Discuss how science, in “theoretical practice” goes beyond mechanistic paradigm

Discuss how science, in “theoretical practice” goes beyond mechanistic paradigm. Also consider its membership when thinking of psychology and its subject of studies. Also discuss the main currents of thoughts in today’s psychology: basics assumptions, objects of study and methods

Happiness and engagement dataset:

Instruction: Please use the data I provided (excel). Follow the steps carefully below. Use the reference and article I provided.

***Follow the steps carefully

Now that you have run descriptive statistics with your data, it is time to create a hypothesis and test your hypothesis. This part of the Statistics Project will take you through the process of creating and testing your hypothesis through statistical methods, using Microsoft® Excel®. Creating hypotheses provides you the opportunity to think like a researcher and help you understand and critique research articles you read.

Create a hypothesis for the Happiness and Engagement Dataset from Part 1 of the Statistics Project. Your hypothesis can be anything based on the variables you have in your dataset. One example: Teaching Method X provides higher test scores than Teaching Method Y.

Create a null hypothesis. (Example: Teaching Method X scores are equal to Teaching Method Y scores.)

State your null and alternate hypotheses.

Identify and justify which type of statistical analysis will be appropriate for this data.

Review the steps beginning on pp. 202 in Statistics Plain and Simple describing how to run an independent samples t test.

Run an independent samples t test on the data in your dataset.

Write a 125- to 175-word summary of your interpretation of the results of the t test, and copy and paste your Microsoft® Excel® output below the summary.

Format your summary according to APA format.

Submit your summary, including the Microsoft® Excel® output to the assignment.

Research articles are reviewed in many instances in life. You may review an article to serve as a reference for an academic paper, or you may review an article to simply gain additional information on a particular subject. It is important to understand the meaning of the statistical analysis presented in these articles. This exercise allows you to gain experience searching through the literature of published research.

Using what you’ve learned from the weekly readings, search for research that has utilized analytical tools mentioned in the readings (i.e., single-sample ztest, t tests) and identify why that analysis was appropriate for the data.

Identifying Statistical Tests in the Literature Worksheet

Research in the University Library to find three empirical (those containing data) research articles using one of the analytic methods studied this week (i.e., z test, independent sample t test, repeated measures t test).

Select articles that are of interest to you and include the citations at the end of this document.

Fill out the following tables and answer each question in 1 to 2 sentences.
