4. (22 pts) A psychologist conducts a study to determine the relationship

between religion and self-esteem. Ten eighth graders are randomly

selected for the study. Each individual undergoes two tests, one measuring

self-esteem and the other religious involvement. For the self-esteem test,

a higher score indicates higher self-esteem; for the test measuring

religious involvement, a higher the score indicates higher religious involvement. The self-esteem test has a range from 1 to 10 and the religious involvement test ranges from 0 to 50. Or the purposes of this question, assume both tests are well standardized and of interval scaling.

The following data are collected (see numbers to the left):

Answer the following:

A. (2 pts) If a relationship exists such that the more religiously involved one is, the higher actual self-esteem is, would you expect r computed on the provided values to be negative or positive?

B. (4 pts) Using SPSS, JASP, or the online calculator, compute the Pearson correlation coefficient for these data. Report the value of r. What does the direction of the effect (the positive or negative sign of r) tell you about whether higher self-esteem is associated with higher religious involvement or lower religious involvement? (Choose one.)

C. (2 pts) In SPSS, use religious involvement (the IV) to predict self-esteem (the DV). What proportion of variability in self-esteem is explained by variability in religious involvement?

D. (4 pts) Write the equation to predict self-esteem from religious involvement. Make the equation as detailed as you can (variable names, number for the coefficients).

E. (2 pts) Use the equation to predict the self-esteem of a person who had a religious involvement score of 27. Show your work.

F. (2 pts) For the Pearson correlation between religious involvement and self-esteem, state the null and alternative hypotheses.

G. (2 pts) Using Table E, report the degrees of freedom and the critical value for the Pearson r at an alpha of .05 (two-tailed).

H. (2 pts) What is your decision about the null hypothesis for the Pearson correlation (reject or fail to reject)? Also state the basis for your decision.

I. (2 pts) In psychology, a Pearson correlation of -.388 is usually considered a fairly substantial effect. If you failed to reject the null with this large a correlation, what could a possible explanation be? Write a sentence or two answering this question.

ΣX ΣY Σ(x-x̅)² Σ(y-ȳ)² Σ(x-x̅)(y-ȳ)
total sum 230 48 1860 19.6 -74.00
mean 23.00 4.80 SSxx SSyy SSxy

correlation coefficient ,    r = Sxy/√(Sx.Sy) =   -0.3876

negative
...............

sample size ,   n =   10          
here, x̅ = Σx / n=   23.00   ,     ȳ = Σy/n =   4.80  
                  
SSxx =    Σ(x-x̅)² =    1860.0000          
SSxy=   Σ(x-x̅)(y-ȳ) =   -74.0          
                  
estimated slope , ß1 = SSxy/SSxx =   -74.0   /   1860.000   =   -0.0398
                  
intercept,   ß0 = y̅-ß1* x̄ =   5.7151          
                  
so, regression line is   Ŷ =   5.715   +   -0.040   *x

...................


R² =    (Sxy)²/(Sx.Sy) =    0.1502
15.02% of variation is explained by x

...............

Predicted Y at X=   27   is                  
Ŷ =   5.71505   +   -0.039785   *   27   =   4.64
...............

correlation hypothesis test      
Ho:   ρ = 0  
Ha:   ρ ╪ 0  
n=   10  
correlation , r=   -0.3876  
t-test statistic = r*√(n-2)/√(1-r²) =        -1.189
DF=n-2 =   8  
p-value =    0.2685  

you did not provide alpha (for 0.05 , 0.01 , 0.1)


Decison:   P value > α, So, Do not reject Ho

A social psychologist conducts an experiment to determine the best way to design a message for college students about the importance of engaging in safe sex. She hypothesizes that two factors impact the effectiveness of the message: (a) the medium used to deliver the message (lecture, video, or pamphlet), and (b) the emotional tone of the message (fear, neutral, or humor). The dependent variable is a measure of behavioral intention to engage in safe sex behavior (higher score indicating greater...
