hi just doing the finshing touchs to my thesis
but i wondered how to reference G*power 3.2.1 ?

this is how i currently have it is , i am using harvard style as well.
Faul, F. (2009) G*Power, Rel 3.2.1. Germany: Faul, F

in text is (Faul 2009)

can anyone bring some insight into this please?
thank you

Quote From sneaks:

The K-S test is dodgy at the best of times, out of about 40 students, I get about 35 each year with sig K-S tests. I'd report it, but then say after you inspected histograms, skewness and kurtosis values were deemed to be acceptable (reference here) and therefore the data was treated using parametric analyses (if you actually think the histograms do look normal).


thanks for that quick reply, what about the fact that i use One-Sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov Test to test the normality which is non-signifcant
and is it acceptable to use this method even though i have 2 groups/ 6 varibles within the data but test it as a one sample?

hi im doing the stats for my msc disso at the moment, testing the data to see if it meets the parametric assuptions i looked through my notes and realised that there are 2 ways to use the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test.
1) Analyze-Nonparametric Tests-1-Sample K-S… place h variables in the Test Variable List… box, click OK
2) Analze - Descriptive Statistics, then Explore, plots button. Under descriptives click on the Histogram. Click on Normality plots with test.

i get differnce answers for both: 1) non-sig 2) sig. i want to use it to test normality ideally using 1)
i have got 6 variables (interval)

sample size is 185 and even thou ive got 2 groups (gender) i want to test it as a whole sample so i would assume 1) NPAR method is acceptable or am i wrong??

hope this makes sense

statistics in msc disso

thanks for that, i am going to relook at a few things before i make any harsh changes or such.

i think it is because i struggled to understand and do stats at bsc level and for the 1st half of msc, but now i did all the tests i needed for my msc project in an afternoon i thought that it was just "too easy" to use in my disso, i didnt consider until today after seeing a stats boffin at uni that i am more smarter in regards to stats but lack the confidence with it.
i am using multiple regression using 3 variables but have to make sure the type 3 errors are acceptable  and significant ( have to relook at my notes) then use the y = mx + C to then predict amount of physical activity per week (in minutes) using confidence, barriers and internal locus on control as the predictive variables should be fun

thanks for your feedback guys:-)

hi guys i am currently doing my msc disso and just started doing all the statisical tests and so on i just wanted to know what are the more complex stats that can be used with data, purely for trying to get higher marks to be perfectly honest,
ive used G*power in the methods which i would get more marks for, and the most complex thing in the results so far is mutiple regression for predictiving behavoiurs

what other stats realted stuff could be used to boost marks up ?

my disso looks compares confidence, locus of control and percieved barriers between active and non-active univeristy students.

hope u guys should shed some light
