  7. Final Paper Headings • Title Page • Abstract • Literature review • Methodology • Results and Conclusions • Bibliography

  8. 1st write frequencies • Thirty four males and fifty seven females responded to the Survey. Thirteen freshman, twenty nine sophomores….

  9. 2nd – Write Significancefor independent variables Sex – T-Test Class – ANOVA Relationship Type – ANOVA Other variables?

  10. 2nd – Write Significancefor independent variables Males reported higher use of the internet when communicating with professors (m=4.75, p=.05, df=120). In addition, females reported more reluctance to communicate face-to-face when dealing with a difficult topic (m=3.65, p=.023, df=119).

  11. Report 3 things ALWAYS • Means (m=4.75) • Significance (p=.05) • Degrees of Freedom (df=120) Represented by ( N-1) the number of values minus one. “df” is closely linked to sample size and the number of groups being represented.

  12. 2nd – Write Significancefor independent variables Males reported higher use of the internet when communicating with professors (m=4.75, p=.05, df=120). In addition, females reported more reluctance to communicate face-to-face when dealing with a difficult topic (m=3.65, p=.023, df=119).
