ALL THE QUESTIONS ARE INTERCONNECTED. READ THE WHOLE QUESTION FIRST.
THEN START ANSWERING.

EACH INDIVIDUAL STUDENT IS ASSIGNED A TOPIC IN A TABLE AT THE END OF THIS

DOCUMENT.
For the research topic allocated to you, answer the following:

1. Develop alternate and null hypotheses for the given topic. You must develop directional hypothesis
from your given topic. 5 Points

2. Using at least FIVE journal articles, develop a literature review based on the topic allocated to you.
Maximum word count is 500 words for your literature review. Use sci-hub to download articles if you
cannot access full text of any article. 10 Points

3. What sampling technique would you use for the topic allocated to you and why? Explain your
sampling procedure in detail please. For your topic, among the four types of data, which type of data
collection is the most important and which type is the least important for your research? Justify your
answer. 10 points

4. Assume that you have collected data to test the hypotheses. You do not have to run SPSS software to
answer this question. But, in your script, answer the following:
a) Which SPSS test would you have to run to test your hypothesis? Be specific. Is it
regression, correlation, one-sample t-test, paired sample t-test, independent samples t-
test? Describe the process of running the test in a diagram.

b) After you have chosen your test, assume that you have already run the test. Now, you
can hypothetically assume any SPSS output here. For example, if you have run
correlation test to test your hypothesis, you can hypothetically assume any correlation
output here (+1, +.02, 0, -0.5, -1 or any other feasible figure. Do not run SPSS software.

c) Once you have assumed the result, explain your answer, and tell us whether you accept
or reject the null hypothesis and why. Explain all the relevant values that were taught in
class with regards to your SPSS test and analysis. Remember, explanation for each
component of your test carries separate marks.

The main issue that I will assess here is whether you know all the points or issues that
you have to consider from the output window of SPSS in order to find out whether to
accept/reject the null hypothesis. 10 points
