios in the behavioral sciences, such as psychology, social work, and counseling. Behind the scenes knowledge of how this test is conducted 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 commonly 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 run an analysis in SPSS. The required product will include the SPSS output, an APA-style Results section describing the results, and the appropriate graph inserted as a Figure in current APA style. For each scenario, you will create a new SPSS data file with the data from the problem scenario. ALL variable names in your SPSS data files must include your initials, so that they show up in your SPSS output and graph. For example, for someone with the initials ABC creating a variable of memory scores, the variable could be named “ABC_mem_scores” or “Mem_Scores_ABC”, etc. For all problems, interpret results based on an alpha level of a = .05. Please review the Watch: SPSS Homework Tutorial for the Independent Samples t test in this module for directions on how to run the statistical test, as well as the Watch: Results Sections for the Independent-samples t test in APA Style, which includes a template for completing the APA-style Results sections for the independent-samples t test
