One possible explanation for why some bird’s migration and others maintain year-round residency in a single location is intelligence. Specifically, birds with small brains, relative to their body size, are simply not smart enough to find food during the winter and must migrate to warmer climates where food is easily available (Sol, Lefebvre, & Rodriguez- Teijeiro, 2015). Birds with bigger brain on the other hand, are more creative and can find food even when the weather turns harsh. Following are hypothetical data similar to the actual research results. The numbers represent relative brain size for the individual birds in each sample.

Suzanne Zeedyk, a developmental psychologist at Dundee University’s School of Psychology, conducted a pilot study in which parents started a half-hour walk with their infants in a parent-facing or an away-facing stroller and then switched to the other type of stroller midway. Her results suggest that parents talked less to the babies, the babies had higher heart rates, and they were less likely to fall asleep in away-facing strollers than in parent-facing strollers. You are interested in testing the hypothesis that babies who travel in parent-facing strollers have different expressive vocabularies than babies who travel in away-facing strollers. You randomly assign 13 newborns to parent-facing strollers and 13 newborns to away-facing strollers. You then test the babies’ expressive vocabularies at age 36 months using the Expressive Vocabulary Test (EVT), which is designed primarily to assess children’s expressive vocabulary. The sample means and sums of squares of the scores for each of…

In a classic study of infant attachment, Harlow (1959) placed infant monkeys in cages with two artificial surrogate mothers. One “mother” was made from bare wire mesh and contained a baby bottle from which the infants could feed. The other mother was made from soft terry cloth and did not provide any access to food. Harlow observed the infant monkeys and recorded how much time per day was spent with each mother. In atypical day, the infants spent a total of 18 hours clinging to one of the two mothers. If there were no preference between the two, you would expect the time to be divided evenly, with an average of μ=9 hours for each of the mothers. However, the typical monkey spent around 15 hours per day with the terry-cloth mother, indicating a strong preference for the soft, cuddly mother. Suppose a sample of n=9 infant monkeys averaged M=15.3 hours per day with SS=216 with the terry-cloth mother. Is this result sufficient to conclude that the monkeys spent significantly more time with…
Knowing that people have a tendency to engage in social loafing when they think there are other people around to take some of the burden, researchers think that knowing they are “alone” versus “together” will impact the way a participant performs during a tug-of-war task. In the “alone” condition, participants are blindfolded and asked to pull as hard as they can on a rope against another participant on the other end. In the “together” condition, participants are once again blindfolded and told to pull as hard as they can. However, they are led to believe that there are three people on each end of the rope (they have two team additional team members to help them). The researchers find that those in the “alone” condition pull much harder (as measured by a weight sensor that measures pounds per square inch on a scale from 0 to 500 pounds) than those in the “together” condition. Which of the following is the independent variable? Pulling strength Weight sensor Social loafing…

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…
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…
For 25 years, Arthur Reynolds and Judy Temple tracked more than 1,400 children who participated in a publicly funded early childhood development program beginning at age 3. They found that children who participated in the program showed higher levels of educational attainment, socioeconomic status, and job skills, as well as lower rates of substance abuse, felony arrest, and incarceration, than those who did not receive school-based early education. One possible theory for the success of this program is that improving school readiness improved the children's success in school. The improved success in school in turn improved their readiness for adulthood, resulting in increased job skills and socioeconomic status as well as lower rates of substance abuse.
In laparoscopic surgery, a video camera and several thin instruments are inserted into the patient's abdominal cavity. The surgeon uses the image from the video camera positioned inside the patient's body to perform the procedure by manipulating the instruments that have been inserted. The Top Gun Laparoscopic Skills and Suturing Program was developed to help surgeons develop the skill set necessary for laparoscopic surgery. Because of the similarity in many of the skills involved in video games and laparoscopic surgery, it was hypothesized that surgeons with greater prior video game experience might acquire the skills required in laparoscopic surgery more easily. Thirty‑three surgeons participated in the study and were classified into three categories, never used, under three hours, and three or more hours—depending on the daily number of hours they played video games at the height of their video game use. They also performed Top Gun drills and received a score based on the time to…
The majority of clothing retailers use mannequins to display their merchandise, with approximately one‑third displaying mannequins with heads and two‑thirds displaying mannequins without heads. Researchers recruited 126 female participants and assigned each to one of the two mannequin styles (head/headless). Participants were asked to imagine that they wanted to buy a new dress and told to go to a named store to make their purchase. They then viewed the dress displayed on a mannequin (head or headless) and were asked whether or not they would buy the dress. Of the 63 participants viewing the dress displayed on a mannequin with a head, 18 indicated that they would buy the dress, while only 10 of the 63 participants viewing the headless mannequin indicated that they would buy the dress. Assuming the conditions are met, calculate the test statistic and ?-value. Give the test statistic to two decimal places and ?-value to four decimal places.
