What were the dispersion results for the Relational Care subscale of the Caring

Question

What were the dispersion results for the Relational Care subscale of the Caring Practices in Table 2? What do these results indicate? Question 6 options:

a) Range = 2.44 – 5.00 or 5.00 – 2.44 = 2.56 and SD = 0.57. These dispersion results are the smallest of the three subscales and indicate that Relational care had the least variance of scores.

b) Range = 1.00 – 5.00 or 5.00 – 1.00 = 4.00 and SD = 1.01. These dispersion results are the largest of the three subscales and indicate that Relational care had the greatest variance of scores.

c) Range = 1.00 – 5.00 or 5.00 – 1.00 = 4.00 and SD = 1.01. These dispersion results are the smallest of the three subscales and indicate that Relational care had the least variance of scores.

Explanation / Answer

For the answer, refer to the table:

Under Caring Practices Scale , look to the "Relational care" subscale

We have the Mean = 2.90
SD = 1.01
Observed Range = 1.00 to 5.00, or range = 5.00-1.00 =4.00

b. and c. have this answer. SD of 1.01 is the highest amongst the variances in scores. So, we choose the option b. which says that disperson results are the largest of the three subscales and indicate that Relational care had the greatest variance of scores

Correct answer is b.
