  1. Application: Analyzing SPSS (PASW) Software: Part 2

  2. For this assignment you use SPSS (PASW) software and learn to properly munipulate the data according the APA requirements. This is an important skill and will be a major factor in future assignments in this course, your doctoral studies and dissertation. It is strongly encouraged that you review Chapter 5 of the
    APA Publication Manual
    to understand table and figure requirements before starting.
    Follow the directions for using SPSS (PASW) in this assignment.
    You will then write a 5-6 page paper in which you present your table and an analysis of your findings. Keep in mind that you cannot draw conclusions without further testing. Instead identify notable trends, patterns, relationships, associations, etc. Your paper must meet the following requirements.
    Include an opening including thesis statement, body and conclusion
    Include a properly stated research question
    Include an examination on whether your hypothesis was accepted or rejected through statistical testing
    Include a background, history and objective
    Include a properly formatted null and alternative hypothesis was validated or rejected through statistical testing
    Include a presentation, interpretation and discussion of results from the tables and figures created
    Follow APA (American Psychological Association) style and include in-text citations and a separate references page

    Week 2 Application Directions

  3. Open the Main Dataset file located in Resources and use the File > Open > Data function to import the data into PASW, making sure to import only the range from A1 to J52 on the Excel worksheet.

  4. Add an ordinal variable to the PASW worksheet titled EXPERIENCE, with three classifications Low (0 to 5 years), Medium (6 to 10 years) and High (11+ years).

  5. Enter Low for supervisors BOS-1, BOS-4, BOS-7, BOS-10, BOS-13, PHO-1, PHO-4, PHO-7, PHO-10, PHO-13, PHO-16, PHO-19, SEA-1, SEA-4, SEA-7, SEA-10, SEA-13, and SEA-16. Use Medium for supervisors BOS-2, BOS-5, BOS-8, BOS-11, BOS-14, PHO-2, PHO-5, PHO-8, PHO-11, PHO-14, PHO-17, SEA-2, SEA-5, SEA-8, SEA-11, SEA-14, and SEA-17. Use High for BOS-3, BOS-6, BOS-9, BOS-12, BOS-15, PHO-3, PHO-6, PHO-9, PHO-12, PHO-15, PHO-18, SEA-3, SEA-6, SEA-9, SEA-12, and SEA-15.

  6. Ensure all variables are designated as numeric, except for Site, Supervisor, SupervisorGender, Experience and Operations, which are string variables.

  7. Save the file to your computer under a unique name, ensuring that Site (width = 7; Nominal), Supervisor (width = 6; Nominal), Experience (width = 8; Ordinal), NumEmps (width = 11; Scale), HoursWorked (width = 11; Scale), SupervisorGender (width =6; Nominal), PerSafeBeh (width = 11; Scale), InjuryRate (width = 13; Scale), Safety Climate (width = 11; Scale), Risk (width = 11; Nominal) and Operations (width = 50; Nominal). Al variables are String, except for the Scale variables which are numeric.

  8. Open the file and ensure all data are included on the PASW file. Eliminate extraneous variables, usually in the columns led or headed by terms like VAR00011, VAR00012, etc.
