Number each step in your word document. -5 for not doing so. This is due by 2/26 11:59pm. I will allow for feedback submissions until 2/22 at 11:59pm. You must submit through the assignment portal and email me by the deadline to tell me you submitted. As with the last assignment, please have the same member submit both. Save your assignment by your last names (-5 for not doing so).
- In a Word document, list the research question you used in Assignment 2. You may alter it if you were told there were errors or if it needed to be more specific (5 points).
- Take a screenshot (not a picture) of both the data view and variable view of cases you have entered (show all) into SPSS from Assignment 2. This should only be two screen shots. Now paste the screen shots under Number 1 above (15 points for this step). If you were told you had errors in Assignment 2, and some people did, fix them before getting to this step or you will lose all 15 points. If you had no errors, just cut and paste. This must be corrected if you did not have the correct variables, or the below will be incorrect.
- Run one independent sample t-test on the appropriate variables. Cut and paste that t-test table under the above screen shots. Interpret the results – the relationship between the variables you chose in a minimum of 3 sentences. Tell me what this means about your variables you analyzed in this step (20 points for this step).
- Run an ANOVA on the appropriate variables. Cut and paste the ANOVA table under the above. Interpret the results – the relationship between the variables in a minimum of 3 sentences. Tell me what this means about your variables you analyzed in this step (20 points for this step).
- Explain the p value (significance) and what it means about the relationship for both tests above. Use a minimum of 2 sentences per p value, you should have 4 sentences total(15 points).
- Run a partial correlation with three variables, one of them is your moderating variable. Cut and paste the tables under the above p value question. Interpret your results in a minimum of three sentences. (20 points)

1. Can childhood trauma increase the opportunity to commit crime?
2. I hypothesize that early trauma increases the likelihood of committing a crime.
3. Childhood trauma can affect a child in a variety of ways, including emotionally,
psychologically, and even physically. Many rapists have been identified as having been
exploited as children; could this have influenced their decision to become a rapist?
According to research, juvenile justice systems have greater rates of child abuse or
neglect than the general community. Growing up with trauma is difficult for a child, they
are still in the early phases of growth and are learning this. That is their normal, and it is
all they've seen and known. Additional research has revealed that about 90% of juvenile
offenders in the United States alone have suffered some form of trauma as a child or in
their early adolescent years. Because of the activity they have witnessed that no one has
intervened in, they are more likely to commit crime later in life. The independent variable
is something that is altered for a different outcome to be the dependent variable when it is
defined. As a result, when measuring the independent variable, it is based on a child who
has never experienced trauma. The dependent variable is the outcome; that child's
outcome will differ from another child who has experienced trauma growing up, such as
abuse or neglect. (Word Count: 210)

5. Our goal is to reach out to volunteers who can assimilate to the purpose of our survey and
feel safe answering it. For this very reason, our best category of volunteers would be
teenagers, especially, high school students. High school students have slightly more
advanced reading and comprehension skills than elementary students; one could even say
that they have the same capacity as an adult. These questionnaires are similar to the
surveys that are given to adults; therefore, they could also serve to young adults in
college. If we reached out to college students to fill out our survey, we would be
interested in freshmen students since they are just beginning their journey in college.
Some adolescents still go through childhood trauma or childhood abuse; for that reason,
our survey would fit with the experience of these students. In conclusion, we can
determine how many individuals have been affected by trauma since childhood, how they
have been affected, and how likely they are to commit a crime in the future due to their
past experiences. (Word count: 175)
