How do people’s attitudes, perceptions and behaviors about social justice relate to their lived experiences?
This a research paper using empirical research, and survey collected data to find correlations between different variables. All the data and analysis I will provide, as well as 2 of the 8 resources needed. 6 of the resources must be empirical articles (the 2 I’ve provided are included). 2 other sources do not have to be empirical, but must be reputable.
Hypothesis One: People who experience high amounts of racial discrimination will be less likely to hold racial biases. Correlation between racial discrimination and racial bias.
Hypothesis Two: Correlation hypotheses between Perceived Stress (PSS) measured using Perceived Stress Scale Link, 10 items; 0 = Never, 1 = Almost Never, 2 = Sometimes, 3 = Fairly Often, 4 = Very often. The lowest possible score is 0, and the highest score outcome is 40. And Self-Esteem measured using Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSE), 10 items; 1 = Strongly agree, 2 = Agree, 3 = Disagree, 4 = Strongly Disagree. Lowest score is 10, highest score is 40.
Hypothesis 3: Gender, male/female & perceived stress. Perceived Stress (PSS) measured using Perceived Stress Scale Link, 10 items; 0 = Never, 1 = Almost Never, 2 = Sometimes, 3 = Fairly Often, 4 = Very often. The lowest possible score is 0, and the highest score outcome is 40. T-test hypothesis between Gender and Perceived Stress. (I have already computed the data table that I can attached the table).
