Textbook Question
Chapter 18, Problem 16P
- Stressful or traumatic experiences can often worsen other health-related problems such as asthma or rheumatoid arthritis. However if patients are instructed to write about their stressful experiences, it can often lead to improvement in health (Smyth, Stone, Hurewitz, & Kaell, 1999). In a typical study, patients with asthma or arthritis are asked to write about the “most stressful
event of your life.” In a sample of n = 112 patients, suppose that 64 showed improvement in their symptoms, 12 showed no change, and 36 showed worsening symptoms. - If the 12 patients showing no change are discarded are these results sufficient to conclude that the writing had a significant, effect? Use a two-tailed test with a = .05.
- If the 12 patients who showed no change are split between the two groups, are the result sufficient to demonstrate a significant change? Use a two-tailed test with a = .05.
