Student Psychological Membership and Educational Correlates
The purpose of this study is to investigate if student Psychological Membership correlates with their academic achievement. ? The idea of this proposed research is to find intervention methods if there happened to be a correlation between these two variables.
2. ? Good Afternoon to everybody. Our
presentation is only a proposal.
? It is only a very brief note on our study and we
intend to get feed back from our group
members during the discussion session
tomorrow.
? We will fine tune the proposal before we carry
out the actual research.
3. The Purpose
? The purpose of this study is to investigate if
student Psychological Membership correlates
with their academic achievement.
? The idea of this proposed research is to find
intervention methods, if there happened to be
a correlation between these two variables.

Questionnaire adopted from:
? The questionnaire will use a FIVE(5) point
Likert Scale with degrees of agreement and

measures using SPSS.
? In the first part the study will use descriptive
and inferential statistics.
11. ? In the second part, a correlation graph will be
drawn to see the strength of the correlation.
? On a further note aspects such as factor
loading and regression will be performed.
? The final part will provide a structural
Equation modelling to understand the
phenomenon in detail.
