This is the second part of the stata assignment. The first part was done andi failed, but I have still attached it for reference. This is the feedback for the first part
“This could have been a good essay, as you identified an interesting and important question and found several journal articles as a useful starting point. Your introduction and literature review effectively motivates your research, and you write in an engaging style.
Unfortunately, however, the essay turns out to fail several basic requirements of this assignment. Firstly, you do not define your question clearly – what do you consider as microaggression? Secondly, in terms of presentation, you need to properly reference the sources you use in an academic style. You have a fairly long bibliography, but the sources you used should be referenced in-text, too. (N.B. padding the citation page.) The essay also has a tendency to use emotionally/politically charged expressions. Finally, and ultimately, this is a course on data analysis. We ask that you identify dataset(s) to answer your question and generate descriptive statistics for the variables. There is no data in this assignment, and you do not demonstrate sufficient awareness that this requirement exists.”
I have also attached instructions and everything for the second part of the assignment, titles “Long assignment”
The long assignment and the short assignment should, ideally, both be part of the same research project, and you should think of them as being different sections of the same research report.
In the long assignment, you build on the theoretical groundwork and description and assessment of the variables, data, and measures that you developed in the short assignment. The focus of the long assignment is on analysing the relationship between your independent and dependent variable.
The analysis of the relationship between the variables that you undertake in the long assignment should be rooted in the theory, literature, and causal relationship that you identified or developed in the short assignment, which should be briefly summarised at the outset of the long assignment. This summary should also reflect any updates to the theory, literature, or causal relationship that you made in response to the feedback on your short assignment. The long assignment should also explicitly state the hypothesis or hypotheses that will be tested in the analysis. The hypothesis or hypotheses should translate the general causal relationship that you are investigating into specific expectations about the relationship(s) that you expect to observe between the relevant variable measures in your data.
When testing hypothesised relationships by analysing your data, you should make use of appropriate statistical tests, based on the level of measurement of your independent and dependent variables. You may undertake multiple different statistical tests but they should all be appropriate to the variables that you are analysing. Crucially, you are required to undertake either an OLS multiple regression or a logistic regression, and your choice between the two should be based on the level of measurement of your dependent variable. When conducting your regression analysis, you should control for at least one other variable relevant to the relationship that you are investigating.
A possible structure for your long assignment is as follows (the suggested word count for each section, in parentheses, are for guidance only):
Introduction (250 words):
Include a statement of the importance of the research question
Theory and literature (500 words):
This can summarise the theory and literature presented in the short assignment, with amendments based on the feedback that you received on that work
Statement of hypotheses (150 words):
These should clearly relate to variable measures in the data
Methodology (350 words):
Offer a brief summary of the data, variables, and measures that you identified in the short assignment, and a fuller explanation of methods of analysis deployed in the long assignment
Analysis of the relationship between the independent and dependent variables (600 words):
You may include any bivariate or multivariate analysis that you wish to run, appropriate to the level of measurement of the independent and dependent variables
You should include at least one OLS multiple regression or logistic regression, reflecting the level of measurement of your dependent variable:
You may run more than one regression model, if you wish, to introduce one or more control variables and observe their effects on the relationship between the independent and dependent variable, but this is not a requirement
You may use figures to graphically present the results of your analysis, but this is also not a requirement
Interpretation and discussion of the results (400 words):
Identify the meaning of your results statistically and substantively, and relate them to your hypothesis or hypotheses
This may be a separate section or incorporated into the above analysis section, depending on your preference
Conclusion (250 words)
The above penultimate section focusing on interpretation and discussion is indicative of the fact that your analysis should not merely involve producing, presenting, and describing the results of appropriate statistical tests. You are also expected to interpret those results and discuss their meaning in relation to your hypothesis (or hypotheses), theorised causal relationship, and research question. In other words, you should write about the meaning of your statistical results and their implications for the area of, or topic within, politics or international relations that is the focus of your research. You can also consider, either in discussion or conclusion, how cautious our interpretation of the results should be. This may lead to consideration of how you could overcome the limitations of your analysis if you studied this topic again with more time and resources,
The word limit for the long assignment is 2,500 words.
Stata is a must-have for this assignment. Please read all the documents for the long assignment carefully. The long Assignment files should answer any questions, but please ask for clarification if necessary.
This is a very important assignment.
