Is there a main effect of gender?

Part A. Factorial ANOVA
The Data Week 4a.sav file contains a dataset of a researcher interested in finding the best way to train employees on an organization’s new anti-bullying policies. In particular, she thinks that female employees do better in classroom lecture environments while male employees learn more with a blended learning approach. Through the organization, she has arranged a pilot program in which different training types are implemented prior to an organization-wide workplace bullying knowledge assessment. In the dataset, you will find the following variables:

Participant: Unique Identifier
Gender: Male (M) or Female (F)
Training:
Classroom Lecture (1)
Programmed Instruction (2)
Blended Learning (3)
Knowledge_Score – final score on workplace bullying knowledge assessment
Now, complete the following:
Descriptive Data Analysis.
Perform descriptive data analysis on all variables in the Data Week 4a.sav data set. Realizing that you have multiple groups, be sure that your exploratory analysis is broken down by group. When possible, include appropriate graphs to help illustrate the dataset.
Provide a one to two paragraph summarizing results of your descriptive analysis.
Create an APA style table that presents descriptive statistics for the sample.
Include results, charts, and summary in your Word document (lastnamefirstinitialPSY7117-4.doc) under the heading Part A. Factorial ANOVA.

Perform a factorial ANOVA using the “Data Week 4a.sav” data set. Include your output in your Word doc (lastnamefirstinitialPSY7117-4.doc) under the heading Part A. Factorial ANOVA.
Is there a main effect of gender? If so, explain the effect. Use post hoc tests when necessary (or explain why they are not required in this specific case).
Is there a main effect of training type? If so, explain the effect. Use post hoc tests when necessary (or explain why they are not required in this specific case).
Is there an interaction between your two variables? If so, using post hoc tests, describe these differences.
Is there support for the researcher’s hypothesis? Explain your answer.
