PSY 210 Module 4 Assignment 2 Analyzing with Anova GCU
Permalink: https://essayscrest.com/psy-210-module-4…g-with-anova-gcu/
Submit your answers to the following questions using the ANOVA source table below. The table depicts a two-way ANOVA in which gender has two groups (male and female), marital status has three groups (married, single never married, divorced), and the means refer to happiness scores (n = 100):
1.What is/are the independent variable(s)? What is/are the dependent variable(s)?
2.What would be an appropriate null hypothesis? Alternate hypothesis?
3.What are the degrees of freedom for 1) gender, 2) marital status, 3) interaction between gender and marital status, and 4) error or within variance?
4.Calculate the mean square for 1) gender, 2) marital status, 3) interaction between gender and marital status, and 4) error or within variance.
5.Calculate the F ratio for 1) gender, 2) marital status, and 3) interaction between gender and marital status.
6.Identify the critical Fs at alpha = .05 for 1) gender, 2) marital status, and 3) interaction between gender and marital status.
7.If alpha is set at .05, what conclusions can you make?

Please Note: The table that you see in the assignment has been slightly modified from the one presented in the module notes since it is beyond the scope of this unit to have students calculate p values. Instead you are asked to calculate the F value and compare it to the critical F value to determine whether the test is significant or not.
I have chosen to write first about the psychodynamic theories. I am in such aw over how Sigmund Freud even got his theories in the first place! The psychodynamic theories all have Mr. Freud to thank for all of its original ideas! The most interesting part of the psychodynamic theory, for me, was the part where it goes onto talk about the Oedipus and Electra complexes! I had never thought about it till now, but it is a good theory. I also think it would be really hard to prove as a theory! His theory on the psychosexual development is really “out there” to me! I do not like the idea of an infant controlling their sexual gratification and their nourishment by sucking. It just seems like a natural process to me. Maybe even a natural instinct to an infant! Maybe it is something that is stored in our sub-consciences as a natural instinct?
When it talks about the “human iceberg”, I feel more that this is a good theory and would love to talk more into the superego, ego, and id. It is really cool to see that we only use a part of our brain on a conscience level. There are so many theories out there that let us know that we only use a part of our brains, and it must of all originated from Sigmund Freud’s theories! Carl Jung theorized that we not only have a personal unconscious that hold all our repressed memories and such, but also a collective unconscious that contains primitive images that reflect the history of our species!
The second theory I would like to compare and contrast is the Trait theories! Psychologist Hans J. Eysenck came out with the Five Factor model. I really like the whole idea of our stableness and our unstableness being either or. Meaning; I like how it breaks down into groups of; introverted-stable/unstable, extroverted-stable-unstable. Cross-cultural research has found that these five factors appear to emerge in studies of personalities of many peoples, including Americans, Germans, Israelis, Portuguese, Chinese, Koreans, and Japanese (McCrae & Costa, 1997). It is a common factor that we all seem to be included in! Not all researchers accept the Big Five model. Some believe that reducing human personality to a mere five dimensions fails to capture the fullness and richness of human personality or to account for differences in how individuals behave in specific environmental contexts (Epstein, 1996; Paunonen et al., 1998). I myself am a believer in the Big Five model, and think that it might find what divides as culturally. I think it might be a better way to understanding the human diversity!
The Trait theory is mainly descriptive and it is most of the time assumed that it is all your hereditary genes that deal with the developments of specific personality traits. Your genetic factors can make you the way you are, too! Your genes only help you to a large extent! I like all the different ideas that came from this theory, and I strongly agree with all the ones that were available for me to read. So I cannot really contrast the differences in this one!
