In this assignment, review analyze the following article:
Hsu, H. C., Chang, W. C., Chong, Y. S., & An, J. S. (2016). Happiness and social determinants across age cohorts in Taiwan. Journal of health psychology, 21(9), 1828-1839.
Please demonstrate the basics of statistical analyses.
Address the following in a written report:
Describe the research question studied in the article.
What are the hypothesis for the study? If the researchers have not stated hypotheses, what will be your hypothesis for the study?
List and describe the variables of the study (e.g., independent and dependent variables). How were the variables measured? (nominal, interval, ratio, ordinal)
Discuss the sampling method, sample characteristics, and measures used.
Explain in detail the study design and methodology employed.
Review Tables and Figures carefully.
What do the descriptive statistics (Percentages, Mean, Standard deviation, Correlations) indicate? Looking at the Tables for descriptive statistics, what inferences can you draw related to the variables of the study? For example, if you selected the Hsu et al. (2016) article, was happiness found to be significantly different in the age groups? Looking at the means (Table 1), what conclusions can you make regarding the mood, friends/colleagues social support, social participation, quality of life, and trust?
How was hypothesis testing completed? What statistical analysis was carried out to test the hypotheses? What was the rationale for choosing a particular statistical test? What do the results indicate in terms of hypotheses? For example, if you selected the Hsu et al. (2016) article, look at (Table 2). Provide evidence using statistical findings to indicate if the hypothesis was supported or not supported. Use APA style to describe the results.
If there are any graphs or figures, what are these figures/graphs telling you in terms of variables?
