    and Trends (GAT) For each variable, you will need to compose a detailed statistical report, a
    frequency distribution (lesson 2), a graph/chart (lesson 2), a central tendency analysis (lesson 3), and
    a variability analysis (lesson 4). This project emphasizes learning goals and objectives 1, 2, 3, and

    7

    as listed in the syllabus.

    1. the vocabulary and symbols used in social statistics
    2. how to measure variables and test relationships at different levels
    3. the basics of descriptive and inferential statistics
    4. to become critical consumers of statistical information
    5. about global systems and issues and associated dimensions (e.g., historical, political,

    economic, social, cultural, environmental, technological)
    6. to analyze global interrelationships and interdependencies across place and time
    7. to formally report findings from statistical analyses

    PROJECT INSTRUCTIONS

    NOTE: This project is unrelated to project #1.

    Sample: Undergraduates enrolled in Dr. Toothman’s online social science statistics course (n = 94)
    Sampling Procedure: Convenience sample taken online with offer of extra credit.
    Target Population: Undergraduate students enrolled in U.S. colleges.

    You should start this project by reviewing the codebook (APPENDIX A) and selecting the following
    types of variables: One variable measured at the nominal level, one variable measured at the ordinal
    level, and one variable measured at the interval-ratio level. You can determine the level of
    measurement for each variable by examining the “Measurement” column in the codebook or the
    questionnaire. Below, I outline how the report should be organized followed by a description of each
    component.

    Project Organization At-a-Glance:

    • Part 1: Nominal Variable Analysis (1-2 pages)

    • Executive summary (15 points)

    • Frequency table and a graph/chart (5 points)

    • Central tendency report (5 points)

    • Variability report (5 points)

    • Part 2: Ordinal Variable Analysis (1-2 pages)

    • Executive summary (15 points)
    • Frequency table and a graph/chart (5 points)
    • Central tendency report (5 points)
    • Variability report (5 points)

    • Part 3: Interval/Ratio Variable Analysis (1-2 pages)

    • Executive summary (15 points)
    • Frequency table and a graph/chart (5 points)
    • Central tendency report (5 points)
    • Variability report (5 points)

    Component Requirements:

    • Executive summary (1/2 page or 2 full paragraphs). Often in research reports, you’ll read about
    the data and then refer to the tables and charts for a better understanding of the numbers
    discussed. This executive summary is space for you to introduce, describe, analyze and reflect
    on your statistics. Your summary should be close to one-half of a page, or, two full paragraphs.
    Here is what all that jargon means:

    • Introduce: Introductions simply contain the following descriptions: the sample, the target
    population, the variable, its level of measurement, the question used to measure the variable,
    and its response categories (if applicable).

    • Describe: Descriptions might include a summary of the frequencies (e.g., how many people
    responded in each category/level), measures of central tendency, and measures of variability.
    You should specifically refer to your frequency tables and graphs/charts here. HINT: If you’re
    describing a scale (e.g., measured 1-10) you have to tell your audience what the average
    indicates on that scale – don’t just report the value and assume they know what you mean!

    Each of these components

    is described below!

    3

    • Analyze. Analyses include in-depth discussions of smaller bits of information. Consider the
    following here: How and why is one category more popular than another (could be the sample
    or the way it’s measured)? What does the measure of central tendency indicate about your
    sample/population? What about the measure of variability? What are the benefits/drawbacks of
    each of these measures? Can you infer information about any type of population from this
    sample? Why? Why not?

    • Reflect. Reflections allow us to step outside of the parameters of the data and tools we have
    in front of us and think more broadly. This is a space where you can assert ideas about what
    things could be improved, what future tests might reveal, et cetera. This is a great space for
    you to demonstrate the things you’ve learned so far in the class (i.e., lessons 1 through 6).

    • Frequency table and a graph/chart. You will need to reproduce (make your own) frequency table
    that contains the following:

    • A title (e.g., “Table 1: Nominal Variable – Favorite Political Candidate, N=50”).

