Use the Afroborameter data set for this assignment. Read the following three scenarios a
Scenarios
1. Results of your literature review conclude that trust in the police is an integral

exists in Africa. Using Afrobarometer 2015, please provide: a 12 APA style
paragraph statement that furnishes an answer to this question, note the relevant

2. Following up on your previous analysis, you now wish to determine whether a

in rural, urban or semi-urban settings? Using Afrobarometer 2015, please
provide: a 12 APA style paragraph statement that furnishes an answer to this
question, note the relevant statistics, comment on meaningfulness, and include

Format to use for paper:
Scenario 1
IV = presence of democracy (DEMOCRACY_DICH, Democracy [dichotomous])
DV = trust in police (Q59h. Trust police)
Scenario 2
IV = URBRUR (Urban or Rural Primary Sampling Unit)
DV = DV = trust in police (Q59h. Trust police)
Scenario 3
IV = extent of democracy (Q42. Extent of democracy)
DV = presence of democracy (DEMOCRACY_DICH, Democracy [dichotomous])
Write a formal, scholarly, APA style summary of your results. Address all of the following in 1 to 2 paragraphs for each one of the three scenarios:
State the research question. – State the null and alternative hypotheses.
Identify the IV, the DV, and how they are measured. Refer to their measurement level and how each category is coded.
Report the Chi-Square results in APA format.
Report your decision about the null hypothesis and whether the results are significant at the .05 level.
Report and interpret the effect size using Cramers V.
Provide a clear summary of the percentages in the cells that contribute to the effects. .
Comment on what could be influencing the results.
Discuss implications for social change. In other words, what can we learn from this and how could it be used in a beneficial way. This can be brief; a sentence or two will likely suffice.
Append the SPSS output at the end of the paper.
