H1: I predict that participants who hear negative perceptions of their race/ethnicity group from those outside of it will show higher levels of perceived stress, than those who hear positive perceptions of their race/ethnicity groups.
H2: I predict that negative outside perceptions of their race/ethnicity group will predict perceived social support, and the relationship will be positive.

- IV must have two levels (will check below)
- Dependent variable must be normally distributed (will check below. if issues, note and proceed)
- Variances of the two groups must be approximately equal, aka ‘homogeneity of variance’. Lacking this makes our results inaccurate (will check below - this really only applies to Student’s t-test, but we’ll check it anyway)

In the first t-test, in condition 1 we did find that our dependent variables are normally distributed (skew and kurtosis between -2 and +2). But in condition 2 we did not find that our dependent variables were normally distributed, in survey1 kurtosis is 2.35, more than the usual skew and kurtosis between -2 and +2. We also found heterogeneity in the first Levene’s test, because the results were significant (p= <.001). In the second Levene’s test we also found heterogeneity, because the results were significant (p= .038).

t-Test
We tested our two hypotheses, the first one being I predict that participants who hear negative perceptions of their race/ethnicity group from those outside of it will show higher levels of perceived stress, than those who hear positive perceptions of their race/ethnicity groups using an independent samples t-test. Our data met all of the assumptions of the first t-test, and we did find a significant difference, t(63.942)= 11.223, p= <.001, d= 2.24, 95%[1.74, 2.75] (refer to Figure 1).
For our second hypotheses which was we predict that negative outside perceptions of their race/ethnicity group will predict perceived social support, and the relationship will be positive using an independent samples t-test. Our data met all of the assumptions of the second t-test, and we did find a significant difference, t(94.713)= 2.70, p= 0.001, d= 0.54, 95%[0.14, 0.94] (refer to Figure 2).