    • All variable categories, frequencies, percentages, and cumulative percentages.
    o For a review of frequency tables, refer to LESSON 2.
    o For instructions on how to make a frequency table in SPSS, refer to APPENDIX B.
    o You MAY NOT copy and paste this table from SPSS.

    • And you also will need to produce the best type of graph or chart to display the data you’ve
    collected on each variable. Each graph should:

    o Be the most appropriate type of graph for each variable’s level of measurement
    o Contain a title (e.g., “Figure 1: Nominal Variable – Favorite Political Candidate, N=50”)
    o For instructions on how to make a frequency table in SPSS, refer to APPENDIX B.
    o You MAY copy and paste this table from SPSS.

    • Central tendency report. Identify and describe the most appropriate measure of central tendency.
    The selected measure of central tendency should be the most precise or optimal for each variable
    based on level of measurement. This part of your report should contain the following:

    • Three-to-five sentences describing the best-fitting measure of central tendency (e.g., mean,
    median, or mode), what the value you calculated means, and why it’s appropriate for this type
    of variable.

    o For a review of central tendency measures, refer to LESSON 3.
    o For instructions on how to compute central tendency in SPSS, refer to APPENDIX B.

    • Variability report. Identify and describe the most appropriate measure of variability. Select and
    report the most appropriate measure of variability for each of your three variables, if applicable.
    This part of your report should contain the following:

    • Three-to-five sentences describing the best-fitting measure of variability you selected (e.g.,
    IQV, IQR, range, or standard deviation), what the value you calculated means, and why it’s
    appropriate for this type of variable.

    o For a review of variability measures, refer to LESSON 4.
    o For instructions on how to compute variability in SPSS, refer to APPENDIX B.

    PROJECT 2 GRADING RUBRIC

    Executive summary (15 points x3)

    • Exceeds expectations. Summary demonstrates mastery of subject matter and is over two paragraphs in
    length. This part includes statistical language that is specific, clear, and thorough. The variable is described in
    detail, the statistics (e.g., frequency, graph, central tendency, and variability) are correctly explained and
    analyzed, and a reflection is provided that demonstrates deep thinking about measurement, data, survey,
    sample. etc.

    • Meets expectations. Summary demonstrates basic understanding of subject matter and is mostly two
    paragraphs in length. This part will contain some basic statistical language. The variable is described in, the
    statistics (e.g., frequency, graph, central tendency, and variability) are generally explained and analyzed, and a
    reflection is provided. Some of this part may be stilted or superficial.

    • Approaches/below expectations. Summary demonstrates little-to-no understanding of subject matter or is
    mostly under paragraphs in length. The variable may only be mentioned, the statistics may be provided but with
    no explanation, an analysis may only touch on one aspect of the variable, or the reflection is missing or brief.

    Frequency distribution and graph/chart (5 points x3)

    • Exceeds expectations. The frequency distribution and the graph/chart include all required components (e.g.,
    titles, labels, frequencies, percentages). If class-intervals should be used, they have been used appropriately.
    The selected graph is the MOST appropriate for the variable’s level of measurement. Both are informative.
    Polished effort.

    • Meets expectations. The frequency distribution and the graph/chart include most of the required components
    (e.g., titles, labels, frequencies, percentages). The selected graph may not be the most appropriate for the
    variable’s level of measurement. Basic effort.

    • Approaches/below expectations. More than two major required components are missing. Lower effort
    demonstrated.

    Central tendency report (5 points x3)

    • Exceeds expectations. The measure of central tendency is the most precise choice for the variable’s level of
    measurement and correctly described (e.g., what is a mode?). The computed value or category is correct and
    explained (e.g., what does a mode of “2” indicate about our data?). An explanation of why this measure of
    central tendency was chosen over the others is included (3-5 sentences).

    • Meets expectations. The measure of central tendency is not the most precise choice for the variable’s level of
    measurement, but the description is apt (e.g., what is a mode?). The computed value or category is explained
    (e.g., what does a mode of “2” indicate about our data?). An explanation of why this measure of central
    tendency was chosen over the others is included (but it may be more or less correct).

