Researchers Kaitlin Woolley and Ayelet Fishbach (2019) told participants that they were participating in a study on the effects of Hunger. Pairs of participants were told to eat a snack of salsa and chips with a stranger, after which they engaged in a negotiation task. After which, they engaged in a negotation task. Half of the participant-pairs were randomly assigned to share a plate of salsa and chips, and the other half of participant-pairs were randomly assigned to eat their own individual servings. More specifically, the researchers reported that "participants were run in pairs of strangers. We preregistered the study and collected data from 200 undergraduate and graduate students outside a campus cafe (107 female; M=23.57 years, SD=8.80)" What did the researchers mean when they said they "preregistered the study"? a. They registered the study on a website so that students could signup to participate b. They recorded their research design and analysis plan before conducting the…
1.11 Buteyko method, scope of inference: Exercise 1.4 introduces a study on using the Buteyko shallow breathing technique to reduce asthma symptoms and improve quality of life. As part of this study 600 asthma patients aged 18-69 who relied on medication for asthma treatment were recruited and randomly assigned to two groups: one practiced the Buteyko method and the other did not. Those in the Buteyko group experienced, on average, a significant reduction in asthma symptoms and an improvement in quality of life. a) Identify the population of interest and the sample in the study. b) Comment on whether or not the results of the study can be generalized to the population, and if the findings of the study can be used to establish causal relationships.
Abstract To cooperate effectively, both in small-scale interactions and large-scale collective-action problems, people frequently have to delay gratification (i.e., resist short-term temptations in favor of joint long-term goals). Although delay-of- gratification skills are commonly considered critical in children’s social-cognitive development, they have rarely been studied in the context of cooperative decision-making. In the current study, we therefore presented pairs of children (N = 207 individuals) with a modified version of the famous marshmallow test, in which children’s outcomes were interdependently linked such that the children were rewarded only if both members of the pair delayed gratification. Children from two highly diverse cultures (Germany and Kenya) performed substantially better than they did on a standard version of the test, suggesting that children are more willing to delay gratification for cooperative than for individual goals. The results indicate that from…

3.4 The system is tested on a sample of one hundred computers and the average connection speed is found to be far below 400 kilobits. What hypothesis should probably be rejected? Explain. If the customer needs a connection speed of 400 kilobits to run her application programs, what is the business decision that corresponds to the decision regarding the hypotheses?
Economists, Angrist and Lavy (1999) exploited an 800 year-old rule regarding classroom size to estimate the causal effect of smaller classes on student achievement. The rule, made famous by 12th century scholar Maimonides, states that one teacher is sufficient to manage a class with up to 40 students. Classes with more than 40 students will require 2 teachers. Angrist and Lavy noticed that strict application of this rule in certain areas meant that if 80 students were enrolled in a school, then the school would divide them up into two groups of 40 students per teacher. If 81 students were enrolled, however, they would be placed in three classes of 27 students each. The rule thus generated sharp discontinuities in class sizes within schools, which, the authors argue, allow them to provide causal evidence of a boost in fifth grade math and reading scores as a result of smaller class size. a. What research design is implied by the authors’ use of Maimonides’ rule to estimate the causal…
A school Psychologist is interested in the effect of violent television programs on a child's agression depending on if the show is a cartoon or not. Eighty children were recruited and were divided into equal groups. Half of the children watched a violent television program while the other half watched a non- violent program. Half of the children watched a cartoon while the other half watched a show that was not a cartoon. The children were then placed in a small group and the researcher measured the level of agressiveness of each child.

8A.If there is no seasonal effect on people getting sick, we would expect equal numbers of people getting sick in each season (winter, spring, summer and fall). A student takes a census of students who took Marketing Research in 2019 and finds that of the 280 students who took Marketing Research in 2019, 75 were sick in winter, 65 were sick in spring, 68 were sick in summer and 72 were sick in fall. She wonders if the excess in the winter is an indication that sickness rates are not uniform throughout the year. Perform the appropriate chi-square test and indicate the chi-square value below. (Report two decimals) QUESTION 8b Indicate whether the associated p-value for the chi-square value you calculated for question 8 is significant. Yes No
2. A leading researcher in the study of interstate highway accidents proposes that a major cause of many collisions on the interstates is not the speed of the vehicles but rather the difference in speeds of the vehicles. When some vehicles are traveling slowly while other vehicles are traveling at speeds greatly in excess of the speed limit, the faster-moving vehicles may have to change lanes quickly, which can increase the chance of an accident. Thus, when there is a large variation in the speeds of the vehicles in a given location on the interstate, there may be a larger number of accidents than when the traffic is moving at a more uniform speed. The researcher believes that when the standard deviation in speed of vehicles exceeds 10 mph, the rate of accidents is greatly increased. During a 1-hour period of time, a random sample of 50 vehicles is selected from a section of an interstate known to have a high rate of accidents, and their speeds are recorded using a radar gun. The data…
