Binary logistic regression in SPSS

To prepare

  • Review the datasets provided.
  • Construct a research question based on one of those datasets.
  • Remember that your dependent variable must be dichotomous.
  • Think about how you might use the odds ratio in your analysis to simplify the interpretation of your results.

Use SPSS to answer the research question you constructed. Then, compose a 1- to 2-paragraph analysis in APA format in which you answer the following questions:

  • What are the null hypothesis & alternative hypotheses for your question?
  • What research design(s) would align with this question?
  • What dependent variable was used and how is it measured?
  • What independent variable is used and how is it measured?
  • How well did the model fit?
  • If you found statistical significance, what is the strength of the effect?
  • What is the answer to your research question?
  • What are the possible implications of social change?

Be sure to include your data output with your analysis.