    • Approaches/below expectations. The measure of central tendency is not applicable precise choice and there
    is insufficient discussion about the selection. The computed value is missing, incorrect, or underexplained.

    Variability report (5 points x3)

    • Exceeds expectations. The measure of variability is the most precise choice for the variable’s level of
    measurement and correctly described (e.g., what is a standard deviation?). The computed value or category is
    correct and explained (e.g., what does a standard deviation of “2” indicate about our data?). An explanation of
    why this measure of variability was chosen over the others is included (3-5 sentences).

    • Meets expectations. The measure of variability is not the most precise choice for the variable’s level of
    measurement, but the description is apt (e.g., what is a standard deviation?). The computed value or category
    is explained (e.g., what does a standard deviation of “2” indicate about our data?). An explanation of why this
    measure of variability was chosen over the others is included (but it may be more or less correct).

    • Approaches/below expectations. The measure of variability is not applicable precise choice and there is
    insufficient discussion about the selection. The computed value is missing, incorrect, or underexplained.

    Presentation quality (10 points)

    • Check-plus. Report is polished, organized, adheres to standard written English, and provides all applicable
    external resources. There are paragraphs with spaces, appropriate numbering, and subheadings. Contains
    minimal spelling and grammatical errors. A person who is not in this class could pick up this report, read it, and
    understand it.

    • Check. Report is clear, adheres to standard written English, and provides all applicable external resources.
    There are paragraphs with spaces, appropriate numbering, and subheadings. There may be some formatting
    errors that make the project difficult to read. Minimal spelling and grammatical errors.

    • Check-Minus. Presentation is unclear. There are formatting errors that make the project difficult to read.
    Contains more than three spelling and major grammatical errors.

    PROJECT 2 EXAMPLE (partial)

    The following example is only one-third (1/3) of what is required for a full project – it shows you how
    PART 3 might look. Remember, your full project will contain THREE parts (representing three
    different variables). IMPORTANT: Borrowing or copying the language of my example may result
    in a “0” for that section or for the entire report. Be careful as my example draws from entirely
    different data.

    ———————————————————————————————————————————-

    PART THREE: An interval-ratio variable analysis of education in the U.S.

    Executive Summary

    Education is a crucial part of social participation – it can impact our family trajectory, the types of jobs we can
    get, our health, and so much more. Below I present data on the highest level of education (measured in years)
    for US residents. My data is drawn from a representative sample of US residents (n=1972). The frequency
    table indicates that the most frequently reported year of completion of school is 12 years (which suggests high
    school completion). Looking at the chart, it also appears as though more people have completed more than

    12

    years of school than fewer than 12 years of school. Here is a sentence describing the central tendency of my
    data, and it looks like my data is skewed, so perhaps there is another measure to consider. This is a sentence
    about the variability of my data, which says something about US resident education, but also about the
    measure of central tendency. I that believe years of education completed may be related to parent’s
    socioeconomic status (the higher the status may have resulted in more schooling completed by respondent)
    and parental education level (i.e., the more schooling completed by parent may have resulted in more
    schooling completed by respondent). My sample is a random sample of over 1000 US citizens and my results
    likely reflect the education levels of the US population; however, it may not reflect the global population which
    may be different due to types of education and different norms and values across countries. HINT: Remember
    that your sample is drawn from Dr. Toothman’s statistics class. Some portions of this report are more general

    to prevent copying – remember, I’m looking for detail and statistical literacy.

    APPENDIX A: VARIABLE CODEBOOK

    A codebook contains all possible variables in a given data set. Below is a list containing a subset of
    questions (i.e., variables) appearing in the most recent wave of the Global Attitudes Survey that I
    have given to your class. To read more about the GAT, go to:
    https://www.pewresearch.org/methods/interactives/international-methodology/all-survey/all-
    country/all-year.

    For this project, you’re supposed to select one variable measured at the nominal level, one at an
    ordinal level, and a variable measured at an interval/ratio level. In order to determine how a variable
    is measured, examine the response categories! If you want to check your variable selection, send an
    email to us!

