Data Analysis

8.4Data Analysis

Consider the following problem: Astronauts on extended missions, such as those who may go to Mars, may have increased anxiety levels, which can be very problematic in enclosed areas or in space suits. You wish to determine which method of anxiety reduction is best without affecting safety or astronaut performance/health. The three options are medication, meditation practice, or both. Based upon this information, write the data analysis portion of a research proposal (as outlined in Chapter 5 of the textbook) to include the data needed, how the data would be collected, methodology, and treatment(s). Be sure to use a correlational, quasi-experimental, or experimental design as outlined in the readings. Identify issues related to Type 1 and Type 2 errors in the data analysis. The assignment should be at least two pages (size 12 font, double spaced) not including references, title pages, figures, or tables.
