Chapter 11.2, Problem 26E
The study described in the paper ‘‘Marketing Actions Can Modulate Neural Representation of Experienced Pleasantness” (Proceedings of the National Academy of Science [2008]: 1050-1054) investigated whether price affects people’s judgment.
Twenty people each tasted six cabernet sauvignon wines and rated how they liked them on a scale of 1 to 6. Prior to tasting each wine, participants were told the price of the wine. Of the six wines tasted, two were actually the same wine, but for one tasting the participant was told that the wine cost $10 per bottle and for the other tasting the participant was told that the wine cost $90 per bottle. The participants were randomly assigned either to taste the $90 wine first and the $10 wine second, or the $10 wine first and the $90 wine second.
Differences were calculated by subtracting the rating for the tasting in which the participant thought the wine cost $10 from the rating for the tasting in which the participant thought the wine cost $90. The differences that follow are consistent with summary' quantities given in the paper. Difference ($90 – $10)

Three groups of participants (half male, half female) were first subjected to different types of smell (pleasant, neutral, and unpleasant), and then filled out questionnaire of happiness.

In a research study, wherein the researcher wanted to know if people’s intelligence is perceived differently based on race, participants observed either a Caucasian, African American, or Asian American stimulus person giving a speech. All stimulus persons gave the same verbal speech. After observing this person, the participants had to rate the stimulus person’s level of intelligence on a scale of 1-10. The participants were separated by gender and their ratings were analyzed separately.
How many possible interaction effects might the researcher find?

In a study examining the effect of humor on interpersonal attractions, McGee and Shevlin (2009) found that a man’s sense of humor had a significant effect on how he was perceived by women. In the study, female college students were given brief descriptions of a potential 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 condition, 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 examine this effect further, a researcher selected a sample of n = 16 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.…

- A researcher is interested in studying the effects of altitude on cognitive performance (e.g., perception, memory, problem solving, etc.). The researcher finds a group of experienced mountain climbers (n = 10) who volunteer to participate in the study. All of the climbers are tested at three different altitudes—at sea level (in the researchers’ laboratory at the University of California, San Diego), at the base camp (9,000 feet above sea level), and at 23,000 feet above sea level (at the peak of Mt.

- Independent t: The Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) enlisted the help of a social psychology professor to design a study to see if the attractiveness of the driving instructor affected the performance of young drivers. Thirty 16-year-olds going to take the driving exam were randomly assigned to an attractive or unattractive driving instructor. For 20 of the drivers, the instructor was very attractive; for the other 10 drivers, the instructor was rated as being very unattractive. A panel of judges rated the performance of the two groups, and the mean performance ratings for the 16-year-olds with attractive instructors was 4.3 (S = .86) and with unattractive instructors, the mean was 5.4 (S = 1.30). Using the .05 significance level, did the attractiveness levels of the driving instructor affect driving performance? Use the five steps of hypothesis testing. Sketch the distributions involved.

They were particularly interested in the effects of eye-to-eye contact and smiling. They collected data from 20 participants. Each participant was asked to wait in a small room while the experimenter went next door, ostensibly to gather the materials needed for the study. While the participant was waiting, a confederate of the experimenter entered the room and sat in a chair facing the participant, and asked "Are you waiting for the experiment?". Immediately after asking the question, the confederate smiled at, and/or looked directly into the eyes of, the participant. This was done in four conditions: for five participants the confederate smiled and looked into the participant's eye, for five participants the confederate smiled but did not look into the participant's eye, for five participants the confederate did not smile but did look into the participant's eyes, and for five…arrow_forward
- 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).
