We have a sample of 5090 participants, who self-reported severity of depressive symptoms in the past 14 days. The scale used to assess depression ranges from 0 to 27, with scores greater than 9 indicating possible major depression. The sample mean is 3.33, with standard deviation equals to 4.66. A total of 477 participants have scores greater than 9. Do you think it is representative of the National Rates?

Men are 2493, and have a mean score of 2.92 (standard deviation=4.82); Women are 2597, and have a mean score of 3.72 (standard deviation=4.47). Are the mean scores statistically different?

A group of researchers have shown potential for dont-b-sad to alleviate the severity of depressive behaviors in rodents; now it’s time for clinical trials in humans. To do this, a sample of 300 individuals diagnosed with clinical depression in the state of Illinois were randomly assigned to one of three treatment groups: • 100 individuals received a daily dose (60 mg pill) of dont-b-sad. • 100 individuals received a sugar pill with no active ingredients. • 100 individuals received no...

We have a sample of 9254 participants, 4557 men and 4697 women. The mean age of the sample is 34.33 years; men mean age is 34.12 (Variance= 663.063). The Variance in the women's group is 637.5625. Can you calculate women mean age? If so, is there a statistically significant difference between men and women mean age?

Does therapy combined with exercise alleviate depressive symptoms more than therapy alone? People who were newly diagnosed with mild depression were invited into the study. Study participants were carefully matched on age, race and gender. One person from each pair was assigned to the therapy alone group, and the other was assigned to the therapy plus exercise group. Twelve weeks later, the depression levels of the two groups were compared to see which of the two groups had a lower...

All the problems we have looked at in this chapter have assumed that all participants receive an equal share of what is being divided. Often, this does not occur in real life. For example, Grandma might specify in her will that John is to receive 50%, Sue is to receive 30%, and Margaret is to receive 20%. To make things more reasonable, lets look at a simpler example. Suppose Fred and Maria are going to divide a cake using the...

We use a paired-samples t test when we have two samples, and the same participants are in both samples; to conduct the test, we calculate a difference score for every individual in the study. Discuss what areas in psychology would benefit from using a paired-sample t test to better understand that phenomena. For example, when measuring intelligence, we could develop an intervention to help improve intelligence, and the compare before and after scores for each participant. I asked this question...
