and‐effect relationship

Lecture 2 – Monday 5 September
Learning objectives
- Refresh your basic knowledge and skills that you will need throughout the research
methods courses
- Learn how to prepare data for analysis
- Perform basic analyses techniques that you will need when conducting any type of
research
o Learn to use the “When to use which test”
Basic data analysis
1. Screen dataset: Investigate quality of data - Errors, missing values, inconsistencies
, 2. Explore and analyze the data*: add explanation
a. Describe and summarize data: A complete run-down analysis of all the
variables in your dataset one-at-a-time (univariate statistics)
b. Inferential analysis: Learning about “the world” (univariate statistics) -
Inferential statistics allow you to test a hypothesis or assess whether your data
is generalizable to the broader population.
c. Differential analysis: Compare parameters across groups. For instance: Do
women on average like beer as much as men? Are branded beers on average
liked as much as unbranded beers? (bivariate statistics)
d. Associative analysis: a process of searching for hidden association or pattern
in a large dataset. (bivariate statistics).
Univariate statistics summarizes only one variable at a time.
Bivariate statistics compares two variables
Multivariate statistics compares more than two variables.
Taste evaluations of beer brands
- A blind test, does the rating of the beer depend on whether you know which brand the
beer is?
Dataset: Taste evaluations (Beer.sav)
- Gender (female/male) - nominal
- Age (open ended question) - ratio
- Household Size (open ended question) - ratio
- Region (A’dam, R’dam, Utrecht/West/North/East/South) - nominal
- Social Class (A/BB/BO/C, D) – ordinal (should be revers coded to lowest – highest)
- Unbranded evaluation of beer A & B (10-point scale, 1 = poor; 10 = excellent) -
interval
- Branded evaluation of beer A & B (10-point scale, 1 = poor; 10 = excellent) - interval
Screening the dataset
Step 1: Check for missing data
- In long surveys, participants accidentally or deliberately miss out questions
- Sometimes, missing data is part of the research design: Responses other than original
scale (e.g., ‘don’t know’, ‘not applicable’ )
- With conditions; if you are in condition 1, the questions for condition 2 is missing.
