Essay / Research Paper Abstract
It may be argued that cross cultural competence is essential in social work. This 6 page paper outlines the statistical tests and looks at questionnaires that may be used to assess the level of awareness in social workers and consider how they would be distributed. Some fictitious results are shown to demonstrate the presentation. The bibliography cites 5 sources.

sent out to 500 potential respondents. The questionnaires will be based on the collecting of quantitative data which can be coded and then analysed with the use of statistical analysis
to identify trends and patters, biases in those partners and well as the identify the presence of correlation between different factors. The data will initially be analysed to ensure
that the sample is representative of the population being studied which is important for validity purposes (Dancy and Reid, 2003). The data will be based on self assessment and reflect
experience practices and personal opinion. The guarantee of anonymity will help to ensure that accurate responses are given. The use of statistical biases, as well as means and medians and
the level of skew will help to describe the underlying practices that are present within the population to give a good foundation for the current position and will be used
to explore the first hypothesis which is a general statement (Denzin, 1978). The second hypothesis will then be tested with data
from the questionnaire. This involves looking at the correlation between time served and level of awareness of cultural issues. There are several approaches we can use, such as the paired
T-Test, however, in this case as we would usually expect to find a normal distribution and the sample may be divided into segments according to time served then we will
use a Chi squared test (Curwin and Slater, 2000) The results will then be explored further with qualitative reseach undertaken by way of a interview scenario with focus groups, where
the results are recorded for later coding. This will be used to further explore the results of the quantitative reseach as well as to explore the relationship if any correlation
