Two studies (Hughes, Cutting, & Dunn, 2001; Hughes et al., 2002) have demonstrated a new observational techinique for assessing disruptive behavior in young children. The technique involves observing disruptive behaviors that are triggered while the children play a competitive card game (SNAP) that is rigged to ensure that they experience a losign streak. the situation is contrived to produce furstation which often leads to a disruptive outburst a. Briefly explain the difference between naturalistic observation and contrived observation. Is the SNAP technique an example of naturalistic or contrived observation? What is the major advantage of contrived obersavtion? b. prepare a list of five specific behaviors that you would consider to be examples of disruptive behavior for children in the SNAP games.

In the book Business Research Methods (5th ed.), Donald R. Cooper and C. William Emory discuss studying the relationship between on-the-job accidents and smoking. Cooper and Emory describe the study as follows: Suppose a manager implementing a smoke-free workplace policy is interested in whether smoking affects worker accidents. Since the company has complete reports of on-the-job accidents, she draws a sample of names of workers who were involved in accidents during the last year. A similar sample from among workers who had no reported accidents in the last year is drawn. She interviews members of both groups to determine if they are smokers or not. The sample results are given in the following table. On-the-Job Accident Smoker Yes No Row Total Heavy 12 5 17 Moderate 9 10 19 Nonsmoker 13 17 30 Column total 34 32 66 Expected counts are below observed counts Accident No Accident Total Heavy 12 5 17 8.76 8.24…
In a study of whether taking a garlic supplement reduces the risk of getting a cold, participants were assigned to either a garlic supplement group or to a group that did not take a garlic supplement.† Based on the study, it was concluded that the proportion of people taking a garlic supplement who get a cold is lower than the proportion of those not taking a garlic supplement who get a cold. Do you think that the study was conducted in a reasonable way? What additional information would you want in order to evaluate this study? (Select all that apply.) A) whether the patients knew which treatment they were receiving B) whether the patients were randomly assigned to the treatments C) whether the patient's last name started with A through M D) whether the patient's cold lasted more than a week E) whether the experiment was conducted on a sufficient number of patients so that the differences observed could not be attributed to chance
A report summarizes a survey of people in two independent random samples. One sample consisted of 700 young adults (aged 19 to 35) and the other sample consisted of 200 parents of children aged 19 to 35. The young adults were presented with a variety of situations (such as getting married or buying a house) and were asked if they thought that their parents were likely to provide financial support in that situation. The parents of young adults were presented with the same situations and asked if they would be likely to provide financial support to their child in that situation. 1. When asked about getting married, 41% of the young adults said they thought parents would provide financial support and 43% of the parents said they would provide support. Carry out a hypothesis test to determine if there is convincing evidence that the proportion of young adults who think parents would provide financial support and the proportion of parents who say they would provide support are different.…

The parents of young adults were presented with the same situations and asked if they would be likely to provide financial support to their child in that situation. 1. The report stated that the proportion of young adults who thought parents would help with buying a house or apartment was 0.37. For the sample of parents, the proportion who said they would help with buying a house or an apartment was 0.27. Based on these data, can you conclude that the proportion of parents who say they would help with buying a house or an apartment is significantly less than the proportion…
Under what circumstances is it advisable to switch to a between-subjects design instead of using a within-subjects design? On the other hand, when is it advantageous to use a within subjects design instead of a between subjects design? Use examples in which you really would have the option of using either design, not situations in which only one of these designs is possible.
In low-speed crash tests of five cars, the repair costs were computed for a factory authorizedrepair and an independent repair workshop. The results are listed in Table 2.

Based on a survey of 12,344 U.S. college students and 6,729 Canadian college students, Kuo, Adlaf, Lee, Gliksman, Demers, and Wechsler (2002) report that alcohol use is more common among Canadian than U.S. students, but heavy drinking (five or more drinks in a row for males, four or more for females) is significantly higher among U.S. students than Canadian students. Is this an example of a survey research design?
Aronson and Mills (1959) conducted an experiment to see whether people's liking for a group is influenced by the severity of initiation. They reasoned that when people willingly undergo a severe initiation to become members of a group, they are motivated to think that the group membership must be worthwhile. Otherwise, they would experience cognitive dissonance: Why put up with severe initiation for the sake of a group membership that is worthless? In their experiment, participants were randomly assigned to one of three treatment groups: Group 1 (control) had no initiation. Group 2 (mild) had a mildly embarrassing initiation (reading words related to sex out loud). Group 3 (severe) had a severely embarrassing initiation (reading sexually explicit words and obscene words out loud). After the initiation, each person listened to a standard tape-recorded discussion among the group that they would now supposedly be invited to join; this was made up made to be as dull and banal as possible.…
In a number of pharmaceutical studies volunteers who take placebos but they are told they have taken a cold remedy report the following side effects head ache 25%, drowsiness 7%, stomach upset 4%, no side effects 84%.a random sample of 250 people who were given a placebo but who thought they have taken an anti inflammatory reported whether they had experienced each of the side effects. Do the data presented in the table provide enough evidence to infer that the reported side effects of placebo for an anti inflammatory differ from that of a cold remedy? Use 10% significance level. Side effects number of people Headache 10 Drowsiness 19 Stomach upset 6 No side effect 215

Adding computerized medical images to a database promises to provide great resources for physicians. However, there are other methods of obtaining such information, so the issue of efficiency of access needs to be investigated. An article reported on an experiment in which 13 computer-proficient medical professionals were timed both while retrieving an image from a library of slides and while retrieving the same image from a computer database with a Web front end.
