Project 3: Comparing Global Values and Attitudes

SPSS SUPPLEMENT

Project 3 requires you to select two variables and perform an independent-sample hypothesis test using SPSS. However, access to SPSS may be limited during this time. Therefore, I have performed four different sets of analyses you may use in your report. Below, I include a print-out of the descriptive statistics and analyses for three (3) different scenarios (i.e., this is what you would see in SPSS if you analyzed the data yourself). You are responsible for all other parts of the project. Please email us at the address above if you have any questions or if you would like another option. OPTION 1: Differences in views of competition (v99) between Japan and the United States (JAPvUS) (page 2) OPTION 2: Differences in perception of justification for man beating wife (v208) between Sweden and the United States (SWEvUS) (page 3) OPTION 3: Differences in perception of the benefits of technology (v192) between China and the United States (CHIvUS) (page 4)
