A group of psychologists recently examined the how odor influences emotion between male and female. Three groups of participants (half male, half female) were first subjected to different types of smell (pleasant, neutral, and unpleasant), and then filled out questionnaire of happiness. The data present the pattern of results obtained in the study, with higher scores indicating a higher level of happiness   Odor   pleasant neutral unpleasant Male n = 5 n = 5 n = 5 M = 8 M = 7 M = 0 SS = 6 SS = 5 SS = 4 Female n = 5 n = 5 n = 5 M = 7 M =2 M = 0 SS = 6 SS = 4 SS = 6 Note: grand mean =4   A) Conduct a hypotheses testing with α = .05 to evaluate the main effects and interactions (follow the four-step procedure).

Research indicates that stress levels are lowered when petting a dog. . A mood inventory questionnaire is administered to a group of 20-29 - year olds with no do present in the room, and again a month later the same mood questionnaire is administered to the same people with a dog present in the room. Is there a significant difference in the mood scores for when the dog was present or not? Test with a = .05 for two tails.   Person No Dog in Room Dog in Room A 12 14 B 8 7 C 10 13 D 9 9 E 7 13 F 10 12

A researcher wants to test a new memory performance supplement that has shown some promise in primate studies where subjects were given the supplement followed by the task of identifying pictures of other animals three days later. The dependent variable was measured by the number of pictures correctly identified. The researchers noticed that while there was a positive correlation between the group given the supplement and number of correctly identified pictures as compared to the control group, they also notice that there seemed to be some variation between the males and females of the primates. Additionally, two different amounts of the drug have been proposed for consideration. Therefore, in the current study, the researchers want to divide the subject primates (N=60) by gender (male: n=30; female: n=30), and give them a 10 mg dose in one treatment condition, and a 25 mg dose in the other treatment condition. To do this, they are dividing each group of males and females in half, and…

A poll was conducted to investigate opinions about global warming. The respondents who answered yes when asked if there is solid evidence that the earth is getting warmer were then asked to select a cause of global warming. The results are given in the accompanying data table. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the sex of the respondent is independent of the choice for the cause of global warming. Do men and women appear to agree, or is there a substantial difference? Human activity Natural patterns Don't know 307 Male 139 60 Female 327 158 59 Click here to view the chi-square distribution table. Identify the null and alternative hypotheses. Ho: The sex of the respondent and the choice for the cause of global warming are independent. The sex of the respondent and the choice for the cause of global warming are dependent. Compute the test statistic. (Round to three decimal places as needed.)

Below is data from a study examining the effects of two different psychotherapy treatments on self-esteem. Specifically, two different treatment types (treat1 and treat2) were compared to a waiting list control group in terms of increasing self-esteem; the main question concerned whether each separate therapy type was different from no treatment at all. The values shown below are the self-esteem scores for the participants in each group (higher values indicate greater self-esteem). a. What are the null and alternative hypotheses? b. If there are differences between the groups, be specific with respect to which groups differ

A study by Bettmann (2007) published in the Journal of the American Psychoanalytic Association assessed whether the attachment relationships between adolescents and their parents changed as a result of a residential wilderness treatment experience for the adolescents. Participants completed the Adolescent Attachment Questionnaire at the start and at the end of the wilderness program. Which statistical test should be used to determine whether the wilderness treatment affected attachment relationships? a. dependent-samples t test b. z test c. independent samples t-test d. one-sample t test

A researcher gathered a sample of participants who volunteered for a studying of phobias. She measured anxiety level of participants as they viewed photos of spiders and again when they viewed puppies. Which statistical test is appropriate for this study and why?

Researchers investigate how the presence of cell phones influence the quality of human interaction.  Subjects are randomly selected from a population and divided into an experimental group that is asked to leave their phones in the front of the room and a control group that are not asked to leave their cell phones at the front of the room.  Subjects are left alone for 10 minutes and then asked to take a survey designed to measure quality of interactions they had with others in the experiment.  What statistical test is appropriate?
