For the fourth section of your Results section (i.e., significance tests):

The type of tests you choose to run to test for significance will depend on the type of variables you are using, continuous or categorical. Here's a video about variable types: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CNW9txOMYAg. 

(1) Independent samples t-test: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vtkW1il7kRc&feature=BFa&list=ULrM-yPWI6zgo&lf=mfu_in_order

(2) Correlation: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cNrnSEWKJgg&feature=related and also http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bl62NKXAe8w&feature=BFa&list=ULkMpty0exwHo&lf=mfu_in_order 

Here also is a video on how to interpret the correlation coefficient (significance, sign, and size!): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jf-SIOFUuEo.

(3) Crosstab w/chi square: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ahs8jS5mJKk
