Step 1: Write Section 1 of the DAA: The Data Analysis Plan

• Name the variables used in this analysis and whether they are categorical or continuous.
• State a research question, null hypothesis, and alternate hypothesis for the analysis of variance (ANOVA).

Step 2: Write Section 2 of the DAA: Testing Assumptions

Test for one of the assumptions of ANOVA – normality.

• Create SPSS output showing the Shapiro-Wilk test of normality. Run the Shapiro-Wilk test on the dependent variable test for the entire sample. Do not split the data up by gender before running the normality test.
• Paste the table in the DAA.
• Interpret the Shapiro-Wilk test and how you determined whether the assumption of normality was met or violated.

Step 3: Write Section 3 of the DAA: Results and Interpretation

• Paste the following SPSS tables into the document:
  • Descriptives table.
  • ANOVA table.
  • Multiple Comparison table.
• Report the means and standard deviation of quiz3 for each group of the section variable.
• Report the results of the F-test and interpret the statistical results against the null hypothesis and state whether it is accepted or rejected.
• Finally, if the F is significant, interpret the post-hoc tests (multiple comparisons).

Step 4: Write Section 4 of the DAA: Statistical Conclusions

• Provide a brief summary of your analysis and the conclusions drawn about this ANOVA.
• Analyze the limitations of the statistical test and/or possible alternative explanations for your results.

Step 5: Write Section 5 of the DAA: Application

Analyze how you might use this statistical approach in your field for study.

• Name an independent variable (the IV should have three or more groups/categories) and dependent variable that would work for such an analysis and why studying it may be important to the field of practice.

Submit your DAA Template as an attached Word document in the assessment area.

Evaluate the following case and respond to the questions at the end. Please make sure to use and incorporate the American Counseling Association Code of Ethics when responding to the questions.

CASE/ QUESTIONS

You were recently hired by a new organization. You are excited because this is your first job since graduating with your MA in forensic psychology. You do not know much about the agency you are working for, but they hired you to complete risk assessments for the courts. You were also told by your supervisor that you “could practice individual and group therapy with the clients.” Your supervisor instructed you to encourage your risk assessment clients to return after the assessment to receive counseling. After a week at the agency, your supervisor was fired for not getting enough clients to enroll in treatment. The organization has not told you who your new supervisor will be because the whole agency is short-staffed. You were advised that you could hire someone privately yourself or you will need to “just be patient.” A couple of days later, your new supervisor is introduced to you and it is one of your former intimate partners.

1. List the ethical issues and explain why they are ethical issues.
2. Refer the ethical issues to supporting codes from the ACA standards.

The next week, you receive a referral for a 16-year-old female that is being referred to a residential program, but an assessment is needed to determine her risk of sexually offending. There was an allegation that she was acting provocatively around her younger siblings and there is concern that she may have already committed a sexual offense against one of the siblings. There are no further details in the referral. You completed your internship in a male correctional facility and observed many offender evaluations and even assisted in a few. As such, you feel confident to be able to handle the assessment. The young female explains that she does not see anything wrong with her behaviors and has had sex in front of her siblings to “teach them about sex.” You remember a case from your internship where a young man was charged with sexual abuse for having sex with his siblings, the details sound familiar.

1. What are all the ethical issues related to competency, supervision and multiple relationships and the specific standards that are being violated or could be violated?
2. What would you do and why (support with standards)?

Your completed assignment should be at least 3 pages in APA format, not including the cover page or references and answer all 4 questions. Also, please review uploaded document.

Your total submission (the discussion of three courses) must be at least 250 words long.

Think about what classes you took and what accomplished in them. The successful Curriculum summary is about showing rather than just telling. This is your time to show off your best work, focusing on particular skills. For example, pick an assignment (project ) where you did a particularly strong job. Fully describe your work. Prove that you can do what you say you can do. This involves making the important distinction AWAY from just a list of your courses and what you did in them—to who you are as a professional and a creative problem solver.
