You should get a psychology textbook based on coursework, there are lots around and they tell you how to do a test, and which statistical test applies to your coursework. I.e is it nominal data etc...

TheWolf.. if you don't have a clue about what she is on about, don't post - simple as.

emmz: For my Alturism coursework, I did a Chi² statistical test.. but others I know did Spearmans Rank, Mann Whitney U Test etc.. You will need to assess what groups design you used, how many groups of partcipants there were, whether data was ordinal etc.. If you have no idea what I'm talking about.. speak to your teacher at once.

also you should have a look on the AQA website, there may be relavant info in what you should have in your coursework.
