Data Analysis (to be updated)

The choice of data analysis methods must refer back to your research questions. 

Common approaches:

1. Statistical Analysis - for numeric evidence as support 
2. Interpretation of interview transcripts - using texts (e.g. interpretation of interview transcripts).
3. Mean - for continuous data (e.g. score in the competition). The initial tests are carried out to compare different groups of participants, to see where there is a significant differences (in terms of score) between them or not before the competition. 
4. Chi square test - to see whether specific samples drawn from a population can represent the whole population or not.
5. SPSS is just a software to speed up calculation.
