Open the research paper Interest in Working with Elderly

Open the research paper "Interest in Working with Elderly: A Cross-National Study of Graduating Social Work Students," and read to page 385 (you can stop at the second paragraph “Our next step…”). As you read, consider what you have learned in your readings about ANOVA this week, as one part of the study is an analysis of variance test for differences of means.

Once you have finished reading, answer the following prompts:

1. What were the populations being studied in the one-way ANOVA? In other words, which people do the results of the ANOVA in Table 2 apply to? (50-100 words)
2. What was the variable being studied in the one-way ANOVA? (25-50 words)
3. How was that variable measured? (25-50 words)
4. What conclusions can be drawn from the researchers’ one-way ANOVA? What does p < .01 mean? P < .001 mean? Why does Australia have a lower F statistic than the United States? What does that higher F statistic mean?(100-200 words)
5. What are the limitations of this study? How are we limited in extrapolating these outcomes?(75-125 words)
