Directions: Read the formulation of a research topic below and respond to question 1
Research Question: What is the relationship between emotional intelligence (EI) and academic achievement in undergraduate healthcare administration students?
EI will be measured by the Mayer-Salovey-Caruso Emotional Intelligence Test (MSCEIT).
Academic achievement will be measured by current GPA.
Hypotheses:
H1: There is a statistically significant relationship between student MSCEIT scores and current GPA.
H0: There is no statistically significant relationship between student MSCEIT scores and current GPA.
H2: Student characteristics affect academic achievement.
H0: Student characteristics do not affect academic achievement.
Justification: Research suggests that student understanding and management of emotions are clearly linked with academic achievement (MacCann, Fogarty, Zeidner & Roberts, 2010). Additionally, it is hypothesized that higher emotional intelligence could predict grades via a link to coping with stressors such as assessments, group collaborations and the emotional demands of academic life (MacCann et al., 2010). While this concept has received attention from the fields of economics, social and emotional learning and positive psychology (MacCann et al., 2010), it has not been studied specifically in health care administration students.

An article included a summary of findings regarding the use of SAT I scores, SAT II scores, and high school grade point average (GPA) to predict first-year college GPA. The article states that "among these, SAT II scores are the best predictor, explaining 17 percent of the variance in first-year college grades. GPA was second at 15.5 percent, and SAT I was last at 13.5 percent." If the data from this study were used to fit a least squares line with y = first-year college GPA and x = high school GPA, what would the value of r2 have been? r2 =arrow_forwardWhat is the meaning of each below type of hypothesis?

The respondents who answered yes when asked if there is solid evidence that the earth is getting warmer were then asked to select a cause of global warming. The results are given in the accompanying data table. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the sex of the respondent is independent of the choice for the cause of global warming.

- Help please! (b) Despite the results being statistically significant, the authors stated in their article about the first study: "The field study did not support an examination of why more creative store windows led consumers to enter the stores. … The use of actual retailers' real store windows meant that the level of creativity was not the only variable that differed among the retailers and their windows." How does the second study address some of those drawbacks? Does either study suffer from a lack of realism? Choose the best explanation. A) The drawbacks in the first study were that it was an observational study and that it did not control for confounding variables (such as variations in merchandise and potential customers). The second study addresses these drawbacks by using the same retailer and the same merchandise, and by only changing the creativity of the window display. Neither study suffers from a lack of realism, since statistically significant results were…arrow_forwardA child psychologist believe that controlled physical outbursts of anger (like punching a pillow) may improve the mood of young boys with emotional impairment. He believes that the proportion of boys who benefit from the treatment is greater than the proportion of girls. A random sample from each population receives counseling in the treatment and is asked about their mood after an episode (x is the number of test subjects that reported an improvement in mood). The results of the study are summarized in the table below. Boys n1 = 200 Girls n2 = 210 %3D %3D X1 = 35 X2 = 28 Blank #1: Find the two sample proportions, reporting each as a decimal, rounded to two decimal places. Do the initial (untested) findings show what the researcher expected? Enter your answer as a list of 3 items: P1, P2, yes or no. Do not add any extra spaces and pay attention to rounding.
