Lab 8
1.
Does observing rare events lead people to believe it took longer (more dice rolls)
compared to more common events?
2.
The independent variable is the condition participants are in. This is a categorical variable
with two levels.
3.
The dependent variable is the number of dice rolls. It is a continuous variable.
4.
This is a between-subjects design. It is an experimental design. Independent samples t-
test.
5.
t(5940) = 24.0, p > .001, d = 0.63
6.
The results are statistically significant. The rare condition thought it took a greater
number of dice rolls compared to the common condition. Our effect size was similar but
slightly smaller than the original study.
7.
Are implicit attitudes about math related to self-reported, explicit attitudes about math?
8.
The implicit attitudes about math and explicit attitudes about math. Both variables are
continuous.
9.
No, there are no causal claims being made. The design is likely non-experimental.
10. Within-subjects design since there are no conditions. It is a non-experimental design. The
statistical test is a correlation.
11. r(6338) = .88, p > .001
12. Yes, our result is statistically significant. There is a very strong positive relationship
between implicit attitudes about math and explicit attitudes about math. Our effect size
was similar but slightly smaller than the original study.
13. Does whether you paid for football tickets or not affect whether they attend the game
during cold temperatures?
14. The independent variable is the condition participants are in. It is a categorical variable
with two levels.
15. The dependent variable is the likelihood of attending the game. It is a continuous
variable.
16. Between-subjects design. It is an experimental design. Independent samples t-test.
17. t(6328) = 10.8, p > .001, d = 0.72
18. The test is statistically significant. The paid condition had a higher likelihood of attending
the game compared to the free condition. Our effect size is similar but slightly higher
than the original study.
19. Does the gain framing affect people’s willingness to take risks compared to the loss
framing?
20. The independent variable is the condition participants are placed in. It is a categorical
condition with two levels.
21. The dependent variable is the program that participants choose. It is a categorical variable
with two levels.
22. Between -subjects design. Chi-square test.
23. X^2(1, n = 6271) = 516, p > .001, V = 0.29
24. It is statistically significant. Participants in the gain condition were more likely to pick
the program with the exact results (less likely to take the risk) compared to participants in
the loss condition who were more likely to choose the probability outcome and take the
risk.
