A researcher conducts an experiment to compare the effectiveness of different therapies for depression. Participants diagnosed with depression are randomly assigned to one of four groups: Control (no therapy provided), antidepressant medication (SSRI), cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), or a combination of medication and cognitive-behavioral therapy (SSRI+CBT). The DV is depression severity after 4 weeks, with higher scores indicating the presence of more depressive symptoms. SSRI CBT SSRI+CBT Control 11 7 9 12 5 9 6 7 9 6 7 11 7...

. In an online experiment, participants were asked to react to a stimulus. Upon seeing a blue screen, participants were instructed to press a key and the reaction time was measured in seconds. The same participant is also asked to press a key when seeing a red screen, with the reaction time measured. (The first color tested was randomly selected for each participant.) The results of 6 randomly sampled participants are below. Is the reaction time to the blue stimulus...

To test whether memory changes with age, a researcher conducts an experiment in which there are four groups of six subjects each. The four groups are listed below. All subjects are in good health and matched in other important variables such as years of education, IQ, gender and motivation. Each subject is shown a series of nonsense syllables (a meaningless combination of three letters such as DAF or FUM) at a rate of one syllable every 4 seconds. The series...

A psychology experiment on memory was conducted which required participants to note which songs they found pleasing. Based on many results, the (partial) probability distribution below was determined for the discrete random variable X = number of songs found pleasing (during a fixed time period). X = # songs 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Probability 0 0.02 0.04 0.07 0.15 0.18 0.24 0.14 0.11 0.05 Given that the person finds at least 7 songs pleasing...

Earlier in the semester, we discussed an experiment by Stanley Milgram in which participants, assigned the role "teacher," shocked a "learner," sometimes to the point of potential injury (or worse). This week, we discussed Cognitive Dissonance, the Justification of Effort, and the Justification of Cruelty. How might these concepts help you understand the results of Milgram’s experiments? (If you are struggling, I would suggest focusing on the theory of the Justification of Cruelty, but, if you have other ideas, that’s...

A health psychologist conducted an experiment in which participants watched a film that either did or did not include a person being injured because of not wearing a seatbelt. A week later, as part of a seemingly different study, these same participants reported how important they thought it was to wear seatbelts (higher scores = greater importance). The 16 participants who had seen the injury film gave a mean rating of 8.9, with a standard deviation of 2.1. The 16...

A researcher conducted an experiment in which two independent random samples of students were asked to rate on a 7-point scale whether they thought animal research is wrong with 7 indicating it was wrong and 1 indicating it was not wrong. The sample sizes, means, and variances are shown separately for males and females in Table below. Groups N Mean Variance Females (Group 1) 17 5.353 2.743 Males (Group 2) 32 3.882 2.985 What is the correct calculated value for...
