    PRESENTATION AND

    ANALYSIS OF DATA

    In reporting the results, the


    researcher stays close to the
    statistical findings without drawing
    broader implications or meaning from
    them. Further, this section includes
    summaries of the data rather than the
    raw data (e.g., the actual scores for
    o
    individuals). A results section include
    tables, figures, and detailed o
    explanations about the statistical
    results
    4

    Preparing Data for Analysis


    1. Score the data (Coding)
    2. Select a statistical program (e.g. IBM SPSS
    Statistics).
    3. Input the data
    4. Clean and account for missing data.

    Analyzing Quantitative Data


    1. Describe trends in the data to a single variable
    or question on your instrument.
    2. Compare two or more groups on the independent
    variable in terms of the dependent variable.
    3. Relate two or more variables.
    4. Test hypothesis about the dif ferences in the
    groups or the relationships of variables.
    5
    Stating the Results
    1. Do not state any dif ferences
    were present between groups unless
    a significant p-value is attached.
    2. Do not comment on results.
    3. Select statistics and place them
    in the most reasonable order
    4. Include
    tables, graphs, figures for
    quantitative study
    statistical results of hypotheses
    tested
    possible explanations of unexpected
    results
    Implications of results to existing
    situation
