Question
Transcribed Image Text:Empathy means being able to understand what others feel. To see how the brain expresses empathy, researchers recruited 16 couples in their
midtwenties who were married or had been dating for at least two years. They zapped the man's hand with an electrode while the woman watched, and
measured the activity in several parts of the woman's brain that would respond to her own pain. Brain activity was recorded as a fraction of the activity observed
when the woman herself was zapped with the electrode. The women also completed a psychological test that measures empathy.

- A researcher is interested in hamster wheel-running activity during the summer versus the winter. She suspects that either the hamsters will run less during the winter to conserve energy or they will run more to keep warm. She records the activity of n = 25 hamsters during June, July, and August and compares their running-wheel revolutions per hour to the activity of the same hamsters during December, January, and February. The data are collected, and the results show an average difference score of MD = 5.7 and a sum of squares of SS = 2,851.44.

- A sleep researcher is assessing the impact of melatonin supplements on time to fall asleep for individuals with insomnia. She recruited 30 participants with insomnia and assigned 14 of them to take melatonin before sleeping. The researcher then recorded time to fall asleep (in minutes) for each participant. The researcher's hypothesis was that participants in the melatonin group would fall asleep faster than participants in the control group. The data collected are displayed below together with some descriptive statistics.

A professor conducted experiments with nearly 600 smartphone users in an attempt to measure how well people can complete tasks when they have their smartphones nearby even when they’re not using them. In one experiment, the researchers asked study participants to sit at a computer and perform a task that required full concentration in order to succeed. The tests were geared to measure participants’ available cognitive capacity – that is, the brain’s ability to hold and process data at any given time. Before beginning, participants were randomly instructed to place their smartphones either on the desk face down (group 1; 200 participants), in their pockets (group 2; 200 participants), or in another room (group 3; 200 participants). All participants were instructed to turn their phones to silent. The researchers found that participants with their phones in another room significantly…arrow_forwardThe following table contains the scores from a group of 1515 high school seniors on a psychological assessment of positive affect for the subject of math and their scores on the same assessment for the subject of chemistry.

- Neurologists have found that the hippocampus, a structure located in the brain, plays an important role in short-term memory. Data was collected on 21 Vietnam veterans with combat related post-traumatic stress disorder. Magnetic resonance imaging was used to measure the volume of the right hippocampus (in cubic millimeters) of each subject, while the verbal memory retention of each subject was measured by the percent retention subscale of the Wechsler Memory Scale. The least squares line relating verbal memory (y) with right hippocampal volume (x) was found to be 4 + 3x. The slope of the regression line can be interpreted in the following way: ŷ = When right hippocampal volume decreases by one cubic millimeter, the verbal memory score increases by 3%. When right hippocampal volume decreases by one cubic millimeter, the verbal memory score increases by 4%. When right hippocampal volume increases by one cubic millime decreases by 3%. the verbal memory score When right hippocampal volume…arrow_forwardA researcher is interested in hamster wheel-running activity during the summer versus the winter.

- A study in Sweden compared former elite soccer players with people of the same age who had played soccer but not at the elite level. Of the 500 former elite soccer players surveyed, 36 % had developed arthritis of the hip or knee by their mid-50s, compared with 34 % of the 500 recreational soccer players. Does it appear that elite soccer players are more likely to develop arthritis of the hip or knee than comparable recreational soccer players? Test at a = 0.05. Round your answers to three decimal places, and round any interim calculations to four decimal places. Fill in the hypotheses below where p₁ denotes the proportion of elite soccer players who develop arthritis of the hip or knee and på denotes the proportion of recreational soccer players who develop arthritis of the hip or knee.

Lyte wishes to study speed of Reaction Time to press a button in response to the onset of a lamp. The independent variable (IV) is the color of the light produced by the lamp (red, orange, yellow, green, or blue). Since only 10 participants are available, she elects to administer the IV within-subjects with all 10 participants being exposed to all five levels of the color variable. The order of the color of the light presentation is to be counterbalanced. Using concepts from the textbook, why would Dr. Lyte need to use counterbalancing in this scenario?arrow_forwardA team of government researchers would like to determine whether a new tax on cigarettes has any effect on people’s smoking behavior. Specifically, they are expecting that by increasing the price of cigarettes, people’s will buy fewer packs of cigarettes (ultimately leading to decreases in cigarette smoking). During the year before the tax was imposed, stores located in rest areas on the state highways reported selling an average of µ = 410 packs per day. The distribution of daily sales was approximately normal. For a random sample of n = 25 days during the first year following the new tax, the researchers found an average of x̅= 380 packs per day for the same stores, with a standard deviation of s = 60. Is the sample mean sufficient to conclude that there was a significant decrease in cigarette purchases after the new tax? Use a one-tailed test with α = .01.arrow_forward
