Worked for Rachel again. I made and sent out thank you cards to the last participants. I then worked on researching some articles and journals on construction play, loose parts play, and tinkering. I was looking at benefits for the use of these in children's play and in what ways they may have benefited the children. I found about six articles and e-mailed them to rachel, and hopefully they are what she needs.

Today I worked for Rachel again on the PDEF study. I tried calling some families to schedule appt for the research study and fortunately got two families for her, which was what she needed. I then worked on researching and downloading the PDF's of certain articles she was looking for. I found a little over half of them, (sent them to Rachel via email!) Hope these help her studies!

Today I worked on the EFPT2 and PDEF studies for Rachel. I just finished up the reliability coding for both studies. I also worked on calling families, though the time slot I was in was not a good time to call. I tried about 15-18 families and I only got responses from 2, who couldn't do the study. I also worked on researching some references for Rachel that she wanted to look at. I'll probably be in friday around 12 or 1.

Today I worked on some data entry for Rachels older study, the EFPT2 study. I don't know much about the study but I was just finishing some missing data that had not been entered previously. I mainly did the CBQ scale which was familiar because that was also used in the PDEF study, which I mainly helped with this semester. It was interesting to see how parents rate their kids so differently on the scale. Some stay within the 2-4 range for most questions, while others will answer mostly 1's or 7's. Other than that, I entered the rest of the demographic information for the participants as well as some missing role play interview data.
Today I worked on the PDEF study for Rachel as usual. I was working on the reliability SPSS for the EF scale. A couple of days earlier I had worked on entering the reliability portion, and today I went an worked on entering the original data. As I was going through, I realized that some of the data was missing. When I was finished entering in all of the data, I also went back and compared the original to the reliability form to search for any errors. There were a couple, but most looked good. Hopefully this keeps the study reliable and the data as accurate as possible. I also called to confirm the appointment for Monday.
Today I came in and double checked that all the reliability EF scale information was entered into the PDEF database. It was, so I asked Josh to see if he needed help with anything. He had me enter in infant information for the calling lists. I did this the rest of the time I was in. I was surprised by how small some of the premies were! One was only 3 pounds at birth!
Today I worked on the PDEF study for Rachel. I created a new SPSS database for checking the reliability of the EF scale scoresheets. Once created, I went through and entered all the data for approximately 25 of the folders that Rachel had asked me to do. There were two, however, that did not have the green reliability EF scale scoresheet and must have just gotten mixed into the other 25. Hopefully this helped make sure the reliability of the data, which is extremely important.
