relationship betw height and physical aggression scores.
Experimental Hypothesis - There will be a significant relationship between a participant’s height and their physical aggression score (two tailed, non-directional)

Hypothesis
2t Experimental Hypothesis - significant relationship betw height and physical agg score
1t significant +ve correlation between height and physical agg score. If height is higher, the physical agg score higher.
Null Hypo- no relationship betw ppts height and physical ag score
Procedure research method and ppt
correlational study= allows study strength of relationship betw 2 co-variables eg height and aggression
when these v can’t be manipulated experimentally for ethical and practical reasons.
opportunity sampling classmates in Psych= reasonably convenient and quick.
16-18 years representative of target popu than volunteer samp
Procedure
invited
consent form to read, sign to confirm they wish to take part and were given the opp to ask 1
Buss Perry aggression questionnaire+ instructed to measure their height
debriefed and the purpose of the correlation was explained.
thanked ppt and allowed to leave.
Procedure measurements
written consent before study started, need to answer q agg levels.
Data= confidential each participant a number rather names.
fully debriefed at the end and reminded of right to withdraw data.
reassured their physical agg score was not abnormal.
Findings
Conclusion
