  • “Building Sustainable Communities: A Preliminary Model for Community Capacity in the Face of a Perfect Storm” “Correlation Analysis: Investigating the Relationship between X and Y Variables” Introduction: Correlation analysis is a statistical method used to measure the strength and direction of the relationship between two variables. It helps to identify whether there is a positive, negative,

    Sustainable communities are the product of strategic decisions,
    actions and investments guided by an underlying theory that can be tested through
    empirical evidence and adjusted (Bridge between Theory and Practice) to more
    accurately reflect reality.  Models are
    often contextual in nature and must either, be modified for each context or
    model builders must strive for generalizability.  For the third paper, you are part of a policy
    team that advises key community leaders and public officials of the Wichita-Sedgwick
    County region on the Preliminary Model for
    Building Community Capacity in preparation for the Perfect Storm. The
    intent of the policy team is to test the proposed model and to provide insight
    about possible actions and investments consistent with a sustainable community. 
    General Guidelines
    Product 1: Executive
    Summary (10 points) (2 double spaced pages)
    Includes a blended
    presentation of the most important evidence from the readings and findings
    Presents the implications
    of the papers in a clear and readable format for those who have not read
    the body of the paper
    The information flows and is easy to read
    without a background in statistics
    Product 2: Issues and
    Policy Section (35 points) (5 double spaced pages)
    Easy to read from
    perspective of the target audience (elected public officials)
    Logic and flow are
    extremely important
    Does not use 1st
    person in the discussion
    Provides a comprehensive
    discussion of the most important subjects from the readings and class
    discussion based on the purpose of the research
    Discussion points toward
    the data
    Properly reference all
    materials used to write the paper using the reference style discussed in
    the instructions for the paper
    Limited number of quotes
    that are properly referenced
    Discusses the most
    important concepts as they relate to the measures in the findings
    Includes discussion of
    readings from previous papers
    Includes findings from
    previous papers and appropriate references (Your last name and the year)
    Reintroduce the “public
    interest” (approximately 1 page) (Model component)
    Reintroduce neighborhoods/development
    (approximately 1 page) (Model component)
    Product 3: Findings
    and the Overall Model Section (35 points) (5 double spaced pages)
    Discussion is related to
    the “Issues and Policy Section”
    Describes what the
    findings mean to preliminary model for building community capacity
    Discussion is
    comprehensive but does not bore the reader with unimportant details
    Flow is important and
    discussion should be written concept by concept rather than table by table
    Do Not include copies of
    the tables in the paper
    Indicate where a table
    belongs in the body of the text “(Table 1 About Here)”
    Calculation Section (5

    ·     
    Provides calculations
    ·     
    Provides a conceptual description of the logic
    behind the statistic using the example
    Use to Calculate the Correlation Coefficient –Describe conceptually Pearson’s Correlation and calculate the Pearson’s correlation coefficient for cases using the scores on Performance-based trust (TRUSTP, 7 items, unweighted) and the Public Interest Index (COMIDX, 11 items, unweighted) on cases 1-7.
