1. Dr. Green note. This starter slide deck generally follows the sequence of slides the department uses. Over time, some requirements tend to be added, this started PowerPoint was current as of the Summer 2019 semester. Delete this slide from your concept proposal slide deck

2. Title Slide

3. Introduction
Review the PowerPoint aesthetics guide which explains the format
Use sentence case for bullets
No periods

4. Introduction

5. Background Only Information related to your problem
Generally a large to small “argument”
Should lead to a need for your particular study expressed in the problem statement
Often contains multiple slides (pages in word)

6. Background

7. Statement of the Problem

8. Purpose of the Study
Ensure that the purpose of your study is to address the statement of the problem

9. Purpose of the Study

10. Independent Variables
Color Code and Capitalize your variables from here forward
A color for independent variables
A color for dependent variables
A color for control variables
Capitalize variable names throughout

18. Research Questions

19. Research Questions – Regression
Is there a relationship between (primary independent variable(s)) and dependent variable controlling for control variables.

20. Research Questions – ANCOVA
Is there a difference in the dependent variable as a result of categorical variables controlling for continuous variables.

29. Research Design

30. Research Design (Multiple Regression)
Descriptive statistics for all independent and dependent variables
Correlations
Multiple Regression
Beta weights (β)
Variance explained (R2 and ΔR2)
Partial Correlation (rp)
t test (if dichotomous variable(s) were significant)
ANOVA (if variable(s) with three or more groups, were significant)
(Include which post hoc test) to find differences between means
Level of Significance (p < (what level))

31. Research Design (Blocks)
Statistical Analysis
Multiple Regression
Variation contributed by each independent variable
Block 1 – Stepwise Method
Variable Name (Continuous Variable)
Variable Name (Dichotomous Variable)
Block 2 – Enter Method
Variable Name (Dummy Variables)

32. Research Design (Blocks)
Block 3 – Enter Method
Variable Name (Dummy Variables)
Block 4 – Enter Method
Block 5 – Stepwise Method
Leadership Scores
Variable Name

33. Research Design (ANCOVA)
Descriptive statistics for all independent and dependent variables
Correlations
Main Effects
F score
Between and within degrees of freedom
Significance level
Additional t tests or ANOVA with post hoc test when needed
Interaction Effects
Interaction plots for significant interaction effects
Covariates
For statistically significant covariates
Partial correlation, holding constant the impact of all other significant main effects
Level of Significance (p < (what level))

34. Ethical Considerations
• Voluntary • No Risk • Anonymous • No cost • Signed informed consent by participant • IRB approved by Our Lady of the Lake University • Authorization to conduct study

35. Null Hypothesis

36. Research Questions – Regression
There is no relationship between (primary independent variable) and dependent variable controlling for control variables.

37. Null Hypothesis – ANCOVA
There is no difference in the dependent variable as a result of categorical variables controlling for continuous variables.
