Module 4 Assignment

In this week, we’ll use the data file experim.sav.

This data set refers to a fictitious study that involves testing the impact of two different types of interventions in helping students cope with their anxiety concerning a forthcoming statistics course. Students were divided into two equal groups and asked to complete a number of scales at three different time spots. First they were given a Fear of Statistics test, Confidence in Coping with Statistics scale, and Depression scale. One group of students (Group 1) was given a number of sessions designed to improve mathematical skills, the second group (Group 2) was subjected to a program designed to build confidence in the ability to cope with statistics. After the program students were again asked to complete the same scales that they completed before the program. They were also followed up three months later. Their performance on a statistics exam was also measured.
