Details

Fictitious data relating to a fictional questionnaire about The Teaching of Statistics for Scientific Experiments. Again, I stress that this example is fictional. I thought the name of the questionnaire would give it away, I mean, no-one is calling a questionnaire TOSSER are they? Don't email me for the questionnaire, it's all made up, you definitley don't want to base your research upon it. Imagine I wanted to revise the 'Teaching of Statistics for Scientific Experiments' (TOSSE) questionnaire, which is (I mean, it isn't because I made it up) based on Bland's theory that says that good research methods lecturers should have: (1) a profound love of statistics; (2) an enthusiasm for experimental design; (3) a love of teaching; and (4) a complete absence of normal interpersonal skills. These characteristics should be related (i.e., correlated). The revised version of this questionnaire (TOSSE – R) was given to 239 research methods lecturers to see if it supported Bland's theory. Each question was a statement followed by a five-point Likert scale: strongly disagree = 1, disagree, neither agree nor disagree, agree and strongly agree (SD, D, N, A and SA respectively). The data contains the following variables
