Q

Mann Whitney U Test

Procedure

A
  1. Rank all scores from both groups
  2. Put the ranks back into the original columns and count up total rank for each column (condition)
  3. Find observed value (U) by using the formula provided with the data from the column with the lowest total value
  4. Find critical value using number of participants and 0.05 significance.

Q

Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test

Procedure

A
  1. Find difference between between two scores, could be positive or negative
  2. Rank the differences ignoring the signs
  3. Count how many positives and negatives
  4. Add up to ranks for the least common sign for the observed value
  5. Number of participants who had a difference is the value for N

Q

Chie Squared Test

Procedure

A
  1. Create total for all columns and rows
  2. Calculate expected frequency by multiplying row total by column total and dividing by overall total (for specific cells)
  3. Use the formula provided to calculate the observed value
  4. Calculate degrees of freedom by multiplying number of rows- 1, by number of columns- 1
  5. Find critical value with degrees of freedom and 0.05

Q

Binomial Sign Test

Procedure

A
  1. Add signs to the data columns, + if yes and - if no, ignore if there’s no change
  2. Count up how many of each sign
  3. The smallest number of the two becomes your observed value
  4. Find critical value using the number of participants were there was a difference

Q

Spearmans Rho

Procedure

A
  1. Individually rank the two separate columns, will end up with four instead.
  2. Find d by calculating the difference between the ranks
  3. Find d2 by squaring each difference
  4. Find the total of all the d2 by adding them together
  5. Use formula provided, n is the number of participants
  6. A strong positive correlation is close to +1 and a strong negative is close to -1
  7. Find critical value using n and 0.05

20
Q

Parametric Assumptions

A
  • Populations should be normally distributed
  • Variances of populations should be approx. equal
  • Should have at least interval or ratio data
  • No extreme scores
21
Q

Nominal Data

A

Named data which can be separated into discrete categories that do not overlap, i.e. Male or female

22
Q

Ordinal Data

A

Data that can be placed into some kind of order, but there’s no standardised difference from one score to the next, i.e. score in a race or likert scales

23
Q

Interval Data

A

Comes in a numerical form and there is standardised differences, for example height
