PSYC3010 Multiple Regression (MR) Assignment 2023  (maximum 500 words, excluding SPSS output and syntax)

Objective:

Create ONE multiple-choice quiz question (JUST ONE) with FIVE response options based on the content taught in Lectures 1-6 and Tutorials 1-3.  You must use the data set provided for THIS assignment (Data for the Regression  Assignment 2023). The participants in this dataset were Australian 1st year psychology students (N=179). You do not need to describe the participants for your assignment.

Using this data set, you need to:

1. Choose ANY SIX variables, ONE dependent variable (DV) and FIVE independent variables (IVs).

2. Postulate your research question and conduct the relevant analyses using SPSS. You are NOT required to cite existing research, but your question must be plausible and interesting to psychologists!

a.    Your analyses must contain one DV and five IVs chosen from the data set provided.

b.   The five IVs must be chosen from at leastfour different clusters detailed in the ‘Description of Variables’ document (e.g., NOT all from the COPE Inventory or Personality Item Pool).

c.    Correlations between the independent variables must be below  |.50|.

d.   You must conduct a simultaneous multiple regression (not sequential or simple linear regression).   e.    The results must include at least TWO statistically significant predictors, and one must be negative. f.     Do NOT include any interaction terms or categorical variables in the analyses for THIS assignment.

3. For the response options:

a.    You need to have FIVE multiple-choice response options, labelled A, B, C, D, and E.

b. Only ONE of the response options is to be correct, and it must be labelled with an asterisk (*).

c. Each response option must include reasons as to why it is a CORRECT or INCORRECT response (see the multiple examples provided in the practice quizzes).

d.   You CANNOT use response options such as “All of the Above” or “None of the Above” or “Both a and b” . e.    Your question CANNOT be “Which of the following five options is FALSE?”

4. For the CONTENT of your FIVE response options:

a.    Response option A must be based on interpretation(s) of the unstandardized or standardized regression coefficient(s) (plenty of examples can be found in the lectures/tutorials).

b.    Response option B must be based on the formulae/calculations involved in the results/output (plenty of examples can be found in the lectures/tutorials).

c.    Response option C must be based on a “Plain English” conclusion (plenty of examples can be found in the lectures/tutorials).

d.    Response option D must be based on comparison(s) between the unstandardized or standardized regression coefficients (plenty of examples can be found in the lectures/tutorials).

e.    Response option E is completely up to you (surprise us ).

5. You will need to submit ONE pdfOR word file containing:

a.    Your ‘research’ question (50-100 words max), specifying the names of the variables that you used in parentheses (plenty of examples can be found in the lectures/tutorials)

b.   Your multiple-choice quiz item (including all five response options and the reasons for each being correct/incorrect)

c.    Relevant syntax (pasted in its entirety into the Appendix), and the correlation matrix (see template)

d.   All submissions will be processed through Turnitin. Plagiarism of any sort will not be tolerated.

e.    Copy and paste the SPSS output/tables as pictures.  However, paste your syntax as text, so we can re- run it during marking.

Any tables used in your quiz item can be either in APA format or copied directly from SPSS output (make sure they fit on the page). Whatever SPSS output you based your quiz question on must be included in the ‘quiz file’ submitted (see template). However, your syntax (even for the analyses NOT used for the quiz question) needs to be included in the Appendix (see template).

Marking Criteria [out of 100]

Your question will be marked based on:

1) [10 marks] Plausibility of the design and general setup of the regression model (i.e., a coherent and reasonable set of DV and IVs). Conducting the appropriate analyses and submitting a complete Appendix. NB: we do NOT expect you to cite any research!

2) [75 marks] Accuracy and quality of the five response options (15 marks each)

a.    Accuracy of each proposed response option AND feedback in terms of theoretical/statistical analysis, interpretation, calculation, justification, etc, (focussing on the details provided in the instructions.)

b.    Quality of the proposed response options AND feedback. For example, having good distractors —

reasonably plausible on the surface, sufficiently difficult to reject, and being incorrect for good reasons (instead of typos etc). Amount of non-trivial details in the distractors.

3) [5 marks] Overall coherency and formatting of your quiz item

4) [10 marks] Independent, original thought
