Assignment 3
For assignment #3, you will be working with the variables to answer your research question. To begin with, read the Walters, et al. (2020) article. This article provides a good overview of the theory, constructs, and variables associated with the data set.
Next, you will need to identify variables of interest. Use the article, your social work experience, and your data to identify the variables. There is not a correct number of variables. It will depend on your question and your population as to what data will be available to operationalize these constructs.
Finally, you will start your data log. This will be a working document of your study variables. Headings should include original name of variable, rename of variable, original value, recoded value. You will use the data dictionary to document variables as you modify, create, and convert in the upcoming assignment. Also do not forget to keep up with your version control document. For this assignment, please submit the descriiptive statistics to me in a written format and with a frequency table.
Sample:
Original Name Renamed Value Recoded value
M4 gender 1=yes
2=no
88=unknown
99=refused
