A researcher tested a research hypothesis that people with diagnosed depression will have REDUCED level of depressive symptoms after a cognitive therapy treatment, as compared to the pre-treatment level of depressive symptoms. The cutoff t value is -1.746 for this one-tailed test. The data analysis yielded a mean change score (post-treatment minus pre-treatment) of -3.
