VERY URGENT!!!!! SIMPLE STATS....cant do it. PLEASE HELP
I am creating a faux research proposal for a class and my stats background is very limited.
The study I am creating has to do with parental empathy and child's conduct.
Parental empathy is measured by coding a parent interview and dichotomizes empathy as either high empathy or low empathy.
Conduct is measured by a teacher questionnaire and is again dichotomized, high conduct problems with low conduct problems.
What statistical test should I use to compare these two dichotomized variables?

Maybe give some free advice about: School?
I would love to help you with this but I have no idea of what this is. I thank you for coming to me with this question because I enjoy a challenge, I suggest that you go on google and compare answers to get the best outcome. Thank you so much for your time and I am very sorry that I could not help.

Well first, your stats have to be accurate, so whatever you choose must be backed up with information and examples to make it correct. Perhaps something like, "statistics show, that one out of every three parents do not show the proper empathy level" or "two out of every three parents leans towards sympathy over empathy." It all depends on how your interviews go and what your statistics come up to, but you should also compare yours with statistics on the matter on the Internet. You could also go the percentage route, like "most children grow up with only 3 out of 10% empathy from their parent(s)" or "60% of kids get little to no empathy from parental supervisors and-" something like that. I'm pretty sure the empathy level for most of parents is very slim.
Hope this helps~

I am not one good at doing stats, but just the idea of parents empathy for their childs conduct makes me think of what kids go through to feel accepted and liked by others. Parent were teens once too but today teens try stuff wilder than when we were teens. If a parent can think back to the basics of how they feel, wanting to be accepted, having low self esteem, shy, etc. then we can find ways to empathize with kids coloring their hair spring green/baby blue, getting a mohawk, multiple body piercings, having sex at earlier ages....the list goes on. WHile its not what we or our friends were doing at the same age, we can emphatize. If you can use questions based around that scenerio, you may be able to get a test to work.

Hi, maths is not a strong subject for me but I have found this simplified guide for statistical testing. It is in a pdf format but there are free add-ons online to convert these to word should you need it.
I hope it is of some use.
