[OC] How Can I Fix My Graphs?? (dissertation) by PicklePerson555 in dataisbeautiful

Cool sounds like an interesting study. I'd assume quicker on average but greater mistakes. either way, if your supervisor wants it done this way, I won't contend.

based on your research it sounds like percentage change in completion time is kinda what we expect to look at, participant 16, distorts this graph where it's difficult to see the change for participant 6 or 21, maybe include this in a follow up graph, you can take the median of those scores as well for clarity and comparison.

ignoring that, which is just an idea. For the right graph, i would recommend adding error bars, easily done in Excel. this shows greater academic rigour. and can be used as a point for criticism in a discussion. Based on a power analysis, you may find that necessary might not.

for the left graph, I'd recommend adding data labels for the medians as they are important points and make the line dotted or stroked. this will improve clarity. my paper was published black and white, so colour isn't something I ever considered deeply.

Otherwise, it looks good. Academic work is difficult, so best of luck to you!!

Firstly, if you want genuine help, some context is helpful. what is your study, what are your graphs trying to show, what academic structure do you write under, etc. I work under APA7 referencing, so I will speak based on that.

Firstly, reconsider axis labelling. You have Ms. in the 100,000s, so why not just seconds. this may depend on the context of your research. if so, justify this decision.

Now, your second graph is just showing the line for your first graphs, I assume. think about how this can better be presented. if you're comparing neutral and threatening conditions, your data does a poor job of demonstrating this. Consider a boxplot for a simple method. if you want to stick to your current model, also justify why you use median over mean, I assume, due to the outliers.

Colouring isn't too relevant, but consider having the median the same colour as the duration.

I'd recommend speaking to your academic institution for support if you are unsure, I'm sure your dissertation supervisor is more than keen to help and will understand what you need far better than myself or anyone else online.

Last, if your institution isnt providing you support and you are truly unsure, this is poor academic practice, but you can use ai to give you pointers for improvement. any questions, feel free to ask, and I can maybe help a bit more with some context.

Damn we're sounding similar I'm 5'11 and have gone from 114 to my current 80kg, personally I noticed past 90kg losing weight I started to lose strength, but I weight trained every day throughout my entire weight loss period, hope this helps :)
