Question

7. Dr. Gottman thinks relationship satisfaction is related to positive communication. He thinks positive communication can improve relationship satisfaction, but he also acknowledges individuals who are satisfied in their relationships may communicate more positively. He measures relationship satisfaction by adding scores (1 to 5) on 23 items that assess relationship functioning, and he measures positive communication by counting the number of supportive comments during an interaction task a. Identify the variables of interest. b. Determine the scale of measurement for each variable. c. Decide how you are using the variables. To help, consider: i. Are you assessing the difference between groups/conditions/samples? ii. Are you evaluating the association between two variables? d. Select appropriate test or statistic. To help, consider: i. If you are assessing the difference between conditions, how many conditions are involved? ii. If you are evaluating the association between two variables, what are the scales of measurement for the variables? 8. Elliot thinks his new steel production technique will improve the durability of the metal. He has production information from his manufacturing plant for the last 28 years ( 37.53, ? and he wants to compare the new steel (M-40.13, SD 2.34) to see if he is correct. 2.01), a. Identify the variables of interest. b. Determine the scale of measurement for each variable. c. Decide how you are using the variables. To help, consider: i. Are you assessing the difference between groups/conditions/samples? ii. Are you evaluating the association between two variables? d. Select appropriate test or statistic. To help, consider: i. If you are assessing the difference between conditions, how many conditions are involved? ii. If you are evaluating the association between two variables, what are the scales of measurement for the variables?

Explanation / Answer

for first situation:

a)

Variable of intrest:

relationship satisfaction is related to positive communication.

b)

Scale of measurment of each variable:

To measure relationship satisfaction that access reationship functioning and measure positive communication by counting the number of supportive comment during the intraction task.

c)

I will evaluating the association between two variable.

d)

main aim is to measure the relationship satisfaction related to positive communication.to check this we have to take some samples and test first upon co-ordination,situations also. like at normal situation ,at good situation also at bad situation after seen this reasults we will conclude actually relationship satisfaction related to positive communication.

for situation 2)

a)

intrest of variable:

new steel production technique will inprove the durability of metal.

b)

scale of measurment of variable:

1)Quality of material in new and old method.

2) time to make a material

3)safety instruments are also important to improve quality of material.

4)instrument which are used to make a metal in new and old method.

c)

I will accessing the difference between groups condition samples

d)

To measure the difference between condition ,samples,groups we have to check quality of material,time to make a material in old method and new method also the number of different machines used in new method and old method it is also important to test the error. also safety instrument also important to improve quality of metal and then use appropriate test to measure the durability of metal.
