This week, we’re going to delve deeper into some fundamental concepts in research methods – descriptive statistics, correlation coefficients, effect sizes, and statistical significance. These concepts are the building blocks of data analysis and interpretation, essential tools for both psychologists and sociologists.

Your task will be to apply these concepts to your research topic, which you have already developed a research question for. As you weave these concepts into your discussion, try to consider how they shape your understanding of your research topic, whether you’ve collected your own data or are planning how you would do so.

The discussion post should contain the following sections:

1. Descriptive Statistics: Start with describing your data. What measures of central tendency (mean, median, mode) are you using, or would you use, for your research? Which measures of variability (range, variance, standard deviation) are relevant to your research, and why?

2. Correlation Coefficients: If your study involves more than one variable, discuss the possible relationships between them. How would you use correlation coefficients to measure these relationships? Are you expecting a positive or negative correlation, or none at all, and why?

3. Effect Size: Effect size tells us about the practical significance of our findings. In your study, how will you calculate the effect size? What does a large or small effect size mean in the context of your research topic?

4. Statistical Significance: Lastly, discuss the role of statistical significance in your study. How will you determine if your results are statistically significant? How would you differentiate between statistical significance and practical significance in your research?

Now, it’s time to write! In a post of at least 500 words, elaborate on these questions as they relate to your specific research question. Write in a friendly, engaging style that’s easy for your classmates to read and understand. Imagine you’re writing for a blog or website, rather than a formal academic paper.

After posting, please respond to at least two of your classmates’ posts. In your responses:

• Analyze their approach: Do you agree or disagree with their choices in descriptive statistics, correlation coefficients, effect sizes, and statistical significance? Why or why not?
• Give constructive feedback: Offer suggestions for improvement. How can they refine their approach to better fit their research question? What alternative methods might they consider?

We look forward to your thoughtful discussions!

7.Globalization makes new forms of consumption possible, but the effects of globalization on an individual’s lifestyle vary based on many factors including socioeconomic status. In what ways is globalization experienced differently by people from wealthy countries compared to people in developing countries? How are producers of commodities like clothing or food affected differently by globalization than consumers? Bring into your answer both your textbook reading as well as Bodley’s article “The Price of Progress.”

8.Choose at least 20 items from around your household. The more, the better: clothes, furniture, electronics, books, food items, entertainment, toys, etc. Then record their country of origin.

• Next, divide your list by country and item type (e.g., clothes) and create some simple bar graphs or pie charts presenting your data.
•  Post your data here and discuss:
  What percentage of items are manufactured in your own country?
  Are there any recognizable patterns? Do certain types of goods seem to be made in certain countries? Why do you think this is? Is it possible to truly only “buy American?”
• What “scapes” can you connect these items to?
