In Week 4, you will implement an element of the plan you proposed in Week 3.

As a reminder, here are the details of this program:

· The training is required and will take place quarterly.

· During the other eight months of the year, all employees must complete one training credit per month from a selection of full- and half-credit training options. Full-credit trainings will take about four hours to complete, and half-credit trainings will take about two hours. 

· This new policy takes effect in the next quarter, and the first training covers the training program itself. A website listing available trainings will be available at the beginning of the upcoming quarter. (You can use the URL abccorp.com/trainings in your assignment if you like, but this is not a working link.) 

· Interested employees can propose trainings that they will design and present, for which they can also receive training credit. A full credit is given for the initial design and presentation, and a half-credit will be given each additional time the training is presented. Employee-designed trainings may not be offered more than once per quarter. The link to propose a training is at the bottom of the training catalog website.

For this assignment, you may develop a video, interactive, animation, infographic, or other product that is not primarily text-based. The message should explain some element or elements of the training program. Some technology tools to consider are PowerPoint, Canva, Screencast-o-matic, Adobe Express or, if you have an iPhone or iPad, Apple Clips or Keynote. You can find support materials for using these tools in the recommended resources for this week. It is also acceptable to use tools not listed here. Exactly what you do for this assignment will vary depending on your goal and tool, and you can view a sample of the assignment here.

Your plan should include

·  Details where the digital asset you create fits into the larger plan. It is acceptable to include copied content from your Week 3 assignment for this part of the assignment.

· Talk about your process and experience in creating your digital asset, including identification of the tool or tools you used to create it.

The text content you submit should be the equivalent of a 1-to-2-page assignment. 

It is expected you will spend 5 to 10 hours planning and creating your digital asset. If you are spending much less time than that, it will likely affect your grade. 

 

Compute the Total Grit Score Now that you have the reverse-scored items, you can compute the total Grit Scale score:

3.1. Go to “Transform” > “Compute Variable.”

3.2. Enter a name for the new variable, such as “Total_Grit_Score.”

3.3. In the “Numeric Expression” box, add up the reverse-scored items (e.g., GS1r + GS4r + GS6r + GS9r + GS10r + GS12r).

3.4. Divide the sum by 12 (the number of items) to calculate the mean Grit Score (e.g., / 12).

3.5. Click “OK” to create the new variable.

3.6. To obtain mean, standard deviation (SD), skewness, and kurtosis of the Total Grit Score variable, go to “Analyze” > “Descriptive Statistics” > “Descriptives.” Select “Total_Grit_Score” as the variable and check the boxes for “Mean,” “Std. Deviation,” “Skewness,” and “Kurtosis.”

3.7. Click “OK” to generate the descriptive statistics.

Step 4: Create a Figure for Grit Score Distribution To create a figure displaying the distribution of the Total Grit Score:

4.1. Copy the histogram or boxplot of the Total Grit Score to your Word document.

Step 5: Write a Verbal Summary In your Word document, write a verbal summary of your findings. Include the following:

4a. Summarize the results of the demographic variable analysis, describing the descriptive statistics and the distribution of each variable. Also, provide the mean and SD for the Total Grit Score and comment on its distribution (normality).

4b. Interpret the values found in the analyses, considering how the sample compares to the general population or other relevant populations. Mention any critiques or limitations of the data collection process.

Step 6: APA Formatting Make sure to format your table headings and figure captions according to current APA guidelines.

Once you’ve completed all these steps, you should have a comprehensive SPSS assignment that meets the requirements outlined in your instructions.
