Question
Exercise is known to produce positive psychological effects. Interestingly, not all exercise is equally effective. It turns out that exercising in a natural environment (e.g., jogging in the woods) produces better psychological outcomes than exercising in urban environments or in homes (Mackay & Neill, 2010). Suppose that a sports psychologist is interested in testing whether there is a difference between exercise in nature and exercise in the lab with respect to post-exercise anxiety levels. The researcher recruits n=7 participants who exercise in the lab and exercise on a nature trail. The data below represent the anxiety scores that were measured after each exercise session.
- Treat the data as if the scores are from an independent-measures study using two separate samples, each with n=7 participants. Compute the pooled variance, the estimated standard error for the
mean difference, and the independent-measures t statistic. α=0.05, is there a significant difference between the two sets of scores? - Now assume that the data are from a repeated measures study using the same sample of n=7 participants in both treatment conditions. Compute the variance for the sample of difference scores, the estimated standard error for the mean difference, and the repeated-measures t statistic. Using α=0.05, is there a significant difference between the two sets of scores?

Subjects were asked to perform a simulated driving task while talking on a cell phone. While performing this task, occasional red and green lights flashed on the computer screen. If a green light flashed, subjects were to continue driving, but if a red light Flashed, subjects were to brake as quickly as possible. The reaction time (in msec) was recorded. The following summary statistics are based on a graph that appeared in the paper. n = 49 x = 530 S = 65 USE SALT (a) Construct a 95% confidence interval for u, the mean time to react to a red light while talking on a cell phone. (Round your answers to three decimal places.) Interpret a 95% confidence interval for μ, the mean time to react to a red light while talking on a cell phone. We are 95% confident that the mean time to react to a red light while talking on a cell phone is between these two values. There is a 95% chance…arrow_forward

In the study, female college students were given brief descriptions of a po tential romantic partner and then rated the attractiveness of the male on a scale from 1 (low) to 7 (high). The fictitious male was described positively as being single , ambitious, and having good job prospects. In one dition, the description also said that he had a great sense of humor. The results showed that the description was rated significantly higher when "a sense of humor" was included. To further examine this effect, a researcher selected a sample of n = 16colle college males and asked them to read a brief description of a female and then rate the attractiveness of the woman in the description . The description had been used in previous research but was modified by adding a statement describing a good sense of humor…arrow_forwardIn an early study of the effects of frustration on feelings of hostility, Miller and Bugelski (1948) had a group of boys at a camp rate their attitudes toward two groups (Mexicans and Japanese).
