Statistics Project

You will be provided several project options with data sets in order to conduct your own quantitative analysis. You will be expected to provide a written summary of your study as though it was your study, written in a research article format. Consequently, you will need to review the study conditions and hypotheses, provide an introductory overview with a simple literature search (4-6 articles), summary of the variables and study components, discussion of the descriptive statistics, method and results, and discussion (see outline below). Unlike the data analysis assignments, you will not be given the type of analysis utilized for the project 5-6 pages (not including appendix & reference page)

Your project should include the following:

1. -Cover page with title of your project (5pts)
2. -Introduction (10pts)
3. -Description of your study (20pts)

1. Focus of the study and purpose
2. Variables (IV, DV, measurement levels)
3. Sample and proposed population
4. Data and study concerns

Confounding variables/Covariates

Violated Assumptions (e.g. normality, independence, etc.)

Measurement problems

1. -Data Analysis & Assumptions (e.g. outliers, normality, etc.) (10pts)
2. -Descriptive Statistics Discussion (with table) (10pts)
3. -Discussion of your method (e.g. t-test, correlation/regression, etc.) (15pts)

1. Type of method
2. Purpose for using that method
3. Hypotheses (null and alternative)
4. Level of confidence/significance
5. Graph depicting the relationship between variables

1. -Results (15pts)
2. -Conclusion & Discussion (10pts)

9 -Appendix: Data Tables, Figures & References (5pts)

Developing an entrepreneurial vision and self-concept as capable of creative entrepreneurship has been cited as a possible factor in helping inner-city youth realize an alternate future that can assist in overcoming low educational attainment and poverty, as well as reducing various risk factors differentially affecting marginalized individuals. A program, EnVision , was created that would deviate from the common core, adapting the high school curriculum in order to emphasize entrepreneurship. In addition to aiding students in constructing a self-image as entrepreneur and formulating one or more entrepreneurial ideas, students were assisted in developing a strategic plan and gaining foundational skills to aid in actualizing their plan.

The developers of the program sought to assess the efficacy of their program after 12 years of implementation. In particular, they examined whether there were meaningful differences between groups of former students who had actualized their original or some other entrepreneurial vision and those that did not (ENVIS YES = 1, NO = 0) on their subjective level of perceived success as measured by the Level of Perceived Success Scale (LPSS). The LPSS is a 30-item self-report measure in which scores range from 0 to 90. Items are rated as 0 = No agreement, 1 = Minimal Agreement, 2 = Moderate Agreement, and 3 = Strong Agreement. Additional variables included level of intellectual ability (IQ; LOW AVG = 1, AVG = 2, ABOVE AVG = 3), and level of extraversion (EXT; LOW EXT = 1 [8 – 16], MOD EXT = 2 [17 – 31], HIGH EXT = 3 [32 – 40]) as measured by the Big-Five Extraversion scale, in which scores ranging from 8-40 were broken up into three levels of the variable.

A sample of 125 graduates (n = 125) were randomly selected and administered a brief culture-fair estimate of IQ, the Big-Five personality assessment, and the Level of Perceived Success Scale. Of the 125 graduates, L indicated they had actualized their entrepreneurial vision while M indicated they had not. Graduates were nearly equally split by gender (M = 55, F = 60). The mean age of the sample was X years old. The sample was comprised of (ethnicity)

Test the hypotheses that level of perceived success as measured by the LPSS is statistically associated with enacting one’s entrepreneurial vision, IQ and extraversion and any possible interaction effects. If appropriate, conduct post-hoc tests to assess pairwise relationships between levels of the variables.

Furthermore, examine the relationship between IQ, extraversion and Level of Perceived Success (LPS). If IQ and/or extraversion are predictive of LPS, provide the linear equation. Estimate the the LPSS for someone with an IQ of 109 and/or an extraversion score of 26.
