t has been suggested that gossiping about others may affect how likeable you are. Two groups of participants are asked to read a vignette describing a fictional person. They are then asked to rate how much they would like the person described in the vignette on a continuous scale from 1-15, where higher scores represent a higher likability. The first group of participants (n=20) reads a vignette describing a person that frequently gossips and obtains an average likability score of (M1) with a variance of (S12). The second group of different participants (n=20) reads a vignette describing a person that never gossips and obtains an average likability score of (M2) with a variance of (S22). Given that there is not much research in this area, test the hypothesis that gossiping impacts likability at an alpha=0.05. 1, Are the results you obtained meaningful? report the results here for your effect size showing all your work and your interpretation 2.

Question

t has been suggested that gossiping about others may affect how likeable you are. Two groups of participants are asked to read a vignette describing a fictional person. They are then asked to rate how much they would like the person described in the vignette on a continuous scale from 1-15, where higher scores represent a higher likability. The first group of participants (n=20) reads a vignette describing a person that frequently gossips and obtains an average likability score of (M₁) with a variance of (S₁²). The second group of different participants (n=20) reads a vignette describing a person that never gossips and obtains an average likability score of (M₂) with a variance of (S₂²). Given that there is not much research in this area, test the hypothesis that gossiping impacts likability at an alpha=0.05.
