    There will be a 3–day Research Methodology Workshop to help faculty write
    papers for publication in scholarly journals and to help doctoral students
    to improve their dissertations and publish their research in scholarly
    journals.

    1. Phase 1 (April 12): Formulation of hypotheses and creative ways of
    developing psychometrically sound measures that are free from method
    variance and social desirability responding and preparing data for
    Exploratory Factor Analysis with SPSS.

    2. Phase 2 (April 13): Pearson correlations, Cronbach alpha, Regression
    Analysis, Hierarchical Regression Analysis, estimating and plotting
    interaction effects, ANOVA, and MANOVA.

    3. Phase 3 (April 14): Computing and interpreting Confirmatory Factor
    Analysis and Structural Equations Models with LISREL.

    If you want to attend this workshop, you will be required to pre-register
    for it and bring to our Skype meeting your laptop with SPSS and LISREL
    packages and the data file and questionnaires that you receive from us.
    (There will be no walk-in registration for the Workshop & is limited to 25
    professionals.)

    I will use PowerPoint presentations to show step-by-step analysis of data
    and results. We will also show you how to report results in your paper
    that you want to submit to scholarly journals for review.

    Although this workshop is for new faculty and doctoral students,
    consultants and senior scholars will find this workshop very useful to
    update their data analysis, interpretation, and reporting skills.
