Survey Analysis

 

create and administer a survey that has a minimum of 15 questions. You may select any topic you are interested (feel free to include horror films, Halloween, villains, or aliens), but do not ask questions about prior victimization or criminal behavior as this could create undue risk, even if this is only a class exercise. Please make sure it is a suitable topic for class. You must type up your survey questions in a word document.
• Must have 15 questions:
o Up to five questions may be demographic in nature, but 10 must be content questions
o All of your questions must be closed-ended
 Be sure to have at least one nominal level question, one ordinal level question, and one metric level question
• Be sure you provide numbers for your attributes (answer choices) when appropriate
• You must administer your survey to 10 people either through an in-person or emailed paper distribution of the survey or some other method (i.e., asking people the questions over the phone or in person (like roommates), asking people to respond via social media). You are NOT allowed to violate social distancing or mask requirements in place for COVID. Do not reach out to strangers or people on the streets. Do not do anything that puts you at risk for contracting COVID-19. Reach out to people you live with, close friends, partners, family, etc.
• Your survey must have an:
o introduction page telling the purpose of your project
o informed consent (see our IRB website for more details)
 Make sure that you follow the proper guidelines and required components of an informed consent. These are the six elements to include at the start of your survey:
1. The purpose of the study, how long the study will last, and a detailed description of the tasks involved (including any experimental procedures).
2. Possible risks or discomforts the participant may experience.
3. Potential benefits to participants or others.
4. The degree of confidentiality a participant can reasonably expect, as well as relevant record retention.
5. Your name and email address OR mine.
6. A statement that participation is voluntary, refusal to participate will not negatively impact the individual, and the individual may stop the study at any time without penalty.
o goodbye/thank-you at the end

Part Two (30 points): Data Entry
For this part of the assignment, you are to code and enter the results into an Excel database. Everyone has access to this through school. If you have questions about this, reach out ASAP. You will be creating a database with your results. Please save this database because you will be using this info in a couple weeks for another asynchronous assignment. I have included a sample for you at the end of this assignment.
o The first column will be named Respondent Number (1-10).
o The second column will be first question. Don’t call it question 1; rather give it a name (e.g., Prior A.L.I.C.E.).
o The third column will be question two on your survey. Again, don’t call it question 2; rather give it a name (e.g., Fear).
o Do this for all of the questions. You should end up with one column per question plus one for the respondent number (1-10).
After that you need to enter their response (by attribute/answer number into the database (see my sample below). Notice that I only did five questions, but you have to do 15.
1. Have you participated in an A.L.I.C.E. training session before?
0. No
1. Yes

2. How often are you afraid that you will become a victim of a school shooting?
1. Never
2. Seldom
3. Sometimes
4. Often
5. Always

3. What do you think the chance is that you will become a victim of a school shooting?
1. Very low
2. Low
3. Medium
4. High
5. Very high

4. How many safety precautions do you take at school?
1. Zero
2. 1-3
3. 4-6
4. 7-9
5. 10+

5. What is your age?

My database (cut and pasted from Excel):
Respondent# Prior Alice Fear Chance Precautions Age
1 0 2 3 5 18
2 0 4 2 2 18
3 1 4 2 3 22
4 0 3 1 1 23
5 1 1 4 1 19
6 1 3 1 4 18
7 0 2 2 5 21
8 0 1 2 3 20
9 1 4 3 2 29
10 1 2 4 2 22

 

 

 

Sample Solution

of mind to one excluding mental, we deduct the importance of experience in understanding a phenomenon. Jackson explains that “mental states are inefficacious in respect to the physical world” (Jackson). Qualia only impact other mental states rather than physical states. Jackson reiterates this by providing three reasons. The first being causality. Just because A follows B does not mean B can follow A. The B follows A hypothesis can be refuted by proving there is a common underlying causal process for each distinct effect. Second, Jackson uses evolution to prove his dualism. Polar bears have evolved to have a thick coat. This thickness makes the coat heavy. Thus, the polar bears experience what it is like to carry a heavy coat. This is clearly not conducive to survival. Therefore, from Darwin’s Theory we know that any evolved characteristics are either conducive to survival or a by-product of an evolutionary action that is conducive to survival. Jackson uses this support his argument against physicalism: “qualia are a by-product of certain brain processes that are conducive to survival” (Jackson). Third, Jackson emphasizes the relationships between how we know our minds through behavior. We only know about others’ minds through observing their behavior. So, we must ask: how can a person’s behavior accurately reflect that he has qualia unless they conclude that behavior is an outcome of qualia? This gives rise to the main weakness of Jackson’s view – there is no proper evidence for the refutation of epiphenomenal qualia. Another weakness of Jackson’s view is the lack of clarity of source. Where do these qualia come from? If not physical, then where? This brings into questions spirits and “upper powers,” such as God, the existence of which are heavily debated in the scientific community. Despite this, the validity of dualism (and the lack of proving dualism to be incorrect), is a strong argument and will continue to allow Jackson’s argument to be considered valid. Because Jackson clearly refutes any existence of physicalism in his explanation of phenomenal qualia, and his argument is overall less problematic than the arguments of his opponents, I align more with Jackson’s knowledge argument than that of Lewis. Until the existence of the actual physical matter behind “what it is like” information is found, Jackson’s argument proves to be more valid than that of Lewis. Although I would like to think that everything involving humans can be linked back to the brain, I do believe that some things may never be explained.
