7
Coding by more than one person
  • Precise instructions should be developed for
    coders
  • Coders, must be trained
  • check for inter-coder reliability

Sorting of the questionnaires
101-200

  • Describing the Sample
  • measures of central tendency and variability. 
  • The appropriate measure of central tendency and
    variability will depend upon the variables level
    of measurement and the shape of the distribution.

14
Right-skewed distribution
Mode Median Mean
  • If Mean gt Median ? Positive or right skewness

  • (long right tail)
  • It arises when the mean is increased by some
    unusually high values

15
Left-skewed distribution
Mean Median Mode
  • If Mean lt Median ? Negative or left skewness
    (long left tail).
  • Negative skewness occurs when the mean is reduced
    by some extremely low values.

16
Inference
  • Developing and Testing a Hypothesis
  • differences in frequency distributions of nominal
    level variables  chi-square
  • associations or correlations between variables, 
    bivariate correlations  
  • differences between groups with respect to the
    distribution of interval/ratio level data. t-tests
