A researcher is interested in the effects of sleep deprivation and caffeine intake on mood. Participants were randomly assigned to a sleep condition (normal or deprived) and a caffeine condition (0 cups, 2 cups, or 4 cups). After the manipulations, mood was measured (such that higher numbers indicated better mood). The results were as follows:                    Normal Condition                                      Deprived Condition          0 cups        2 cups        4 cups                    0 cups        2 cups        4 cups             16              18              18                          0               ...

Scenario: Imagine you are a researcher who is interested in studying whether sleep deprivation leads to increased reaction times (i.e., being slower) when driving. You randomly select a sample of 30 licensed drivers. Fifteen participants are randomly assigned to get 5 hours of sleep for three consecutive nights. The other 15 participants are randomly assigned to get 8 hours of sleep for three consecutive nights. For the purposes of this Assignment, assume that all participants sleep exactly the required amounts....

A researcher is interested in whether students randomly assigned to 1 of 3 sleep deprivation conditions (i.e., low, medium, or high sleep deprivation) perform the same, on average, on a math exam. Assume alpha = 0.05, and there are 10 students in each condition. (SStotal= 16,071       and      SSwithin= 7,880) Please sketch and complete the following table on scratch paper to help with Questions 25-34: Source SS df MS F Between Within ------- Total ------- ------- What is the SSTotal?

Research Scenario: A researcher is attempting to determine the effects of sex and sleep deprivation on a reaction time task. Participants (5 men; 5 women) in an experiment are given a computerized search task. They search a computer screen of various characters and attempt to find a particular character on each trial. When they find the designated character, they press a button to stop a timer. Their reaction time (in ms) on each trial is recorded (note, so the lower...

... sleep deprivation influences aggression. To test this assumption, volunteer participants were randomly assigned to sleep-deprivation periods of 0, 24, 48, and 72 hours and subsequently tested for aggressive behavior in a controlled social setting. Aggressive scores signify the total number of different aggressive behaviors, such as "put downs", arguments, or verbal interruptions, that were demonstrated by subjects during the test period. Compute the appropriate test to determine if sleep deprivation has an effect on level of aggression. 0 24...

A researcher tests the effects of sleep deprivation on memory span (how many items (e.g., numbers) a person can keep in mind at once). Toward this end she recruits 5 participants. Each participant’s memory span is tested when normally rested (after waking from 8 hours of sleep), after being awake for 24 hours, and after being awake for 48 hours. The data are presented in the table below. Answer the following questions using an alpha of .05. Well-Rested 24 Hours...

A researcher is interested in looking at the effect of sleep and caffeine on physical performance. The researcher has each subject perform a series of 6 tests across a number of week. The researcher alters the amount of sleep the subject should receive (8 hours, 6 hours, and 4 hours) while also altering whether they drink coffee in the morning or they do not. These two factors are completely crossed to create the six conditions. Eight subjects were recruited for...

Dr. Lewis investigated the effects of caffeine consumption and sleep deprivation on mental alertness. He recruited 30 college students to participate in his study. He had each student stay in the lab overnight. One-third of the sample was allowed a full night’s sleep (no sleep deprivation), one-third was woken up two hours earlier than usual (2 hours sleep deprivation), and the other one-third was woken up four hours earlier than usual (4 hours sleep deprivation). Within 30 minutes of waking...

A researcher is interested in studying the effects of out-of-wedlock childbearing on the subsequent earnings of young women. Her sample consists of unmarried women who have had no more than one successful pregnancy (i.e. one kid or one batch of twins). Her dependent variable is annual earnings while her independent variable of interest is each woman’s number of children. She plans to include measures of ethnicity, educational attainment, and local economic factors in her regression equation. There are likely to...
