Data checking
• Have one one person read the survey responses aloud to another person who checks the electronic data file.
• For large studies, check a proportion of the surveys and declare the error-rate in the research report.

Data screening
• Carefully 'screening' a data file helps to minimise errors and maximise validity.
• For example, screen for:– Out of range values (min. and max.)– Mis-entered data– Missing cases– Duplicate cases– Missing data

Level of measurement &
types of statistics
12
Golden rule of data analysis
Level of measurement determines type of
descriptive statistics and graphs
Level of measurement determines which types of descriptive statistics and which types of graphs are appropriate.
![Page 5: Lecture 3 - Wikimedia · 2018. 1. 8. · Lecture 3 Survey Research & Design in Psychology James Neill, 2016 Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 Descriptives & Graphing 2 Overview: Descriptives](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022071104/5fddd23eb009a052e073b73e/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
13
Levels of measurement andnon-parametric vs. parametric
Categorical & ordinal DVs → non-parametric
(Does not assume a normal distribution)
Interval & ratio DVs→ parametric
(Assumes a normal distribution)
→ non-parametric(If distribution is non-normal)
DVs = dependent variables
14
Parametric statistics
• Procedures which estimate parameters of a population, usually based on the normal distribution
• Key parametric statistics: –Univariate: M, SD, skewness,
kurtosis → t-tests, ANOVAs
–Bi/multivariate: r → linear regression, multiple linear regression
15
• More powerful (more sensitive)• More assumptions (normal
distribution)• More vulnerable to violations of
assumptions
Parametric statistics
![Page 6: Lecture 3 - Wikimedia · 2018. 1. 8. · Lecture 3 Survey Research & Design in Psychology James Neill, 2016 Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 Descriptives & Graphing 2 Overview: Descriptives](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022071104/5fddd23eb009a052e073b73e/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
16
Non-parametric statistics(Distribution-free tests)
• Fewer assumptions (do not assume a normal distribution)
• Common non-parametric statistics:–Frequency → sign test, chi-squared
–Rank order → Mann-Whitney U test, Wilcoxon matched-pairs signed-ranks test
17
Univariate descriptive statistics
![Page 7: Lecture 3 - Wikimedia · 2018. 1. 8. · Lecture 3 Survey Research & Design in Psychology James Neill, 2016 Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 Descriptives & Graphing 2 Overview: Descriptives](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022071104/5fddd23eb009a052e073b73e/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
19
What do we want to describe?
The distributional properties of underlying variables, based on:● Central tendency (ies):
Frequencies, Mode, Median, Mean
● Shape : Skewness, Kurtosis
● Spread (dispersion): Min., Max., Range, IQR, Percentiles, Var/SD
for sampled data.
20
Measures of central tendencyStatistics which represent the ‘centre’ of a frequency distribution:
–Mode (most frequent)–Median (50th percentile)–Mean (average)
Which ones to use depends on:–Type of data (level of measurement)–Shape of distribution (esp. skewness)
Reporting more than one may be appropriate.

Descriptives for nominal data• Nominal LOM = Labelled categories• Descriptive statistics:
–Most frequent? (Mode – e.g., females)
–Least frequent? (e.g., Males)
–Frequencies (e.g., 20 females, 10 males)
–Percentages (e.g. 67% females, 33% males)
–Cumulative percentages–Ratios (e.g., twice as many females as males)
![Page 9: Lecture 3 - Wikimedia · 2018. 1. 8. · Lecture 3 Survey Research & Design in Psychology James Neill, 2016 Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 Descriptives & Graphing 2 Overview: Descriptives](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022071104/5fddd23eb009a052e073b73e/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
25
Descriptives for ordinal data
• Ordinal LOM = Conveys order but not distance (e.g., ranks)
• Descriptives approach is as for nominal (frequencies, mode etc.)
• Plus percentiles (including median) may be useful
26
Descriptives for interval data
• Interval LOM = order and distance, but no true 0 (0 is arbitrary).
• Central tendency (mode, median, mean)
• Shape/Spread (min., max., range, SD, skewness, kurtosis)
Interval data is discrete, but is often treated as ratio/continuous (especially for > 5 intervals)
27
Descriptives for ratio data
• Ratio = Numbers convey order and distance, meaningful 0 point
• As for interval, use median, mean, SD, skewness etc.
• Can also use ratios (e.g., Category A is twice as large as Category B)
![Page 10: Lecture 3 - Wikimedia · 2018. 1. 8. · Lecture 3 Survey Research & Design in Psychology James Neill, 2016 Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 Descriptives & Graphing 2 Overview: Descriptives](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022071104/5fddd23eb009a052e073b73e/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
28
Mode (Mo)• Most common score - highest point in a
frequency distribution – a real score – the most common response
• Suitable for all levels of data, but may not be appropriate for ratio (continuous)
• Not affected by outliers• Check frequencies and bar graph
to see whether it is an accurate and useful statistic
29
Frequencies ( f) and percentages (%)
• # of responses in each category • % of responses in each category• Frequency table• Visualise using a bar or pie chart
30
Median (Mdn)
• Mid-point of distribution (Quartile 2, 50th percentile)
• Not badly affected by outliers • May not represent the central
tendency in skewed data• If the Median is useful, then
consider what other percentiles may also be worth reporting
![Page 11: Lecture 3 - Wikimedia · 2018. 1. 8. · Lecture 3 Survey Research & Design in Psychology James Neill, 2016 Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 Descriptives & Graphing 2 Overview: Descriptives](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022071104/5fddd23eb009a052e073b73e/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
31
Summary: Descriptive statistics• Level of measurement and
normality determines whether data can be treated as parametric
• Describe the central tendency–Frequencies, Percentages–Mode, Median, Mean
• Describe the variability :–Min, Max, Range, Quartiles–Standard Deviation, Variance

