Oishi and schimmack (2010) reportthe people who move from the home to home frequently as children tend to have lower than average levels of well-being as adults. to further examine this relationship a psychologist obtains a sample of n =12 young people adults who each experience five or more different homes before they were 16 years old. these participants were given a standard well-being questionnaire for which the general population has an average score of u =40. The well-being scores for this sample are as follows: 38, 37, 41, 35, 42, 40, 33, 33, 36, 38, 32, 39 a) on the basis of this sample is well-being for frequent movers significantly different from well-being is a general population?  use a two tailed test with a = .05. b) compute the estimated Cohen's d to measure the size of the difference.  c) write a sentence showing how the outcome of the hypothesis test and the measure of effect size would appear in a research report.

Read the scenario below to determine which one of the time threats to internal validity (test reactivity, instrumentation, history, and maturation) is of most concern, and provide one way to control for the threat. A researcher examines students' perception of their body image by conducting a 2-year longitudinal study of middle-school students (grades 6 - 8).  Body image is measured using a scale and the same scale is measured under the same conditions at the beginning and end of the study.

st is 22. Oishi and Shigehiro (2010) report that people who move from home to home frequently as children tend to have lower than average levels of well-being as adults. To further examine this relationship, a psychologist obtains a sample of n = 12 young adults who each experienced 5 or more different homes before they were 16 years old.

Computer-mediated communication (CMC) is a form of interaction that heavily involves technology (e.g., instant messaging, email). A study was conducted to compare relational intimacy in people interacting via CMC to people meeting face-to-face (FTF).   Participants were 48 undergraduate students, of which half were randomly assigned to the CMC group and half assigned to the FTF group. The variable of interest, relational intimacy score, was measured (on a 7-point scale) for each participant after each of three different meeting sessions. Summary statistics for the first meeting session are given here. The researchers hypothesized that, after the first meeting, the mean relational intimacy score for participants in the CMC group would be lower than the mean relational intimacy score for participants in the FTF group. Test the researchers’ hypothesis using α = .10.                                                                     CMC                                           FTF Number…

In the NFL, Coaches can throw "challenge" flags if they believe officials have made an incorrect call on the field. Then, based upon further analysis, the call is either overturned (because the referees were incorrect) or upheld (referees were correct). In the first eight weeks of last NFL season, there were 316 challenges made, with 154 of those calls overturned. The NFL team owners used this data to begin a lawsuit that claimed referees were wrong more than 50% of the time in challenged situations. They want to perform statistical analysis before filing that lawsuit. For the following question, select the answer which correctly responds. 0.50

A researcher uses matched-subjects design to investigate whether single people with pets vary in their happiness level compared to singles without pets. A mood inventory survey is given to a group of 20- to 29-year-old non-pet owners and a similar age group of pet owners. The pet owners are matched one to one with the non-pet owners for income, number of close friendships, and general health. Is there a significant difference in the mood scores for non-pet owners versus pet owners. Test with a =.05 for two tails.

In a study examining the effect of humor on interpersonal attractions, McGee and Shevlin (2009) foundthat a man’s sense of humor had a significant effect onhow he was perceived by women. In the study, femalecollege students were given brief descriptions of a potential romantic partner and then rated the attractivenessof the male on a scale from 1 (low) to 7 (high). Thefictitious male was described positively as being single,ambitious, and having good job prospects. In one condition, the description also said that he had a great senseof humor. The results showed that the description wasrated significantly higher when “a sense of humor” wasincluded. To further examine this effect, a researcherselected a sample of n = 16 college males and askedthem to read a brief description of a female and thenrate the attractiveness of the woman in the description.The description had been used in previous research butwas modified by adding a statement describing a goodsense of humor. Based on the…
