In a study examining the effect of humor on interpersonal attractions, McGee and Shevlin (2009) found that a man's sense of humor had significant effect on how he was perceieved by woman. 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…

- In studies examining the effect of humor on interpersonal attractions, McGee and Shevlin (2009) found that an individual’s sense of humor had a significant effect on how the individual was perceived by others. In one part of the study, female college students were given brief descriptions of a potential romantic partner. The fictitious male was described positively as being single and ambitious and having good job prospects. For one group of participants, the description also said that he had a great sense of humor. For another group, it said that he has no sense of humor. After reading the description, each participant was asked to rate the attractiveness of the man on a seven-point scale from 1 (very unattractive) to 7 (very attractive). A score of 4 indicates a neutral rating. The females who read the “great sense of humor” description gave the potential partner an average attractiveness score of M = 4.53 with a standard deviation of s = 1.04.

The following pas- sage is from the article “Heart Care Reflects Race and Sex, Not Symptoms” (USA Today, February 25, 1999, reprinted with permission):Previous research suggested blacks and women were less likely than whites and men to get cardiac cathe- terization or coronary bypass surgery for chest pain or a heart attack. Scientists blamed differences in illness severity, insurance coverage, patient preference, and health care access. The researchers eliminated those differences by videotaping actors—two black men, two black women, two white men, and two white women—describing chest pain from identical scripts. They wore identical gowns, used identical gestures, and were taped from the same position. Researchers asked 720 primary care doctors at meetings of the American College of Physicians or the American Academy of Family Physicians to watch a tape and recommend care. The doctors thought the…arrow_forwardThe following data are from an experiment designed to investigate the perception of corporate ethical values among individuals who are in marketing.

- 1. A researcher is interested in the effects of nature and nurture on altruism. Participants were adopted children. To study nature, birth parents were categorized as being high or low in altruism. To study nature, adoptive parents were categorized as being high, medium or low in altruism. The adopted children were given an altruism questionnaire, where higher scores reflect more altruism. Does Nature and/or Nurture contribute to children's altruistic behavior? Complete the conclusion statement below. Assume a = .05 and Tukey HSD = 9.6. Birth Parents (A) HIGH LOW High M = 80 M = 60 Adoptive Parents (B) Medium M = 70 M = 50 Low M = 60 M = 40 The factorial ANOVA revealed significant main effects of Birth Parents [F(1, 30) = 5.28, p .05].arrow_forward24) Some research has shown that swearing can help reduce ratings of pain (Stephens, Atkins, & Kingston, 2009). In one such study, each participant was asked to plunge a hand into icy water and keep it there as long as the pain would allow. In one condition, the participants repeated their favorite curse words while their hands were in the water. In the other condition, the participants repeated a neutral word. In addition to lowering the participants’ perception of pain, swearing also increased the amount of time they were able to tolerate the pain. Data similar to the results obtained in their study are shown in the following table.

A U.S. News & World Report article about polls stated: "On sensitive issues, people tend to give 'acceptable' rather than honest responses; their answers may depend on the gender or race of the interviewer." To support that claim, data were provided for an Eagleton Institute poll in which surveyed men were asked if they agreed with this statement: "Abortion is a private matter that should be left to the woman to decide without government intervention." We will analyze the effect of gender on male survey subjects only. Table is based on the responses of surveyed men. Gender of Interviewers Women 308 92 Men 560 Men who agree Men who disagree 240 Assume that the survey was designed so that male interviewers were instructed to obtain 800 responses from male subjects, and female interviewers were instructed to obtain 400 responses from male subjects.

- In a 2013 study, Jonason, Jones, and Lyons studied the differences in personality traits of 263 university students and compared those traits to whether the student was a "morning type" or "evening type". They found a those who were evening type to be more, on average, more narrassistic, psychotic, and manipulative.

The research study uncovered a main effect of social media use, but no main effect of gender or interaction between gender and social media use. b. The research study uncovered a main effect of gender and interaction of gender and social media use, but not main effect of social media use. c. The research study uncovered an interaction between social media use and gender, but no main effects. d.

- Wolak, Mitchell, and Finkelhor (2002) used a survey of 1,501 adolescents to examine online relationships. The results showed that 14% reported close online friendships during the past year, 7% reported face-to-face meetings with online friends, and 2% reported romantic online relationships. Is this an example of a research design?arrow_forward]14. Many animals, including humans, tend to avoid direct eye contact and even patterns that look like eyes. Some insects, including moths, have evolved eye-spot patterns on their wings to help ward off predators. Scaife (1976) reports a study examining how eye-spot patterns affect the behaviour of birds. In the study, the birds were tested in a box with two chambers and were free to move from one chamber to another. In one chamber, two large eye-spots were painted on one wall. The other chamber had plain walls. The researcher recorded the amount of time each bird spent in the plain chamber during a 60-minute session. Suppose the study produced a mean of M 34.5 minutes on the plain chamber with SS = 210 for a sample of n = 15 birds. (Now: If the eye spots have no effect. then the birds should spend an average of u = 30 minutes in each chamber.) a. Is this sample sufficient to conclude that the eyes pots have a significant influence on the bird's behaviour? Ike a two-tailed test with…arrow_forwardIn 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? Group of answer choices 3 0 1 2arrow_forward
