1. A researcher is interested in examining the relationship between life satisfaction and job satisfaction. Life satisfaction is measured using the “Life-Is-Good Scale” and job satisfaction is measured using the “Happy-

Employee Scale.” Each measure is on an interval scale of measurement. What steps should be taken to prepare the data and examine the properties of the responses to these measures? This researcher is particularly concerned that the data will not be normally distributed. What techniques could he or she use to examine this? To examine the relationship between these variables, which statistical analyses could be used? Now assume that the job satisfaction scale is not on an interval scale of measurement. In this case, what analyses could the researcher use?

Before the researcher starts this study, what should he or she do to enhance the likelihood of finding a relationship using the analyses you have selected? Outline all of the steps you would take to answer these questions.
