Question

Transcribed Image Text:In order to use the t distribution, you will first need to determine the degrees of freedom (df) for α = .05. The degrees of freedom (df) is _____. The critical value of t is _______.
Your sample of 16-year-old children with antisocial tendencies has an average score of 13.10 with a standard deviation of 2.85.
Calculate the t statistic. To do this, you will first have to calculate the estimated standard error. The estimated standard error is _______. The t statistic is _______. (Hint: For the most precise results, retain four significant figures from your calculation of the standard error to calculate the t statistic.)
The t statistic ___________ lie in the critical region. Therefore, you _________ reject the null hypothesis.
Based on the results of this test, there ________ enough evidence to conclude that children with antisocial tendencies have greater difficulty recognizing anger than do children without antisocial tendencies.

Transcribed Image Text:Antisocial personality disorder (ASPD) is characterized by deceitfulness, reckless disregard for the well-being of others, a diminished capacity for remorse, superficial charm, thrill-seeking, and poor behavioral control. ASPD is not normally diagnosed in children or adolescents, but antisocial tendencies can sometimes be recognized in childhood or early adolescence. James Blair and his colleagues have studied the ability of children with antisocial tendencies to recognize facial expressions that depict sadness, happiness, anger, disgust, fear, and surprise. They have found that children with antisocial tendencies have selective impairments, with significantly more difficulty recognizing fearful and sad expressions.
Suppose you have a sample of 25 16-year-old children with antisocial tendencies and you are particularly interested in the emotion of anger. The average 16-year-old has a score on the emotion recognition scale of 12.50. (The higher the score on this scale, the more strongly an emotion has to be displayed to be correctly identified. Therefore, higher scores indicate greater difficulty recognizing the emotion). Assume that scores on the emotion recognition scale are normally distributed.
You believe that children with antisocial tendencies will have a harder time recognizing the emotion of anger (in other words, they will have higher scores on the emotion recognition test).
