McAllister et al. (2012) compared varsity football and hockey players with varsity athletes from noncontact sports to determine whether exposure to head impacts during one season have an effect on cognitive performance. In the study, tests of new learning performance were significantly poorer for the contact sport athletes compared to the noncontact sport athletes. The following table presents data similar to the results obtained in the study.
Noncontact Athletes:
10, 8, 7, 9, 13, 7, 6, 12
Contact Athletes:
7, 4, 9, 3, 7, 6, 10, 2

A study examined the relationship between a nurse's assessment of a patient's facial expression and his or her
self-reported level of pain. Data for 89 patients are summarized below:
Self-Report
Facial Expression No Pain Pain
No Pain
17
40
Pain
3
29
We'd like to determine if there is evidence of an association between a facial expression that reflects pain and
self-report pain, because dementia patients do not always give a verbal indication that they are in pain.
By using SPSS or Minitab, design the appropriate test and generate the data analyses. Relate the results of the
test to the research question and conclude the findings.

- What is an experiment?arrow_forwardA group of psychologists recently examined the how odor influences emotion between male and female. 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. The data present the pattern of results obtained in the study, with higher scores indicating a higher level of happiness Odor pleasant neutral unpleasant Male n = 5 n = 5 n = 5 M = 8 M = 7 M = 0 SS = 6 SS = 5 SS = 4 Female n = 5 n = 5 n = 5 M = 7 M =2 M = 0 SS = 6 SS = 4 SS = 6 Note: grand mean =4 A) Conduct a hypotheses testing with α = .05 to evaluate the main effects and interactions (follow the four-step procedure).

Patients were selected to participate in the study based on their stage of Alzheimer's disease. Three forms of music were tested: Easy listening, Mozart, and piano interludes. While listening to music, agitation levels were recorded for the patients with a high score indicating a higher level of agitation. Scores are recorded below.

Derks, Bos, and von Grumbkow (2007) conducted an independent sample experiment to study the effect of social context and emotion on the use of emoticons. Four groups of participants were instructed to use an internet chat program and the researchers measured the number of emoticons produced by participants. The first group of participants was instructed to communicate about an emotionally positive task (e.g., organizing a group project). The second group of participants was instructed to communicate about an emotionally positive socio-emotional event (e.g., brainstorming about a friend’s birthday). The third group was treated like the first group, except that task was emotionally negative and the fourth group was treated like the second group, except that the socio-emotional event was emotionally negative.…arrow_forwardMcAllister, et al.

- 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.…arrow_forwardAttractiveness of body types has been a large discussion relating to effects on youth and culture. Unhealthy levels of BMI are often associated with beauty. A researcher decided to study how young heterosexual adults body type preferences related to BMI. Participants were asked to use a computer program to design their desired partner. The program then calculated the BMI of the designed partners. The table summarizes the results based on a SRS of 35 men and 48 women. BMI designed by men n=35 x-bar=18.850 stdev=1.750 SE Mean 0.277 BMI designed by women n=48 x-bar=25.860 stdev=4.215 SE Mean 0.625 Use this information to conduct a test to decide if male and/or female body type preferences are associated with healthy BMI measurements. You should have two complete tests here. You may assume the populations are normally distributed.arrow_forwardIn 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. If the sample consisted of n = 16…arrow_forward
- A researcher conducts an independent-measures study to examine how the brain chemical serotonin is related to aggression. One sample of rats serves as a control group and receives a placebo that does not affect normal levels of serotonin. A second sample of rats, low serotonin group, receives a drug that lowers brain levels of serotonin. Then, the researcher tests the animals by recording the number of aggressive responses each of the rats display. See the data below. Is there a significant difference between the control group and the low serotonin group regarding the number of aggressive responses?
