Kim and Park (2014). Attitudes toward Suicide. Kim and Park (2014) conducted a between subjects study with three groups (Non-Korean students in US; Korean students in the US; and Korean students in Korea) and two genders (male and female). The total number of participants in the study = 361. A series of two-way 3 x 2 between subjects ANOVAs with 3 participant groups and 2 genders (male or female) were run to determine if there were significant differences between groups with regard to attitudes about suicide. Attitudes included: that suicide is 1) permissible, 2) unpredictable, 3) preventable, and 4) it is right to try to prevent suicide.
Review the data in the attachment below and write the findings of the study in APA format using these data. Hint: Determine if there were any main effects and interactions that demonstrated significance and present those findings. Include the effect sizes. Then discuss the post hoc findings of the significant findings. Include in your discussion of the post hoc findings the significance, and the means and standard deviations of the groups that were significantly different. You can also include discussion of the main effects and interactions that were not significant
Explanation / Answer
Consistent with the hypothesis that the groups would differ in their attitudes toward suicide, the results revealed statistically significant main effects of group for six of the eight factors. The results of the ANOVAs revealed that the groups did not significantly differ for incomprehensibility and relation-caused. The main effect of gender was not significant for any of the domains except for right to prevent. The interaction of group and gender was not significant for any of the attitudes toward suicide.
Tukey Honestly Significant Difference Test were used to further examine the six factors for which group had a significant main effect. For permissiveness, Korean students in Korea had a significantly higher mean than Non-Korean students in the United States, p=.003. For unpredictability, Non-Korean students had a significantly higher mean than Korean students in Korea, p<.001. For noncommunication, Korean students in the United States had a significantly higher mean than Korean students in Korea, p=.005. For right to prevent, Non-Korean students had a significantly higher mean than Korean students in Korea, p<.001. Korean students in the United States also had a significantly higher mean than Korean students in Korea, p=.026. For preventability, Korean students in the United States had a significantly lower mean on preventability than Non-Korean students in the United States, p=.004. Finally, for duration of suicidal process, Korean students in Korea had a significantly higher mean than Korean students in the United States, p=.029.
