Expert answer:Please use the following data set (attached) and template (listed below and attached) to conduct the following assignment,In this Assignment, you apply what you learned to answer a social research question using logistic regression.To prepareReview the datasets provided.Construct a research question based on one of those datasets.Remember that your dependent variable must be dichotomous.Think about how you might use the odds ratio in your analysis to simplify the interpretation of your results.The AssignmentUse SPSS to answer the research question you constructed. Then, compose a 1- to 2-paragraph analysis in APA format in which you answer the following questions:What is the null hypothesis for your question?What research design(s) would align with this question?What dependent variable was used and how is it measured?What independent variable is used and how is it measured?How well did the model fit?If you found significance, what is the strength of the effect?What is the answer to your research question?What are the possible implications of social change?Be sure to include your data output with your analysis. See page 1032 in your Warner textbook for an excellent APA-compliant write-up of a binary logistic regression analysis.

Name of Stats Test
Introduction
In a paragraph identify what statistical test you are doing, what data set you used, and
what you are attempting to test using the variables you chose.
Research Question
Write your one sentence research question here. This should not be written as a question
you can answer with a yes or no. Also, you will either use difference, effect, or relationship
depending on the type of statistical test you are doing (see underlined word in RQ and
hypotheses). You can also see that the independent variables (blue) are listed first and the
dependent variable last (green)—do not use colors in your paper. Here is an example:
RQ: What is the relationship between the number of candy bars eaten in a day, hours
spent exercising each week, and BMI?
Hypotheses
Null Hypothesis (H0): Write your null hypothesis here. You need to use the terminology “no
statistically significant” in the null (see words in bold). You can also see that the independent
variables (blue) are listed first and the dependent variable last (green)—do not use colors in your
paper. Here is an example: There is no statistically significant relationship between the number
of candy bars eaten in a day, hours spent exercising each week, and BMI.
Alternative Hypothesis (HA): Write your alternative hypothesis here. You need to use the
terminology “statistically significant” in the alternative (see words in bold). You can also see
that the independent variables (blue) are listed first and the dependent variable last (green)—do

not use colors in your paper. Here is an example: There is a statistically significant relationship
between the number of candy bars eaten in a day, hours spent exercising each week, and BMI.
Variables
Independent Variables (IV): List your independent variables here as well as how they are
coded (values) in your dataset. For example:
Gender—Male=0; Female=1
Age—Actual age in years at time of data collection
Dependent Variables (DV): List your dependent variables here as well as how they are
coded (values) in your dataset. For example:
Weight—Self-reported weight in pounds at time of data collection
Ever been a smoker—0=no; 1=yes
Results
Write your results section here. This should only be 1-3 paragraphs long—be succinct—
but focus the results write up towards your null hypothesis and research question. Make sure that
you address if the assumptions of the statistical test are met or not and what you did if they were
not met and why. At the end of the results you should include if you are rejecting the null
hypothesis and accepting the alternative (or retaining the null if that is appropriate) and
why. Please see the examples posted in the announcements for an idea of what you results
should look like and also look at the example below.
↓
I highly recommend that you provide an APA formatted table to illustrate the results that
you are discussing. It is difficult for the reader to follow the results if you just list a lot of
4
numbers so use a table if the results are more complex than you can explain well in sentence
format. However, make sure that the table is completely in APA format (see examples
starting on p. 129 of the 6th ed. APA manual) as the tables that are generated by SPSS are
not in APA format. The table below is APA formatted.
Here is an example of an APA formatted results section:
An ANCOVA was conducted to determine the effect of two different therapy approaches
on stalking-type behavior after controlling for pre-therapy stalking-type behavior. There was
homogeneity of regression slopes as the interaction term was not statistically significant, F(1,46)
= .882, p = .353. The Levene’s test of homogeneity of covariances (F(1, 48) = 7.19, p = .01), was
statistically significant and therefore the assumption was violated. The main effect of therapy
approach was statistically significant, F(1, 47) = 5.49, p = .023, partial η2 = .11, indicating that
the hours spent in stalking-type behavior was lower after using the cognitive-behavioral therapy
approach (M = 55.30, SE = 1.87) as compared to using the psychodynamic therapy approach (M
= 61.50, SE = 1.87), as indicated in Table 1.

The covariate was statistically significant, F(1, 47) = 50.46, p < .05, partial η2 = .52, indicating
that amount of time spent in stalking-type behavior before therapy had a statistically significant
effect on amount of time spent in stalking-type behavior after therapy. Therefore the null
hypothesis is rejected and the alternative accepted. This means that the amount of time spent
stalking before therapy should be considered when determining effectiveness of therapy on
stalking behavior and the cognitive-behavioral therapy approach may be more effective in
treating stalking behavior.
***Make sure to copy and paste your SPSS output (everything produced by SPSS at the
end of the paper AFTER the reference list (not in the results section). There is a place at
the end of the paper for you to paste this.
Conclusion
Please provide a short (1 paragraph) summary conclusion.
