Assignment Scenario
The Kesher Foundation is interested in alternative therapies for veterans. The foundation is providing grants to nonprofits that provide alternative therapeutic interventions to military veterans. Your agency has been providing traditional cognitive therapy but continues to see high levels of stress and anxiety as measured by an internal agency anxiety measurement. The anxiety measurement tool identifies the level of anxiety an individual is experiencing on a scale of 0–10, with 0 being no anxiety and 10 being the highest level of anxiety. The program director has suggested using meditation with the participants to see if it has any impact on the level of anxiety. A trial is conducted with 30 volunteer military veterans. Your agency needs to provide the results of the trial use of these alternative methods to the Kesher Foundation.
Using the Unit 9 Dataset, given in the resources, you will conduct an analysis of regression to determine the extent in which the amount of mediation impacts levels of anxiety with military veterans.
Please also refer to the tutorial provided in this unit's first study as a reference on how to conduct linear regression.
Assignment Instructions
For this assignment, complete the following in a one-page, APA-formatted paper:
1. Refer to the JASP Tutorial Video: Bivariate Regression (given in the Resources). Conduct a bivariate regression with the outcome variable (Y) as self-reported anxiety and the predictor variable (X) as length of meditation.
2. Provide JASP output for the model summary (R-square), the F-test (testing if R-square is significantly different from 0), Coefficients (intercept and unstandardized coefficient), and descriptives (mean and standard deviation for the predictor and outcome).
3. Using the "H1" output, identify the intercept (that is, when X = 0 . . . in other words, mean anxiety level for 0 minutes of meditation) and the unstandardized beta (that is, change in Y as the predictor increases 1 unit . . . increases by 1 minute of meditation).
4. Provide a summary paragraph of the results of the regression analysis and implications for funding the meditation program.