    (a17_1) Science and technology are making our lives healthier, easier, and more
    comfortable.

    (a17_2) Because of science and technology, there will be more opportunities for the next
    generation.

    (a17_3) We depend too much on science and not enough on faith.

    (a17_4) One of the bad effects of science is that it breaks down people’s ideas of right and
    wrong.

    (a17_5) It is not important for me to know about science in my daily life.

    1. Opening Your Data

    After SPSS is installed on your computer, open the program.

    Next, open the examplename.sav file (this file is posted available on Canvas). SPSS should open a

    dialogue that shows your “Recent Files” and the option to “Open another file….” If you have recently

    opened up the data set, you can just click on it and then say OK. If not, click “Open another file…”,

    find the file, and then click “Open.”

    Once the file is open, you should be able to see all of your data. This is called the “Data Editor” view.

    I’ve included a screenshot for what this should look like, using a different data set.

    SPSS will also open up another window, called the “Output Viewer.” When you run your analyses,

    they will appear here.

    The data in this example is

    labeled GSSforStats.sav –

    however your data could

    have a different name!!!

    13

    2. How to view Variables by ‘Variable Name’ rather than ‘Variable Label’

    To make your life easier, I strongly recommend setting up SPSS to show you Variable Names rather

    than Variable Labels. When conducting your analyses, it will be much easier to find your variables

    this way.

    To do this, first click on “Edit” under the Data Editor viewer. Next, click “Options.”

    SPSS will bring up a new dialogue window. From here, click on the “General” tab at the top, then look

    for the “Variable Lists” box. Click on “Display names.” Then “OK.”

    14

    3. How to make frequency distributions

    To run a frequency distribution, click on “Analyze”, then “Descriptive Statistics”, and then

    “Frequencies….”

    Next, find the variable you want to analyze. It will show the ‘variable name’ in your list. For this

    example, I will analyze the variable CREGION. Click on the variable name you would like to analyze

    (it will highlight the variable), and then click on the → arrow.

    Notice what happens after you click the → arrow:

    Then click “OK” to run the frequency distribution.

    15

    Helpful tip: you can run more than one frequency distribution if you would like, just select more

    variables. For simplicity, and until you are comfortable, I recommend doing one at a time.

    The frequency distribution will appear in the Output Viewer window.

    Look at all that has been presented. We can see that N=866. We can also see how many cases were

    in the Northeast, Midwest, South, and West. We can also see the percent of cases and the

    cumulative percent. “Valid Percent” should be the same as “Percent” in your data set, since I have

    manually removed all missing cases (that’s also why ‘Missing’ will equal zero in the GSS data set I

    have given you – in real life, we have to figure out what to do with missing cases, but that is beyond

    the scope of this course).

    16

    4. How to find measures of central tendency and variability

    SPSS will also run all of the measures of central tendency and variation you need. However, that

    does not mean that a particular test is the ‘right’ one. It is your job to make sure you use the correct

    measure of central tendency and measure of variation, depending on the type of variable you have.

    SPSS will typically run things because you tell it to, even if it is not a statistically sound test.

    4a. Mean, Standard Deviation, Variance, Range

    To have SPSS tell you the mean value of a variable, go to the Data Editor view. Then, click on

    “Analyze”, “Descriptive Statistics”, then “Descriptives….”

    Then, SPSS will bring up the “Descriptives” dialogue. Find the variable you want to analyze, then click

    the → arrow to bring it to the ‘Variables’ column. In this case, I will be finding the mean of then

    S2PCTRD variable.

    Before analyzing the data, click on “Options.” This will allow you to also find out the standard

    deviation, variance, and range.

    17

    SPSS will bring up a new dialogue. Make sure to check the boxes of everything you would like to

    know. Once you are finished, click “Continue.”

    SPSS will bring up the “Descriptives” dialogue from a moment ago. Click “OK” to finish.

