Whether in a scholarly or practitioner setting, good research and data analysis should have the benefit of peer feedback. For this Discussion, you will post your response to the hypothesis test, along with the results. Be sure and remember that the goal is to obtain constructive feedback to improve the research and its interpretation, so please view this as an opportunity to learn from one another.

To prepare for this Discussion:

  • Review this week’s Learning Resources and media program related to regression and correlation.
  • Review Magnusson’s web blog found in the Learning Resources to further your visualization and understanding of correlations between two variables.
  • Construct a research question using the General Social Survey dataset, which can be answered by a Pearson correlation and bivariate regression.
