The assignment is to write a research report describing the research questions, methodology, observed data, and statistical findings appropriate for each research question below.

This research report is to be formatted as a MS Word document, single-spaced, with 1" margins , and spaces between paragraphs. It should include a cover page and page headers and footers identifying it as my paper. It should use sub headings to separate sections of narrative. In other respects and with in reason, it should conform to the APA publications style and include appropriate table and/or figures. Table and figures my be imported from computer program output but should be examined and edited for appearance and to eliminate extraneous material. These should be resized and placed as appropriate with the narrative and NOT appended at the end of the document.

You are expected to use the data set provided and either SAS, SPSS, or Excel to perform appropriate analyses. Do not submit raw or edited computer outputs. Rather, import relevant information from these outputs into your research report and explain it.

Problem Context:

A school is interested n studying the effects of occupational stress on the health and well-being of its employees. A number of interesting questions concerning aspects of stress were raised from a review of the literature. A survey was designed to explore some of these issues in the school environment. This initial survey was administered near the end of a school year to administrators, teachers, and staff. A copy of the survey and codebook developed to describe the data layout are included.

The examiner wants to avoid TYPE I "false positive" errors when testing hypotheses and sets alpha = .05 for this study. At the same time the researcher is interested in estimation and reporting the observed power of each test to avoid TYPE II errors.

Part #1

Create a new variable called STRESS , defined as the average stress score for the variables cowork and gowork . Is there a difference in mean stress among the three job classifications and, if so, where does this effect appear to be?

Part #2

Is there a difference in the mean level of stress between individuals who have a home PC versus those who don’t have these appliances?

Part #3

Is there a difference among men and women working in these various job classifications in terms of their mean perceptions and how important their personal health is to their job?

Part #4

Do men and women differ in mean stress as a function of job classification?

Part #5

Among the administrators in the sample, is there a difference and, if so, where does this effect appear to be, in the mena number of hours spent in the three main job-related tasks?

Part #6

A math test was presented to a group of N=25 students and at the beginning of a mathematics class as a pretest. The same test was administered as a posttest. Each student increased his or her score by 2 points on the posttest. A dependent samples t-test was performed on the data. What was the valued of the resulting t-test? What was the p-value associated with that result? What was the correlation between the pretest and posttest results?