    The output will appear in the Output Viewer. Notice that we see the N (560), range = 100, minimum

    (which is the smallest score) = 0, maximum (which is the greatest score) = 100, the mean = 64.01,

    the standard deviation (labeled as Std. Deviation) = 23.476, and the variance = 551.111.

    18

    4b. Median and Mode

    To find the median and the mode, we have to use “Frequencies” just like we had to do to find the

    frequency distribution. I am going to use the S2PCTRD variable here. Then, click on “Statistics….”

    SPSS will bring up a new dialogue window. Look at all the options! If you want to know the Median

    and Mode, click on those boxes. You can also use this dialogue to find out quartiles, percentiles,

    standard deviation, variance, range, minimum, maximum, and the mean. Once you’re done, click

    “Continue.” Then, click “OK”

    The median and mode will appear in the Output Viewer, in the “Statistics” box. The median is 69 and

    the mode is 80.

    19

    4c. Interquartile Range

    To find the interquartile range, we go back to the Data Editor window, click on “Analyze”, then

    “Descriptive Statistics”, and finally, “Explore….”

    Select the variable you want to use here. I will be using the variable S2SCORES (this variable has 3

    categories). Then, make sure under “Display” you have either “Both” or “Statistics” selected. Next,

    click OK.

    20

    Go back to the Output viewer. In a list of statistics, the interquartile range will be reported. In this

    case, the IQR is 1.

    5. Data Visualizations

    SPSS will also create professional graphics for you, using your own data. The first steps to create

    graphs in SPSS are the same, regardless of whether you are trying to create a bar chart, pie chart, or

    a histogram.

    5a. Bar Chart

    First, return to the Data Editor, click on “Graphs”, then “Legacy Dialogs”, and then “Bar….”

    SPSS will bring up the following window. For our purposes, “Simple” is fine. Tell SPSS that you want

    the data in chart to be “Summaries for groups of cases” and then click “Define.”

    21

    Next, find the variable that you want to use to create a bar chart. I will use CREGION. Click on the →

    arrow for “Category Axis”, after selecting your variable. Make sure you also have “N of Cases”

    selected for “Bars Represent.”

    Next, we need to create Titles for our bar chart. Click on “Titles.” SPSS will bring up the following

    dialogue. Since I am creating a bar chart for census regions, I’m going to name the chart “Census

    Regions.” Click “Continue” when you are finished. This will return you back to the Simple Bar

    dialogue. Click “OK” to create your bar chart.

    22

    SPSS will display you bar chart in the Output viewer.

    5b. Pie Charts

    To create a pie chart, first click on “Graphs”, then “Legacy Dialogs” and finally, “Pie…” SPSS will

    bring up the following dialogue. Select “Summaries for groups of cases” and then “Define.”

    23

    For the most part, the steps are identical to creating a bar chart. Select the variable you want to

    create a pie chart for, then click the → arrow below “Define Slices by:.” Create a title (as you did with

    a bar chart) and then click “OK.” Your pie chart will appear in the Output Viewer.

    5c. Line Graphs

    To create a line graph, first click “Graphs”, then “Legacy Dialogs” and finally “Line….” SPSS will bring

    up the following dialogue. For our purposes, a “simple” line graph is sufficient. Make sure “summaries

    for groups of cases” is selected.

    24

    SPSS will bring up a familiar dialogue. For this, select the variable you want to create a line graph for,

    then click the → arrow next to “Category Axis.” In this example, I am going to use the S2PCTRD

    variable from earlier. Make sure you create a “Title”, and then when you are finished, click OK.

    SPSS will create your line graph and it will appear in the Output Viewer.

    5d. Histograms

    To create a histogram, from the Data Editor window, click on “Graphs”, then “Legacy Dialogs” and

    finally “Histogram….” SPSS will bring up the following dialogue. Select the variable you want to use to

    create your histogram, and click the arrow next to “Variable.” Click “Title” to create a title for your

    histogram. When you are finished, click OK.

    25

    SPSS will create your histogram in the Output Viewer window.
