Essay on Kaplan Mm207 Statistics Final Project

When I took my first survey Political Typology, it said that I was a strong liberalist, a person that strongly believes that America's success is linked to its ability to change rather than relying on long-standing principles. Liberalists believe that good diplomacy – rather than military strength – is the best way to ensure peace. After taking the second survey it also says that I'm a libertarian, who abdicates maximizing individual rights and then attend the role of the state.

I am going to tell you my Political Ideology in this essay today. I would like to consider myself a Conservative, but the number one thing for me would be what that person said and what they planned on doing. If anything, I don't really care if they are Liberal or Conservative, what really matters is what they are planning on doing, but I guess I'm going to have to decide what I am. A Liberal... Conservative... or Libertarian.

The ‘big five’ is a model that has been used to identify personality traits the have a reflection in the political orientation and participation of individuals. In this essay I will be arguing that the personality of individuals has less of an impact on their political behaviour than other factors including age, gender and socioeconomic status. Research in relation to the big five has shown that there are two areas of the ‘big five’ that have more influence than others, I will be discussing why scoring higher on the openness section of the big five may mean that you are more likely to be a supporter who is more liberal or on the left of the political spectrum. Contrasting this if you score higher on the conscientiousness scale you are more likely to be right wing or conservative on the political spectrum. The big five does not necessarily identify if a person is more likely to vote or not, just solely orientation so this essay will discuss factors that can change the probability of participation in politics.

Research Question #2: “What relationship exists between the grade point average earned in dual credit courses and college persistence?” An Anova test was used to compare the GPA earned and college persistence. Table 3 represents the results which portrays no difference in the groups, (F [1,154] = 643.02, p > .01) where the p value is 7.57. This means that the groups are not statistically different and there is no relationship between the GPA earned and college persistence.

f) To find the probability of each of these answers you would start by dividing the possible successful outcomes by the total number of possible outcomes. In the example E, the question asked for anyone except an administrator, therefore, taking the total amount of people minus the administrator will give you a category for those you want to have picked. After that, you would continue as if you had the successful possibilities divided by all possible

I would use a pie chart because it would show a percentage of designated students in that university.

Out of the five categories on the political spectrum line I place myself as a Republican. In my opinion being a Republican means to me that there should be a smaller government, the government should not be a big role in business and that we would prefer spending our tax money on infrastructure and the military . I believe that I am a Republican because I do not always want things in the government to change every day. I think that change is good but if something is working out good we should keep it and just build off of it, that is why I believe that I am a conservative. The three reasons/issues why I placed my self where I did was because I do not think that we should be spending a large amount of our tax money on social programs, I think that we need more security on our border and should be somewhat concentrating on legal and not illegal immigration, I do not think that we should punish success by taxing it , and lastly I believe that people should acknowledge that the police work hard and that I support the police and law but also think that they need to respect everyone's individual rights of people.

Whereas a strongly conservatives averaged neutral on Ingroup / loyalty statements, while agreeing with fairness / Reciprocity, Harm / Care and Purity / Sanctity and strongly agreeing with Authority / Respect(Graham, Haidt and Nosek 2009).

I would say that this is quite an accurate representation of my political ideology. Despite not having all the same views as the majority of this group holds, I deeply align with many of them. For example, this group is slightly more conservative and leans toward the Republican party, but holds the opinions of both parties, which is an accurate assessment. I believe that I am mostly conservative, but I also hold a lot of mixed views espoused by both political parties. The Young outsiders are largely skeptical of activist government, which I believe to be true, which proves the quiz results accurate. Environmental and liberal social policies are also supported by this group, many of which I also support, once again, consistent with my results. This evidence proves that I am consistently aligned as a Young Outsider based upon my own personal views which agrees with the results of the typology

The results of my political typology survey were slightly surprising to me—I am a business conservative. The vast majority of my extended family claim to be conservative as well. Despite (or maybe as a result of) our similar views, we aren’t afraid to talk politics. Many a Thanksgiving has been spent discussing the latest turn of events from Washington. Yet, my parents in particular have always pushed my brother and me to make our own political decisions. The surprising results of this quiz, however, stem from the degree of conservatism that I am categorized as—it seems that I am farther left on the scale than the rest of my family. They haven’t taken this quiz, but I’m sure that they would be considered steadfast conservatives.

Recently, I have found myself to be, politically, exceedingly left, which is surprising considering I was raised by a moderate mother and a right-wing conservative father. Although, it may not be as “surprising” when you factor in my place of residence, the liberal Bay Area, or the demographics I fit into, such as being a well-educated eighteen-year-old Latinx woman. I had anticipated that I would be somewhere in the third quadrant, though perhaps not as extreme was what the quiz had concluded.

In the United States, people tend to put themselves into two categories; Republican or Democrat and, therefore, conservative or liberal. The typologies given by the Pew Research Center go beyond these two, basic ideologies by keeping typical conservative and liberal ideals intact, but admitting the mixed viewpoints of many Americans. As a registered independent, someone who does not define themselves with the two main parties, I was excited to see exactly where I fall on the political spectrum. What I found was not some profound pinpoint of where I stand, but more of a thinking point that pressured me to identify my typology on my own.

In this study piloted by Trockel, Barnes and Egget (2000) they hypothesized that poor health behaviors would be greater amongst those with low grade point averages. The predictors of the correlation study were: exercise, eating, sleep habits, mood states, perceived stress, time management, social support, spiritual habits, number of hours worked per week, gender and age. The outcome variable was the students’ grade point averages. The goal of the study was to see which health behavior affected grade point averages the most.

In conclusion, the results were in line with the hypothesis. Whether the stressor was work, childcare or sports each had some sort of an impact on schoolwork performance. The best way for this hypothesis to be fully analyzed would be by comparing this to a controlled group, which did not fall into any of these categories.

most of the data points do not fall on the line. It is a moderate correlation,
