spss data report

  Answer these questions with using spss data report. the crosstabs i want it done by the spss as well. You are interested in finding out whether a respondent’s ‘attitude/behaviour towards voting’ is influenced by their ‘perception of politicians/political parties’ and also their ‘social class’ (or ‘employments status’). You will need to browse through the given dataset and identify three variables - one representing respondent’s ‘attitude/behavior towards voting’, another representing respondent’s ‘perception of politicians/political parties’ and one that represents their ‘social class’ (or ‘employments status’). Based on this selection of variables, answer all questions I - IV below. Question I 1. 1. Briefly explain the reasons for selecting these three variables. 2. 2. Comment on the level of measurement for the three variables you have selected. * a. Recode these variables appropriately, where needed, so that you can present them effectively in graphs, tables and cross-tabulations required in questions II, III and IV. Explain the decisions you have made whilst doing this. * b. Create suitable descriptive statistics, including one appropriate graph and one table, for each of the three chosen variables. Discuss your outputs. * c. Create, interpret and discuss the suitable numerical statistics for the three selected variables. Question II * 1. Set up and explain hypothesis testing for association between respondent’s ‘attitude/behaviour towards voting’ and their ‘perception of politicians/political parties’. * a. Generate suitable null and alternative hypotheses for association between these two variables. * i. Specify the dependent and independent variables and create a two-way cross-tabulation between the recoded variables. * ii. Generate and interpret the appropriate statistics to test the statistical significance and the strength of the association between the variables. * iii. Is the association between the variables statistically significant? Explain your answer. * iv. Comment on the strength of the association between the variables using appropriate statistics. Question III * 1. Set up and explain hypothesis testing for association between variables representing respondent’s ‘attitude/behaviour towards voting’ and their ‘social class’ (or ‘employments status’). * a. Generate suitable null and alternative hypotheses for the association between these two variables. * i. Specify the dependent and independent variables and create a two-way cross-tabulation between the recoded variables (4 marks) * ii. Generate and interpret the appropriate statistics to test the statistical significance and the strength of the association between the variables. * iii. Is the association between the variables statistically significant? Explain your answer. (2 marks) * iv. Comment on the strength of the association between the variables using appropriate statistics. * v. Compare the strength of associations in questions II and III above, and discuss using appropriate statistics which of the variables - ‘perception of politicians/political parties’ or ‘social class’ (or ‘employments status’) affects respondent’s ‘attitude/behaviour towards voting’ more. Question IV * 1. Create a three way cross-tabulation between variables representing a respondent’s ‘attitude/behaviour towards voting and their ‘perception of politicians/political parties’), with ‘social class’ (or ‘employments status’) as the third variable. * a. Generate suitable null and alternative hypotheses for the association between these variables. * i. Generate and interpret the appropriate statistics to test the statistical significance and the strength of the association between the variables ‘attitude/behaviour towards voting and ‘perception of politicians/political parties’, across respondent’s ‘social class’ (or ‘employments status’). * ii. Which of these associations are statistically significant? Explain your answer. (5 marks) * iii. Does the nature, direction or strength of the association between the variables representing respondent’s attitude/behaviour towards voting and ‘perception of politicians/political parties’ vary across different categories of the third variable - respondent’s ‘social class’ (or ‘employments status’). Interpret appropriate statistics and explain your answer.
