Science Bootcamp 2 Instructions Download the dataset from Canvas and upload it to Jamovi. Then, read through the new four measures on the canvas page. Finally, watch the instructional video that will walk you through all the calculations necessary to complete the assignment. ASSIGNMENT TIP: During the correlation section, remember to observe the correlation coefficients . Ignore the p-values and degrees of freedom. We’ll talk about these in a future week. When you answer the questions below, could you please bold and italicize your answers so it’s easier for me to read and grade. Question 1 (2 points) You’ve already described the SLS, SHS, YIPS, and YEPS. Please now review these additional four measures that are added to your dataset: AHS, SGS, BAI, and BDI. Once you’ve looked through each rating form, answer these following questions for each measure listed below: A.) What does the acronym stand for, and what do you think total scores on the questionnaire represent? (Example: The SSRS is the Subjective Stress Response Scale, and scores represent how stressed a person was in the last two weeks.) B.) What scaling does the rating form utilize, and what do each of the number choices represent? (Example: People select a number from 1—5 with 1 = never and 5 = always.) C.) How should the total score be interpreted? (Example: Higher total scores on the SSRS represent greater amounts of stress the last two weeks whereas lower scores on the SSRS indicate less amounts of stress.) ^Answer those questions for each of these four measures: AHS: SGS: BAI: BDI:

Question 2 (5 points) The BAI is a measure that is used, in part, to determine if an adult qualifies for an anxiety disorder. Let’s examine some distributions and answer the following questions. A.) What percentage of college students present “at risk” for an anxiety disorder? (Hint, look at the cumulative percentage of students who scored 16 or lower. Subtract that number from 100.) B.) Please examine the distributions of BAI scores for men compared to women (this is done through generating a “density plot” that is split across sex in the descriptive statistics.) How would you compare the distribution of anxiety in women compared to men? What similarities do you notice? What differences do you notice? C.) Please examine the distributions of BAI scores for those who reported “yes, I have a diagnosis” compared to those who reported “no, I do not have a diagnosis.” Remembering that 16 is the “cut off” for being at risk for an anxiety disorder, what stands out to you about these distributions? For the rest of the assignment, please generate a Pearson’s r correlation table with the SHS, SLS, YIPS, YEPS, AHS, SGS, BAI, and BDI measures. Question 3 (3 points) A.) Report the correlation between the BDI and the SHS. B.) Please indicate if this correlation is positive or negative, and is it a weak, moderate, or strong relationship? C.) What is this correlation coefficient describing about depression and happiness? Question 4 (3 points) A.) Which two measures share the strongest correlation? B.) What is the correlation coefficient they share? C.) What is this correlation coefficient describing about these two measures? Question 5 (3 points) A.) Which two measures share the weakest correlation? B.) What is the correlation coefficient they share? C.) What is this correlation coefficient describing about these two measures?
