You have had plenty of practice with data analysis in the Discussions and hopefully you have received helpful
and encouraging feedback from your colleagues. Now, for the last time in the course, it is time once again to put
all of that good practice to use and answer a social research question using categorical statistical tools. As you
begin the Assignment, be sure and pay close attention to the assumptions of the test. Specifically, make sure
the variables are categorical level variables.
Review Chapters 10 and 11 of the Frankfort-Nachmias & Leon-Guerrero course text and the media program
found in this week’s Learning Resources related to bivariate categorical tests.
Using the SPSS software, open the Afrobarometer dataset found in this week’s Learning Resources.
Next, review the Chi Square Scenarios found in this week’s Learning Resources and consider each research
scenario for this Assignment.
Based on the dataset you chose and for each research scenario provided, using the SPSS software, choose a
categorical data analysis and run a sample test.
Once you perform your categorical data analysis, review Chapter 11 of the Wagner text to understand how to
copy and paste your output into your Word document.
Write a 1- to 2-paragraph analysis of your categorical data results for each research scenario. In your analysis,
display the data for the output. Based on your results, provide an explanation of what the implications of social
change might be.
