GAF, Consumer Satisfaction, and Type of Clinical Agency
(Public or Private)
A researcher wants to know if mental health clients of private
versus public service agencies differ on Global Assessment of
Functioning (GAF) scores and on Satisfaction with Services
(Satisfaction). She has collected data for 34 clients from a
private agency and for 47 clients of a public agency.
Directions:
Use the SPSS data file for Module 3 (located in Topic
Materials) to answer the following questions:
1. What is the independent variable in this study? What are
the dependent variables?
2. The first step for the researcher will be to clean and
screen the data. Please do this for the researcher and report your
findings. Be sure to check it for possible coding errors, as well
as complete the screening of the data to see if the data meet
assumptions for parametric tests. Did you find any errors that
the researcher made when setting up the SPSS data file (check
the variable view)? If so, what did you find? How did you

4. correct it?
HINT:
Yes, one of the variables is incorrectly listed as scale.
3. Were there missing values on any of the variables? If so,
what might you do for those for the independent variable? What
about those for each of the dependent variables? Explain your
reasoning.
HINTS:
Yes, each variable has some missing data. Describe how
many (and % of all) are missing on each variable.
when considering what to do about the missing values
on each variable, consider if you really can guess what agency a
person came from. Next, for the continuous variables, consider
(1) what % of values are missing (if more than 5% are missing,
what might this mean?); (2) is there a pattern to the missing
scores? Include information from the Output file of your SPSS
Explore analyses to provide specific number and % of missing
values on each of the dependent variables. Based on this, what
recommendation would you make for what to do about the
missing values?
4. Did you find any outliers on the dependent variables that
were due to errors of coding? If so, what and why? How would
you correct an error of coding?3
HINT:
One of the outliers on one continuous variable clearly is a
coding error. Which one is that? What would be the best way to
handle that outlier?

5. 5. How might you deal with outliers that are not due to
coding errors? Explain your reasoning.
HINT:
Use the information you have from your Output file from your
Explore analyses to describe the outliers (e.g. how many
outliers are there on each continuous variable; do they fall
above and/or below the mean). What are ways to handle outliers
on the continuous variables? Might there be some arguments
against deleting outliers? What are these?
6. Check the descriptive statistics, histograms, stem-and-leaf
plots, and the tests for normality that you obtained from your
analyses (see box to check in "Plots" when using Explore to
analyze descriptive statistics of your data). Considering the
skewness and kurtosis values, as well as the Shapiro-Wilk's
results (preferred for small sample sizes), did the distribution of
scores on either of the dependent variables violate the
assumption of normality? How can you tell from the
information you obtained from your analyses?
HINTS:
First, you can look at your histograms and stem-and-leaf
plots to see if you observe marked skewness or other indicators
of differences between the distribution of scores from the
normal distribution.
Next, you can inspect the computed values for skewness
and kurtosis for your variables from your analyses. Report these
values in your answer for the continuous dependent variables?
Which ones are greater than + 1.0? What does having a
skewness or kurtosis value that is greater than + 1.0 tell you
about normality? Then, discuss what having these kinds of

6. values tell you about the normality of the distribution of scores
on that variable.
Next, look at the Shapiro-Wilks’ tests of normality that
you ran. Results with p < .001 or less indicate a violation of the
normality assumption using this type of evaluation.
7. If in #6, you identified any distributions that violate the
assumption of normality, what are some options you might use
to try to correct the distribution to get closer to normality? (You
do not need to do these steps. Just describe them.)
8. Write a sample result section, discussing your data
screening activity.

Procurement Steps are:
Requirement
Requisition
Solicitation - Selection
Contract Administration – how does the vendor comply with
contract requirements?

of a personal litigation reaching the Czopeks is very minimal

weeks.326SFCThe city is unlikely to change their process, build
enough time in the schedule to allow for this risk.With a
possible delayed schedule, the Czopeks may have to stay in
