Rationale:
This assignment was designed to allow the student to apply the steps of research methods and to write a report of their findings. Each step in the paper was conducted by myself as part of a group. The data given in the final draft are the numbers and figures determined by applying the appropriate data analysis in the SPSS research software program. Prior to PSYSC 284, I had little to no understanding of research in psychology and did not feel that it applied to me and my goals in any sense. After completing this course I have found that research methods has an important role to not only psychology, but to any occupation.
The provided document is the final draft of a paper that was completed over the course of the semester. Working with Dr. John Wallace to edit each draft to provide the most informative and accurate final draft further increased my understanding of this topic. While this topic was complex and often times frustrating to comprehend I am very glad that Ball State University requires this course. Without it I wouldn't have decided to go into the marketing field.
