PSY 510 SPSS Assignment 4 Before you begin the assignment:  Review the video tutorial in the Module Eight resources for an overview of comparing means in SPSS.  Download and open the Food Consumption SPSS data set. To submit your assignment:  The best way to paste your output into the Assignment document is to do the following: o Select Copy when copying from the SPSS output. o To paste in Word, your document must be open within the VDI. Use a shared drive (such as OneDrive) or access your learning environment within the virtual desktop to download this document. o Select Paste and then resize the image to fit the screen in Word. An overview of the data set: The results of a hypothetical experiment are in the data set. The experiment examined dieting, food consumption, and mood. In session one , participants ate at a popular restaurant. Researchers measured the amount of food eaten and their mood. Those results are recorded as consumption1 and mood1 variables. One week later, in session two , participants again ate at the restaurant while watching a funny movie. Researchers measured the amount of food eaten and their mood. Those results are consumption2 and mood2 variables. Participants’ body image and self-esteem were also measured. The variables :  Subnum: The ID number of each participant  Dietingstatus: Participants who were not dieting were coded as 1; those who were dieting were coded as 2.  Consumption1: The amount of food (in ounces) eaten in session 1  Consumption2: The amount of food (in ounces) eaten in session 2  Mood1: Participants’ mood at time 1; scale ranged from 1 (negative mood) to 10 (positive mood)  Mood2: Participants’ mood at time 2; scale ranged from 1 (negative mood) to 10 (positive mood)  Bodyimage: Participants’ self-reported body satisfaction on a scale ranged 25 (dissatisfied) to 50 (satisfied)  Selfesteem: Participants’ self-esteem rating on a scale from 15 (low self-esteem) to 30 (high self- esteem) Questions: To complete this assignment, replace the bracketed text with the relevant information. 1a) Run a means test to compare the means of dieters and non-dieters on the bodyimage and selfesteem variables.

1b) From the Report output, describe the difference in the means between bodyimage and dietingstatus . Describe the difference in means between selfesteem and dietingstatus . In this particular dataset, it is evident that there is a slight variation in the means. However, it is not significant enough to make a notable difference. Specifically, the average score for body image among participants who did not diet was 41.9, while for those who did diet it was 38.0. The mean for self- esteem among non-dieting individuals was 23.8 and for dieters it was 22.0 2a) To explore the relationship between bodyimage and dietingstatus and selfesteem and dietingstatus , use an independent samples t-test because you have two unrelated groups (dieting and non-dieting).

2b) Review the Independent Samples Test output. Look at the Sig. (2-tailed) column to decide the level of statistical significance.  Is there significance with either variable?  Explain how to determine statistical significance.  Discuss your conclusion about the relationship between dieting status on bodyimage and selfesteem . We can observe that the body image has a p-value of .016 and self-esteem has a p-value of .098. As per standard guidelines, any value below .05 is considered significant. Based on this, I interpret that there is a significant correlation between dieting and body image, while the connection between dieting and self-esteem is not significant. 3a) Calculate the means for consumption1, consumption2, mood1 , and mood2 .
