CHAPTER IV: DATA ANALYSIS AND RESULTS

Results are presented according to scientific presentation order and

APA format. Results flow logically. Data Screening including assessment of missing data, outliners,

normality, etc. Results have the following order: Descriptive Statistics, Bivariate

Analyses, Multivariate Analyses. Descriptive analyses are appropriate for the type of variables and

presented for all relevant variables (begin with demographic analysis followed by study sample characteristics and frequencies) Assumptions checking (for example, Normality, Linearity,

Heteroscedasticity, Multicollinearity). Bivariate statistics are appropriate for the type of variables and are

used to test study hypotheses and assess confounding potential of covariates Multivariate Analyses are appropriate for the type of variables and are

testing study hypotheses. Effects of control variables. Instrumentation and measurement model: validity and reliability for

initial and final instruments. Specific results are presented for each analysis (i.e. coefficients, pvalues,

R squares for linear regression, Odds Ratios and Confidence Intervals for Logistic regression etc.) Statistical results are presented for an audience with professional

knowledge of statistics. Data analysis is consistent to the analyses planned in the Methods

section of the Dissertation Results for testing study hypotheses are included in tables and figures

and interpreted appropriately Significant results besides those answering main research questions

are highlighted and interpreted Tables/figures make sense independently and convey clear

information. Only relevant information is included. Tables/figures are formatted for the Dissertation

b) Which section, if any, of the handbook included new information to you? Explain

CHAPTER III: METHODOLOGY

Research Design The design is accurately identified and described

The design is appropriate and it will answer the study's hypotheses

Includes sufficient information on protection for Human Subjects

Study Population Populations have been identified and described

Recruiting and sampling procedure have been identified

Power analysis, effect size have been calculated, are sufficient and

correctly presented Data Collection Tools Measurement instrument, etc. are valid, reliable, and correctly

presented Measures exist for all variables

Variables - Independent and Dependent Variables (subheading)

Operationalized variables are identified and discussed

26 Each variable described based on type (nominal, continuous etc.) and

role in the analysis (IV/DV) Statistical Analysis There is a correspondence between the research questions-measuresvariables-analysis

Multivariate statistics was performed unless the study was a

randomized double blind clinical trial for which equivalence of study groups is clearly demonstrated. Multivariate analysis is appropriate and specific for each research question and for type of DV and IV. General

Past tense is used (Only use this heading if necessary)
