Task 2: The University of Sussex constantly seeks to employ the best people possible as lecturers.

They wanted to revise the ‘Teaching of Statistics for Scientific Experiments’ (TOSSE)

questionnaire, which is 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 University revised this questionnaire to become the ‘Teaching of Statistics for Scientific Experiments – Revised’ (TOSSE-R; Figure 18.18). They gave this questionnaire to 239 research methods lecturers to see if it supported Bland’s theory. Conduct a factor analysis (with appropriate rotation) and interpret the factor structure (TOSSE-R.sav).
