post is of three assignments
1:Interpersonal communications
Research and write a 5-8 page paper (excluding title page and reference pages) on one of the topics listed below. The paper should incorporate references to the course material and a minimum of 6 scholarly sources. The paper should be typed, double spaced using APA formatting, and attached as a file. Your writing should display knowledge, analysis, evaluation, and application of the material you have studied in the course. See the document called “Final Paper Expectations” for a breakdown of the structure and expectations.
As you consider the topic you want to write about, ask yourself what supporting materials from the course, from your personal experiences, and from your researched resources you could bring together to bring the topic to life.
Topics to select from are:
Consider how Martin Buber’s theory of communication plays out in the world. Take into consideration each of the three types of relationships (I-It, I-You, I-Thou).
Abraham Maslow developed his theory of the “Hierarchy of Needs.” How do people use social media to meet their needs?
Discuss your thoughts and the thoughts of the experts about the four types of attachment styles.
Discuss the impact of the media on the development of gender identity.
What are the impacts of long-distance relationships on interpersonal communication?
Martin Luther King, Jr. (Quotable Quote) is quoted as saying, “It really boils down to this: that all life is interrelated. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality.” What aspects of interpersonal communication apply to this sentiment?
According to Anthony Robbins (Quotable Quote), “The quality of your life is the quality of your communication.” How so?
Module 2 told us that “the self arises in communication with others.” Discuss.
Before writing this paper, observe yourself for several days, and whenever you use “you” language, try to rephrase what you said or thought into “I” language. How does that change how you think and feel about what’s happening? How does it affect your interactions with others? Does it make a positive or negative impact? Describe your experiences and then relate your personal findings to what you find in your research.
What labels that you dislike have been applied to you or to groups to which you belong? Explain how the labels affect you. Describe how your experiences relate to what you find in your research.
Who is your prototype, or model, of a listener? Describe what the person does that makes her or him effective? Relate your description to research on listening.
Discuss the differences between differential, assertive, and aggressive communication.
Define and describe what makes a good friend. Describe the investments that are made, how trust, acceptance, and closeness are communicated. How does that compare to what experts say about friends and friendship?
What makes for a successful romantic relationship? Compare your personal experiences to your research.
Talk with three parents. Ask the following questions of each parent: 1) What change was the least expected after your first baby was born? How did communication with your partner and others change after the baby was born? 3) How did having a child affect your marriage or relationship (if the parent was in a committed relationship at the time that the baby arrived)? Discuss their responses in relation the research on the effects of children on the parents.

State the implications for nurses in your own words citing references to support your position. Include your personal reactions to the conclusions in the article in your own words.
3:Hypothetical dataset
Order Description
1. Use the dataset: For Homework4.sav. This hypothetical dataset is based on published research pertaining to the fallibility of eyewitness testimony. For this type of research, participants are shown a video of a collision between two cars. After the participant watches the video, some time elapses and then the participant is asked to estimate how fast the car was going when it collided with the other car. For example, “How fast was the car going when it tapped the other car?”. Participants’ estimation of speed is influenced by which word is used to describe the collision (i.e., tap, bumped, hit, smashed, crashed). For this example, suppose each participant was given videos to watch under each of the descriptor words for the collision. Thus, the study involves repeated measurements from the same individuals.
a. Conduct a repeated measures ANOVA. Label the repeated measures independent variable “type_of_verb”. Provide SPSS output showing the significance level for the within participants IV. (1 point)
b. State the null and alternative hypotheses for the main effect of type of verb on participants’ estimates of car speeds. (1 point)
c. For this particular dataset, do the results suggest that type of verb has a small, medium, or large effect on participants’ estimates of car speed? Be sure to justify your response by mentioning the effect size for the main effect. (1 point).
d. Produce a line graph that shows each of the means. Provide SPSS output showing for this line graph. (1 Point).
e. Does the line graph in 1d suggest that there are significant differences between each of the means? Justify your answer by explaining which means seem to be different and which means do not seem to be different.
f. Conduct pairwise comparisons between each of the means using the Bonferroni correct for family-wise error rate. Provide SPSS output showing the pairwise contrasts. (1 point).
g. Which of the means are significantly different from each other based on the output provided in 1f. (1 point)
h. Suppose you wished to conduct this study again. Using the effect size based on the current dataset, what would the sample size have to be to conduct this study again with power = .80? Provide a picture of the G*Power results with the number of participants required circled in that picture. (1 point)
i. Suppose you wished to conduct the study with experienced highway patrol officers. You decide that the effect size will probably be small. Assuming a d value of .28, what would the sample size need to be to obtain power at .80?
i. Show the calculation of f using the formula: d = 2*f (1 point)
ii. Provide a picture of the G*Power results with the number of participants required circled in that picture. (1 point)
j. Suppose the effects of type of verb occurs because of weaknesses in participants working memory; those with poorer working memory are unable to remember how fast the car was travelling due to weak representations of the viewed events. To explore this possibility, the researcher decides to use working memory skills as measured by the digit span to control for the effects of individual differences in working memory on the effects of type of verb.
i. Provide an SPSS printout that shows the within subjects effects (i.e., main effect for type of verb and interaction between the main effect of type of verb and working memory). (1 point)
ii. State the null and alternative hypotheses for the main effect of type of verb when the covariate of working memory is included in the analysis. (1 point)
iii. Report the F-test for the main effects of type of verb while the covariate is in the model. Use the standard way of reporting the F-test result (this includes the interpretation of the effect). (1 point).
iv. Did the effect of type of verb depend on working memory? Justify your answer using the appropriate F-test. (1 point)
