What statistical analyses do I use for my Psych research proposal paper?

I'm writing a psychology research proposal paper on the effect of parental harsh discipline on the development of childhood OCD and i'm totally stuck on what statistical analyses to use. I thought at first to just use a linear regression model or quasi-experimental but I'm not sure that's right. If anyone has advice on how I could test my hypothesis and which analyses to pick I'd REALLY appreciate it, thanks!!!

I did a report similar to this in a counseling class. What I did was design a questionnaire for my target group, had them fill it out, and then compiled the data into a report based on my findings.





You might want to do the same. Find a group of parents who have or had children with OCD and design a questionnaire for them. This will serve as an actual statistical analysis and not something you read out of a book. Your instructor may find that to be impressive.
Reply:A good software to use is SPSS, not sure if you have it or not. With the subject matter, linear sounds good - if you need a subject, let me know. I had serious OCD as a kid - we all get into the field for one reason or another ;)
