Question
- 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, higher score indicating a higher level of happiness.
- Conduct a hypothesis testing with α = .05 to evaluate the main effects and interactions (follow the four-step procedure).(15 points, be careful with the computation)
- Calculate the effect size (partial η2) for the main effects and the interaction. (2 points)
- Report your results in APA style (2 points)

- A sports psychologist studied the effect of a motivational program on number of injuries in one year among players of three different sports (baseball, football, and basketball). Players were randomly assigned to one of two conditions: either participate in a motivational program or none (control). Data was collected on the number of injuries sustained by each athlete that season. Question: If p = .024 for the main effect of sports, what should the researcher conclude?arrow_forwardA 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…arrow_forwardThe authors of a research article were interested in the effect on female viewers of watching movies in which female heroines were portrayed in roles that focus on their sex appeal. They carried out an experiment in which female college students were assigned at random to one of two experimental groups. The 24 women in one group watched 13 minutes of scenes from a certain superhero film series and then responded to a questionnaire designed to measure body esteem. Lower scores on this measure correspond to lower body satisfaction. The 27 women in the other group (the control group) did not watch any video prior to responding to the questionnaire measuring body esteem. For the women who watched the video, the mean body esteem score was 4.44 and the standard deviation was 1.02. For the women in the control group, the mean body esteem score was 5.07 and the standard deviation was 0.98. For purposes of this exercise, you may assume that the distribution of body esteem scores for each of the…arrow_forward
- Recent research is exploring ways to use virtual reality (VR) to help people in a variety of ways. In one published study, researchers examined whether VR could help people get over the discomfort they feel after riding rollercoasters. Participants whose lifelong dreams were to ride rollercoasters without feeling noxious were recruited to participate in the research. Some participants were randomly assigned into the control group, where no VR treatment was provided before riding the rollercoaster (instead, they received an encouraging pep talk from the experimenter). The rest of the participants were put in the treatment group, where they first put on a VR headset and experienced a virtual rollercoaster before riding the real thing. After both groups of participants completed the rollercoaster ride, both survey and physiological measures were collected. The subjective and objective measures for each participant were summed to create a discomfort index, which ranges from scores of 1…arrow_forwardA researcher gathered a sample of participants who volunteered for a studying of phobias.

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.

- A study was done comparing the effectiveness of exercise vs medication on loweringblood pressure in patients with high blood pressure. Two hundred subjects wererandomly assigned to two groups. One group was instructed to exercise according tostrict schedule, and the other group was given medication to take. After 3 months,the researchers compared the change in blood pressure between the groups and foundthat the exercise groups experienced a greater drop in blood pressure on average.a. Is this an observational study or an experimental study?b. Explain why a blind study would be difficult to do in this situation.arrow_forwardQ1: Placebo effect of exercise In a high-profile research study, Crum and Langer (2007) performed an experiment to test whether the relationship between physical exercise and health is impacted by one's mindset: in other words, if there is any "placebo effect" of exercise. A sample of 84 randomly selected hotel workers in the United States were placed either into a treatment group (n=44) or control group (n=40) depending on which hotel they worked at. The treatment group was given information demonstrating how their work is good physical exercise, while the control group was not given this information. They measured the body mass index (BMI) for each worker before the experiment and again four weeks after the experiment. a. Are the treatment group and control group independent of each other, and if so why? b. Now consider the treatment group alone: are the measurements of BMI taken before and after the experiment independent of each other, and if so why? c. What is the most appropriate…arrow_forwardThe authors of a research article were interested in the effect on female viewers of watching movies in which female heroines were portrayed in roles that focus on their sex appeal.

The sample was used to investigate the efficacy of the advertising campaign. One of the variables measured was whether the business was considering becoming a client of the bank. Of the businesses sampled, 50 of the 300 businesses reported that they were considering becoming a client of the bank. A hypothesis test was conducted to determine if this provides evidence that less than 20% of all businesses were considering becoming a client of the bank.

The data provided include responses from mothers to two items in this survey. The first variable represents a household's access to food: food secure, mildly food insecure, moderately food insecure, or severely food insecure. The second variable represents the mothers' responses when asked whether they use soap when washing clothes. These researchers wish to study if there is a relationship between washing habits and food security. Are the conditions for a chi-square test of independence met?
