Interpreting the results. First off, basic stats. So, from memory, everything was a significant difference except for normative commitment.
Second, as to the literature, I just did a psych report effectively, with a methods and results section. There's nowhere near enough word limit to talk too much about anything; I ended up having 2 paragraphs on each topic -- one in the intro, one in the discussion (on self-efficacy, trust, and intetn to leave). Essentially, would say what our results were, how this was supported/not supported in the literature, and if it was especially poignant, practical implications.
Glitterfairy, the paperwork they gave us should explain the stats, but it seesm to do so in a way that's clear when you know what you're talking about, and messy if you don't. Essentially, having a p vaue lower than .05 means there's a significant difference between the aspects. Significant differences in science mean there is a real difference of a detectable magnitude. Non-significant diferences (ie normative commitment from memory) are still differences, but theoretically are so small they could be due to anything else, like methodolgy, or whatever. Usually, you'd increase your sample size and the difference would become 0 in a non-significant difference. Most of the time, anyway.
Yes, they want us to attach the report to the back of the assignment. Stupid waste of paper, but they do. It's on Alan's office door. Staplers are in the psych office downstairs.
Hopfully that's help to someone, despite being quite late monday morning.
