oneWord document for this assignment. You will create this Word documentby cutting and pasting SPSS output into Word. Name the file in thefollowing format: lastnamefirstinitialPSY7107-10.doc (example:smithbPSY7107-10.doc).

Begin by downloading the following SPSS data set:

• Activity 10.sav (found in Books and Resources for this Week)

Thisassignment consists of two parts. In the first part, you will utilizean existing dataset to analyze dataset from repeated-measuresexperimental design. All SPSS output should be pasted into your Worddocument. In the second part, you will be asked to create a dataset for ahypothetical repeated-measures experimental design. Finally, you willanswer questions about your hypothetical dataset.

Part A. SPSS Assignment
The“Activity 10.sav” file contains a dataset of a high school teacherinterested in determining whether his students’ test scores increaseover the course of a 12 week period. In the dataset, you will find thefollowing variables:

Participant: unique identifier Gender: Male (M) or Female (F)

Score_0 – score on the initial course pre-test (first day of class) Score_2 – score at the end of week 2
Score_4 – score at the end of week 4
Score_6 – score at the end of week 6
Score_8 – score at the end of week 8
Score_10 – score at the end of week 10
Score_12 – score at the end of the course (week 12)

Now do the following:

1. Exploratory Data Analysis.
   
   
   1. Performexploratory data analysis on the relevant variables in the dataset.When possible, include appropriate graphs to help illustrate thedataset.
   2. Give a one to two paragraph write up of the data once you have done this.
   3. Create an APA style table that presents descriptive statistics for the sample.
2. RepeatedMeasures ANOVA. Perform a repeated measures ANOVA using the “Activity10.sav” data set. You will use Score_0 through Score_12 as your repeatedmeasure (7 levels), and gender as a fixed factor.
   1. Is the assumption of sphericity violated? How can you tell? What does this mean in the context of interpreting the results?
   2. Isthere a main effect of gender? If so, explain the effect. Use post hoctests when necessary (or explain why they are not required in thisspecific case).
   3. Isthere a main effect time (i.e., an increase in scores from Week 0 toWeek 12)? If so, explain the effect. Use post hoc tests when necessary(or explain why they are not required in this specific case). Examinethe output carefully, and give as much detail as possible in yourfindings.
   4. Writeup the results in APA style and interpret them. Be sure that youdiscuss both main effects and the presence/absence of an interactionbetween the two.

Part B. Applying Analytical Strategies to an Area of Research Interest

1. Briefly restate your research area of interest.
   1. Identifyat least 2 variables for which you would utilize a repeated measuresANOVA in your analysis. Describe the variables and their scale ofmeasurement. Identify whether each factor is fixed or repeating. Whereon the SPSS output would you look to find out if you violated theassumption of sphericity? If the data did violate this assumption, whatwould the impact be on your analysis?

You should now have the following file:
