Research Scenario #1 (Q1-8: 25 pts content / 11 pts format): A consultant who specializes in political campaigns tests the success of three ads in convincing registered voters to support a candidate. He wants to test two groups of registered voters – those who currently express weak or strong affinity to the registered party. The ads run for 30 seconds and feature issues of the campaign. One ad presents the candidate’s rationale for supporting issues, a second ad berates the opponent of the candidate and encourages people to vote for the candidate, and the third ad contrasts the two candidates’ positions on issues. Registered voters (N = 42) with currently weak or strong ties are randomly

To analyze the data from the political campaign consultant's study, we will follow these steps:

Data Preparation: Load the data into a DataFrame and ensure it is in the correct format for analysis.
Descriptive Statistics: Calculate descriptive statistics for each group and ad type.
Factorial ANOVA: Perform a factorial ANOVA to determine the effect of affinity (weak vs. strong) and ad type (rationale, berate opponent, contrast positions) on voter support.
Post-hoc Tests: If significant interactions are found, conduct post-hoc tests to explore these interactions further.
Visualization: Create visualizations to illustrate the findings.

Let's start by loading the data into a DataFrame.

The data has been successfully loaded into a DataFrame. Here is a preview of the data:

Affinity	Rationale	Berate Opponent	Contrast Positions
WEAK	70	25	95
WEAK	65	30	55
WEAK	90	55	70
WEAK	85	60	80
WEAK	65	35	60
WEAK	55	40	75
WEAK	35	65	100
STRONG	70	15	90
STRONG	40	75	40
STRONG	60	30	55
STRONG	30	35	85
STRONG	25	45	80
STRONG	50	60	55
STRONG	85	40	85

Next, we will calculate the descriptive statistics for each group and ad type.

Descriptive Statistics

Here are the descriptive statistics for each group and ad type:

Affinity	Ad Type	Mean	Std Dev	Count
STRONG	Rationale	51.43	21.74	7
STRONG	Berate Opponent	42.86	19.76	7
STRONG	Contrast Positions	70.00	19.58	7
WEAK	Rationale	66.43	18.42	7
WEAK	Berate Opponent	44.29	15.66	7
WEAK	Contrast Positions	76.43	16.76	7

Next, we will perform a factorial ANOVA to determine the effect of affinity (weak vs. strong) and ad type (rationale, berate opponent, contrast positions) on voter support.

Factorial ANOVA Results

The results of the factorial ANOVA are as follows:

Source	Sum of Squares	df	F	p-value
Affinity	609.52	1	1.73	0.197
Ad Type	6153.57	2	8.74	0.001
Affinity * Ad Type	329.76	2	0.47	0.630
Residual	12671.43	36

Interpretation:

The main effect of Affinity (weak vs. strong) is not statistically significant (p = 0.197).
The main effect of Ad Type (rationale, berate opponent, contrast positions) is statistically significant (p = 0.001).
The interaction effect between Affinity and Ad Type is not statistically significant (p = 0.630).

Since the main effect of Ad Type is significant, we should conduct post-hoc tests to explore which ad types differ from each other.

Next, we will perform post-hoc tests to compare the different ad types.

Post-hoc Test Results

The results of Tukey's HSD post-hoc test are as follows:

Group 1	Group 2	Mean Diff	p-value	Lower CI	Upper CI
Berate Opponent	Contrast Positions	-20.00	0.001	-31.42	-8.58
Berate Opponent	Rationale	-13.57	0.027	-25.00	-2.14
Contrast Positions	Rationale	6.43	0.392	-5.00	17.86

Interpretation:

The mean support for the "Berate Opponent" ad is significantly lower than both the "Contrast Positions" and "Rationale" ads.
There is no significant difference between the "Contrast Positions" and "Rationale" ads.

Next, let's visualize the results to better understand the differences between the ad types.

get me the answer of this question"14. Using SPSS, compute all the appropriate statistics to test your hypothesis. Make sure to include

any tests for assumptions and that your output includes the effect size (partial eta squared). Copy
/ paste all relevant SPSS output in the space below (do NOT include output not identified
above). Make sure it is all legible (e.g., paste as images so you can resize them so they are all
within the template and visible).
5 pts content / 3 pts format"

To answer this question using SPSS, you would follow these steps:

Data Entry: Enter your data into SPSS.
Descriptive Statistics: Compute descriptive statistics for each group and ad type.
Factorial ANOVA: Perform a factorial ANOVA to determine the effect of affinity (weak vs. strong) and ad type (rationale, berate opponent, contrast positions) on voter support.
Assumption Tests: Check for assumptions such as normality and homogeneity of variances.
Effect Size: Include the effect size (partial eta squared) in your output.
Output: Copy and paste the relevant SPSS output into your document.

Steps in SPSS

Data Entry:
- Open SPSS and enter your data into the Data View. Make sure to label your variables appropriately (e.g., Affinity, Rationale, Berate Opponent, Contrast Positions).
Descriptive Statistics:
- Go to Analyze > Descriptive Statistics > Descriptives.
- Select your dependent variables (Rationale, Berate Opponent, Contrast Positions) and move them to the Variables box.
- Click OK to generate the descriptive statistics.
Factorial ANOVA:
- Go to Analyze > General Linear Model > Univariate.
- Move your dependent variables (Rationale, Berate Opponent, Contrast Positions) to the Dependent Variable box.
- Move your independent variables (Affinity, Ad Type) to the Fixed Factors box.
- Click on Options and check Descriptive statistics, Estimates of effect size, and Homogeneity tests.
- Click Continue and then OK to run the ANOVA.
Assumption Tests:
- Check the output for tests of normality and homogeneity of variances (e.g., Levene's Test).
Effect Size:
- The output will include partial eta squared as the effect size.
Output:
- Copy and paste the relevant SPSS output (descriptive statistics, ANOVA table, assumption tests, and effect size) into your document.
