SE5102 Research Methods and Design
Statistics Portfolio
The resubmission task for the statistics portfolio requires students to complete THREE activities:
1 Select a QUALITATIVE research paper and complete a 500 word review of the methodology that was employed in the paper. You should provide a brief summary of the approach adopted and comment on the strengths and weaknesses associated with this approach.
PLEASE NOTE THAT YOU NEED TO SELECT A DIFFERENT RESEARCH PAPER TO THE ONE THAT YOU USED IN THE ORIGINAL SUBMISSION
2) Complete a results section based on the Excel datasheet that can be found in the reassessment tasks folder. The section should include a suitable graph, table of data (in Harvard format) and a brief summary of the results. The work should be on one page in Microsoft Word.

SE4101 Psychological Aspects of Exercise and Sport

Title: Poster Presentation
Format: Experimental write-up
Word count:One Word document containing the text which would appear on a poster, 600 words plus data and graphs, excluding references
Weighting:40%
Submission date: Thursday 7th July 2016, at 4pm

Turnitin:This assignment must be submitted to Turnitin

This assignment is intended to assess the following learning outcomes:
Explain how different psychological theories can be used to understand behaviour in sport.
Investigate and discuss key themes in sport and exercise psychology.
Research and compile an academic assessment

Details of the task

Students will be required to work individually to produce and write the text for an academic poster (you dont actually need to design or submit a poster, just write its content). It will be presented in a Microsoft Word document as an academic account of an experiment which is described below. The data from the experiment will be available as an Excel spreadsheet, which can be found on Moodle.

Outline of the experiment
After reviewing an article relating to the effects of music tempo on cycle ergometer performance by Waterhouse, Hudson and Edwards (2009), you have been asked to design and undertake an experiment into the effects of music tempo on the selected cycling cadence of a group of undergraduate students. A group of male and female undergraduates were taken into a physiology laboratory (where normal safety and health checks were undertaken), and following an appropriate warm-up routine, were instructed to cycle, with no resistance, at whatever speed they chose to. A pre-recorded selection of dance music was played in the laboratory the music was all selected because the tempo of the originally recorded music, which was 120 beats per minute (BPM). However, the experimenter was able to manipulate the BPM of the tracks, to play to the people taking part in the experiment at 100, 110, 120 or 130 bpm. In the tenth minute of the cycling trial, the average cycling cadence (number of pedal revolutions) of each participant was recorded. The results are presented in an Excel spreadsheet you will find on Moodle.

You must research the role of music tempo on sporting performance (journal articles on the subject have been written by Karageorghis, and Terry, among others).

The report should be written in the recognised scientific format (Abstract, Introduction/Literature review (including a hypothesis), Methods, Results, Discussion, Conclusion, and must contain a correctly formatted reference list.

Individuals who obtain high grades for this piece of work will be required to produce a suitably academic report that reflects an understanding of theory and research in the subject. The research must be discussed in the context of existing sports and exercise psychology literature. The content must be informed by appropriate current academic literature (i.e., peer reviewed journal articles).

Good marks will reflect
Evidence of reading beyond the sources identified
Deep knowledge and understanding of the area of research
Clarity of thought

Presentation and submission:
Please follow the guidelines in the section entitled School of Health Sport and Biosciences Guide to Assessment in your School Handbook (A Students Guide to Success in the School of Health and Bioscience) unless specifically directed otherwise by your module leader.

Word count: 600 words
If the assignment has a word count, the following rules apply:

All words within the text are to be included in the word count. Any work which does not keep within 10% of the set word count will receive a penalty, which will be a deduction of 10% of the marks originally awarded, except in cases where this would take you below the threshold mark for the

I will send data separately

Even the most superficial of presentations calls for some kind of preparation. An “elevator speech,” which summarizes a topic in minutes, if not seconds, calls for lightning thought and reflexive application of the rhetorical triangle, grammar, outlining, content knowledge, and logic as you are standing there. For more elaborate and considered presentations, you should reflect on your topic and on the implications and potential for your message. If presenting yourself, you want to be seen as a mature professional and in the best light. If presenting discipline-related material, you want to be seen as a mature and reflective professional, who has not only laid out a mechanical and logical outline of the material, but who has linked the material, with meaning, to the audience.For this Individual Project, you will create a sentence outline for a presentation and informally share your ideas for approaching the visual elements of a presentation.Using your thoughts from earlier in the course and your elevator speech ideas, create a sentence outline for a 10-minute presentation about a discipline-related topic in which you propose a small project or professional action to an audience of mid-level executives.The outline should indicate the flow and content for your anticipated presentation.Incorporate an introduction of yourself, and link your background, experience, goals, and education to the topic. Imagine that the audience has not met you or that they do not know you very well. Assume that your own strengths and abilities, including your university studies, will be key and important to the success of your proposal for the project. Be sure the outline reflects solid organization and process.

   voluntary affirmative action programs have sometimes subjected employers to charges of reverse discrimination. How can an employer strike the proper balance?

1.) Explain how you think you would react if, now or in the future, you discovered that you were infertile. What do you think you would do about having children? Would you have children or did you do to have children? Explain in detail. In addition, if you already experience this, please, explain how you reacted and what did you do about having children? Did you have children or did you not have children? Explain in detail. 2.)

Based on what you’ve read in this chapter, what might explain these differences? Explain in detail. 4.) Imagine you are looking for a new romantic relationship and you meet someone with whom you really it off. You enjoy the same activities, you share similar attitudes and beliefs, and you find each other physically and sexually attractive. As the relationship progresses and begins to grow more intimate, your new partner confides in you that he or she is transgender and has undergone sex reassignment surgery. How do you think you might react to this news? What do you think might happen from that point on in the relationship? Explain in detail.    5.) Imagine that you wake up tomorrow morning and your sexual orientation has changed (from straight to gay, from gay to straight, or from either to bisexual, etc.).
