My Last Victim

Yes, it's true. Today I found the final subject, or rather victim, for my research project! By the end of this week I will officially be done testing (unless the data tells me I need more people) and will begin an entirely new level of data analysis, in addition to the things I have already been doing in SPSS and Excel.  But, that's really my only news for today, other than the fact that I spent a greater part of the afternoon writing a code to understand all of the variables and headings in the SPSS and Excel data. I basically created a list of all of the variable abbreviations we've been using and wrote down and explained what they meant so that if we don't see the data for a while we won't forget what all of the headings mean. Dr. Bopp read about this idea in an SPSS manual and we both felt that this was a such a great idea since we have so many headings that have been shortened and we are looking at so many things; it can be easy to forget everything! But other than that, things were business as usual in the office and I'm eager to finish up testing subjects over the next two days. Looking forward to the weekend as well!
