Tim is interested in studying whether Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is an effective treatment for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). Six people who were diagnosed with OCD participated in Tim's study, where he recorded the number of times they washed their hands per day for one month. They were then given a three week intensive CBT program before their hand-washing was monitored for another month. The average number of times per day each participant washed their hands over the two months of observation are as follows:

Some studies have found that social media helps people stay connected to others, and can be a positive source of social support. Other studies have found that social media makes people feel lonely and unhappy. I decide to do my own study to see whether social media has an effect on how many close friends people have. I conduct an internet survey of 1000 people and ask them how many hours a week they spend on social media and how many close friends they have. In the study respondents spent 10 hours a week using social media, and had 4 close friends, on average. The standard deviations for social media usage and close friends were 4 hours and 2 friends, respectively. The correlation (r) between social media and friends was -.3.arrow_forwardThe authors of a paper describe an experiment to evaluate the effect of using a cell phone on reaction time.

- Do people feel hungrier after sampling a healthy food? The authors of a consumer research paper carried out a study to answer this question. They randomly assigned volunteers into one of three groups. The people in the first group were asked to taste a snack that was described as a new health bar containing high levels of protein, vitamins, and fiber. The people in the second group were asked to taste the same snack but were told it was a tasty chocolate bar with a raspberry center. After tasting the snack, participants were asked to rate their hunger level on a scale from 1 (not at all hungry) to 7 (very hungry). The people in the third group were asked to rate their hunger but were not given a snack. The data in the table are consistent with summary quantities given in the paper (although the sample sizes in the actual study were larger).

Participants included children diagnosed with autism and typically- developing children, who were all approximately the same age. All children were presented with several different stimuli on a large computer screen for up to one minute. The stimuli were both social (i.e., people’s faces) and nonsocial (inanimate objects). The percentage of time children spent looking at the two types of stimuli was recorded (ranging from 0 to 100). Consider the graphs shown for a study about blaming the victim. a.

- You wish to determine the impact expressive writing has on days spent in the hospital for elderly adults. However, it is difficult to estimate the population average of days spent in the hospital. Thus, we recruit 14 elderly adults and randomly assigned half to either write expressively about their most traumatic life event or to write about their plans for that day- both groups write 20-minute essays four days in a row and six months later are asked how many days they have spent in the hospital.

We define hypertension as being above the 95th percentile for either systolic blood pressure (SBP) or diastolic blood pressure (DBP) among children of the same age, height, and sex. Since some of the children were observed at multiple visits, a GEE model was run of hypertension on ethnic group. There were three ethnic groups considered: Caucasian, African American, and Hispanic. The results among boys are given in Table 13.54.

- In a recent study on American sleep habits, 1300 adults were asked questions about their sleep cycles. The study found that 39 % say they get sleepy on the job and their work suffers at least a few days each month. An additional 21 % said the problems occur a few days each week and 9 % say sleepiness on the job is a daily occurrence. For the remaining respondents, sleepiness was not a problem at all.

Customers were observed driving into a local convenience store. After the drivers left their cars, the student asked each driver several questions about seat belt use. In all, 80% of the drivers said that they always use seat belts. However, the student observed that only 61.5% of these same drivers were actually wearing a seat belt when they pulled into the store parking lot. Which of the following best explains the difference in the two percentages? (A) The difference is due to sampling variability. We shouldn't expect the results of a sample to match the truth about the population every time. (B) The difference is due to response bias. Drivers who don't use seat belts are likely to lie and say they do use seat belts. (C) The difference is due to undercoverage bias. The study included only customers of the convenience store and did not include all drivers in the population. (D) The difference…arrow_forwardTim is interested in studying whether Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is an effective treatment for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD).
