Presentation transcript:

The Research Skills exam: The four horsemen of the apocalypse: pestilence, war, famine and the RS1 exam.

The exam format: Two hours and five sections – Section 1: basic concepts Section 2: interpreting SPSS output Section 3: which test? Section 4: pick a test and conclusions Section 5: write a results section

Be strategic: Don’t start at page 1 and work through. Each section carries equal marks. Answer all the easy questions first! Then tackle tricky stuff if there is time left.

Section 5: Write a results section Read the scenario supplied; write a results section; interpret the results appropriately.

“A Mann-Whitney test revealed that combining visualisation techniques and football training did not improve footballers' performance more than football training alone, U (8, 8) = 21.00, p >.05. Footballers in the visualisation plus training condition scored a mean of goals in a season (SD = 4.93), whereas footballers in the training-only condition scored only 9.12 goals (SD = 3.76).”

“There was a strong positive correlation between participants' best scores on a racing game and their average lap time at a race- track, r(6) =.87, p =.005. The higher a participant's racing game score, the longer their lap time. These results run contrary to the original hypothesis. Although the ability to perform well on a computer driving game is a good measure of a person's ability to drive on a real driving track, it is in the opposite direction to what was predicted originally: people who perform well on the game actually perform worse (drive more slowly) on the race track.”
