In this assignment, we will analyze data from two experimental studies. In the first study, we will analyze an experiment with 2 groups in a t-test. In the second study, we will analyze an experiment with 3 groups in a one-way ANOVA. You will then write up an APA style results section. We will be using the data discussed in the SPSS for Research Methods textbook for chapter 4, sections 4.1 & 4.2. Full instructions and data files are included below.
Here is the research scenario (see images used on pages 82 & 89 in the SPSS textbook):
The researchers were interested in intelligence ratings of people in photographs.
In Experiment 1, researchers were interested in whether tattoos impacted perception of intelligence of a pictured woman. Participants were randomly assigned to two groups and shown two photographs of women (one at a time): the first group seeing both women without tattoos, and the second group seeing the first woman with a tattoo and the second woman without a tattoo. The IV is tattoo condition because the researchers manipulated it. There are two levels of the tattoo condition: no tattoo versus a tattoo on her arm. Students were instructed to rate each woman’s intelligence on a scale of 1 (not at all intelligent) to 10 (extremely intelligent). This rating is the DV. Participants also indicated whether or not they had a tattoo themselves.
In Experiment 2, researchers were interested in the effects of education level on perceived intelligence when viewing a picture of a woman WITHOUT a tattoo. They predicted that higher education levels would lead to higher ratings of intelligence. Participants viewed a stock image of a woman talking on the phone and were asked to rate her intelligence on a scale of 1 to 10 (1 being not at all intelligent and 10 being extremely intelligent). They were randomly assigned to one of three conditions in an independent groups design: Group 1 read that she graduated with a high school degree, group 2 read she graduated with a college degree, and group 3 read she graduated with a master’s degree.

Most computer labs on campus have SPSS installed, including the computer lab in the psychology building. To access SPSS from off campus, you will need to use the ArgoApps remote desktop software. You can find ArgoApps by logging into myUWF and searching for ArgoApps. Instructions for using ArgoApps can be found in Confluence Links to an external site.. For additional help using ArgoApps, visit the ArgoApps page in Confluence Links to an external site.. You will likely have to use Google Drive in order to access your files via G Drive. You may want to consider installing the Citrix Receiver if you want to access files on your local computer (Citrix Information Links to an external site.).
If you are not completing the assignment on campus, attempt to download and open the SPSS data files no later than Wednesday this week. If you cannot figure out how to access and save files via your Google Drive, then contact ITS (helpdesk@uwf.edu) so they can help you navigate ArgoApps. Do not wait until the last minute to try and figure out how to get access to SPSS and/or save your output files.I will not provide any extensions on the assignment for last minute problems in accessing SPSS.
