A clinical psychologist is interested in the effect of a new treatment for treating depression. She randomly divides her clients into two groups. One group receives the new treatment and the other group receives the old treatment (control group). At the end of treatment, she assesses the severity of their depression on a scale ranging from 0 to 20 (higher scores indicate greater depression). Was there a significant difference in depression scores between the two treatments? New Treatment Old Treatment 2 7 5 10 3 6 8 8 11 4 4 8 6 10 4 4
A researcher conducts an independent-measures study examining how the brain chemical serotonin is related to aggression. One sample of rats serves as a control group and receives a placebo that does not affect normal levels of serotonin. A second sample of rats receives a drug that lowers brain levels of serotonin. Then the researcher tests the animals by recording the number of aggressive responses each of the rats display. The data are as follows.

A researcher wants to know if brighter lights make factory workers more productive. Workers in a factory are randomly assigned to two groups. One group is moved to a new factory next door, where the factory lights are brighter. The other group stays behind in the old factory. The productivity of the two groups is compared. What is the independent variable(s)? What is dependent variable(s)? What is a plausible confounding variable in this study?
W. Thomas Boyce, a professor and pediatrician at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, has studied interactions between individual differences in physiology and differences in experience in determining health and well-being. Dr. Boyce found that some children are more sensitive to their environments. They do exceptionally well when the environment is supportive but are much more likely to have mental and physical health problems when the environment has challenges. You decide to do a similar study, conducting a factorial experiment to test the effectiveness of one environmental factor and one physiological factor on a physical health outcome. As the environmental factor, you choose two levels of stressful life events. As the physiological factor, you choose three levels of immune reactivity. The outcome is number of respiratory illnesses in the previous 12 months, and the research participants are kindergartners.
A study compared different psychological therapies for teenage girls suffering from anorexia. The study employed randomization in assigning girls to one of three therapies, only one of which is considered in this example. Each girl's weight was measured before and after a period of therapy. The variable of interest was the weight change, defined as weight at the end of the study minus weight at the beginning of the study. The weight change was positive if the girl gained weight and negative if she lost weight. For each of 17 girls who received the family therapy, the changes in weight were the following. 11 11 6 8 15 -4 -2 7 23 -7 -3 12 12 8 5 6 11 Find x, s, and se. х 3 (Round to two decimal places as needed.)
