week five discussion program

Week 5 Discussion: Exploring Your Data

This week you will create a small hypothetical dataset based on the outcome measure you selected in Week 4.

You are not collecting real client data. You will create 10 hypothetical participant rows in Jamovi or SPSS for learning purposes.

In your discussion post, include the following:

1. Brief Description of Your Dataset 

• Your selected measure
• The variables you created (example: item-level variables, subscale scores, or total score)
• Any scoring rules (reverse-scoring, subscale formulas, mean averaging, etc.)

2. Screenshot of Your Dataset 

Provide one screenshot showing:

• Variable names in the columns
• Ten hypothetical participant rows

(If your screen can’t show all variables at once, two screenshots are fine.)

3. Descriptive Statistics

Run basic frequencies or descriptives in Jamovi or SPSS. Upload a PDF containing:

• Means, standard deviations, or frequency tables for each variable

4. Brief Interpretation

In a short paragraph, explain:

• What your descriptive statistics say about your hypothetical sample
• Any unusual values or missing data

No responses are required this week due to the nature of the assignment! 

Note: The official due date is Wednesday at 11:59 PM ET. However, because this is a holiday week, you may submit your Week 5 discussion anytime through Sunday without penalty.