34
Four moments of a normal distribution
Four mathematical qualities (parameters) can describe a continuous distribution which as least roughly follows a bell curve shape:
• 1st = mean (central tendency)• 2nd = SD (dispersion)• 3rd = skewness (lean / tail)• 4th = kurtosis (peakedness / flattness)
35
Mean (1st moment )
• Average score
Mean = Σ X / N• For normally distributed ratio or
interval (if treating it as continuous) data. • Influenced by extreme scores
(outliers)
36
Beware inappropriate averaging...
With your head in an ovenand your feet in ice
you would feel, on average ,
just fineThe majority of people have more than the average number of legs
(M = 1.9999).
![Page 13: Lecture 3 - Wikimedia · 2018. 1. 8. · Lecture 3 Survey Research & Design in Psychology James Neill, 2016 Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 Descriptives & Graphing 2 Overview: Descriptives](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022071104/5fddd23eb009a052e073b73e/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
37
Standard deviation (2nd moment )
• SD = square root of the variance= Σ (X - X)2
N – 1• For normally distributed interval or
ratio data• Affected by outliers• Can also derive the Standard Error
(SE) = SD / square root of N
38
Skewness (3rd moment )
• Lean of distribution– +ve = tail to right– -ve = tail to left
• Can be caused by an outlier, or ceiling or floor effects
• Can be accurate (e.g., cars owned per person would have a skewed distribution)
39
Skewness (3rd moment)(with ceiling and floor effects)
● Negative skew● Ceiling effect
● Positive skew● Floor effect
![Page 14: Lecture 3 - Wikimedia · 2018. 1. 8. · Lecture 3 Survey Research & Design in Psychology James Neill, 2016 Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 Descriptives & Graphing 2 Overview: Descriptives](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022071104/5fddd23eb009a052e073b73e/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
40
Kurtosis (4th moment )
• Flatness or peakedness of distribution
+ve = peaked -ve = flattened• By altering the X &/or Y axis, any
distribution can be made to look more peaked or flat – add a normal curve to help judge kurtosis visually.
41
Kurtosis (4th moment )
Blue = Negative (platykurtic)
Red = Positive (leptokurtic)
42
Judging severity of skewness & kurtosis
• View histogram with normal curve • Deal with outliers• Rule of thumb:
Skewness and kurtosis > -1 or < 1 is generally considered to sufficiently normal for meeting the assumptions of parametric inferential statistics
• Significance tests of skewness: Tend to be overly sensitive (therefore avoid using)

43
Areas under the normal curve
If distribution is normal(bell-shaped - or close):
~68% of scores within +/- 1 SD of M ~95% of scores within +/- 2 SD of M~99.7% of scores within +/- 3 SD of M

46
Types of non-normal distribution• Modality
– Uni-modal (one peak)– Bi-modal (two peaks)– Multi-modal (more than two peaks)
• Skewness– Positive (tail to right)– Negative (tail to left)
• Kurtosis– Platykurtic (Flat)– Leptokurtic (Peaked)

Principles of graphing
• Clear purpose• Maximise clarity• Minimise clutter• Allow visual comparison
66
Graphs(Edward Tufte)
• Visualise data• Reveal data
– Describe– Explore– Tabulate– Decorate
• Communicate complex ideas with clarity, precision, and efficiency
![Page 23: Lecture 3 - Wikimedia · 2018. 1. 8. · Lecture 3 Survey Research & Design in Psychology James Neill, 2016 Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 Descriptives & Graphing 2 Overview: Descriptives](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022071104/5fddd23eb009a052e073b73e/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
67
Graphing steps
1. Identify purpose of the graph (make large amounts of data coherent; present many #s in small space; encourage the eye to make comparisons)
2. Select type of graph to use 3. Draw and modify graph to be
clear, non-distorting, and well-labelled (maximise clarity, minimise clarity; show the data; avoid distortion; reveal data at several levels/layers)
68
Software for data visualisation (graphing)
1. Statistical packages ● e.g., SPSS Graphs or via Analyses
2. Spreadsheet packages● e.g., MS Excel
3. Word-processors● e.g., MS Word – Insert – Object –

"Like good writing, good graphical displays of data communicate ideas with clarity, precision, and efficiency.
Like poor writing, bad graphical displays distort or obscure the data,
make it harder to understand or compare, or otherwise thwart the communicative effect which the
graph should convey." Michael Friendly –
