Project One involved analyzing survey data using descriptive statistics and data visualization techniques. I created graphs to represent both qualitative and quantitative variables, including a pie chart and histogram, and interpreted measures such as the mean and frequency distributions. The goal was to communicate findings about social class and empathy levels in a clear and accessible way for a general audience. 

In Project Two, I conducted a linear regression analysis to examine the relationship between attitudes toward conservatives and beliefs about same-sex marriage. I interpreted key statistical outputs such as the slope, p-value, and r² to determine the strength and significance of the relationship. This project demonstrates my ability to analyze and explain correlational data, as well as recognize the limitations of statistical findings when explaining complex social attitudes. 

 Through Project One, I developed a better understanding of how to form research questions, create hypotheses, and select appropriate methods and measures. This deepened my knowledge of how psychological studies are built. 

Project Two built on that knowledge by requiring me to analyze a completed study, including its design, results, and limitations. This helped me better understand how people’s thoughts and behaviors can be influenced by factors like power, as well as how researchers measure those effects.
