8. Research shows that similarity in attitudes, beliefs, and interests plays an important role in interpersonal attraction. Thus in theory, one's attitude should be similar to that of his/ her relationship partner. Suppose a researcher developed a questionnaire that measures how liberal or conservative one's attitudes are. Low scores indicate that the person has liberal attitudes, whereas high scores indicate conservatism. The following hypothetical data are scores for married couples.

Resting heart rate varies among different people. Design an experiment and examine whether or not a particular variable (e.g. fitness level, smoking, activity, age, gender) has an effect on heart rate. Begin by making one or more observations. Then formulate a hypothesis that can be tested. Finally, design an experiment to test your hypothesis! You can use yourself and any person you can talk to including family and friends Observations: State one or more observations related to your scientific Observation(s): The Heart rate will change depending on activity Hypothesis: Generate a hypothesis and include a justification for your Hypothesis: Male that are active will have a higher hear rate than females Experiment: Describe your experiment below and state the independent and dependent variables you will be exploring. Explain any specific instructions, e.g. how it will be carried out, how any measurements are to be made, if needed, etc……

Kris works for the MESA Air Pollution Study at UW, and studies the correlation be- tween air pollution and the disease atherosclerosis. Nationally, 40% of adults suffer from atherosclerosis. Kris suspects that the proportion of people with atherosclerosis in high- pollution areas is higher. In a random sample of 600 residents of high-pollution areas, he finds that 270 (45%) subjects have atherosclerosis. At the 1% level (α = .01), is this good evidence that people in high-pollution areas are more likely to have atherosclerosis? (a) Which of the following is the Ha ? (research claim or alternate) A. Ha : p ≥ 0.40 B. Ha : pb ≥ 0.40 C. Ha : p > 0.40 D. Ha : p > b 0.40 E. Ha : p > b 0.45 F. Ha : p > 0.45 G. Ha : pb ≥ 0.45 H. Ha : p ≥ 0.45 I. None of these Hint: First read the problem and using my notes (or Hawkes) for 9.1, set up H0 and Ha . Then pick the right Ha from the above list. Dont try to guess the answer from the above list.

A student noticed that when she gets less than 8 hours of sleep at night, she scores lower on her test grades. Can one conclude that this positive correlation shows a causal relationship? OYes, because it is well known that less sleep lowers test scores OYes, because it is not a negative correlation O No, because all students get less than 8 hours of sleep at night No, because it is possible that the student gets lower test grades because of another factor, such as not studying
Warren wants to know if the amount of coffee that you drink is related to the number of hours that you stay awake. He recruits 50 participants using random sampling to report how much coffee they drank and the time of the day that they went to sleep. He then performs a correlation to determine the association between the amount of coffee that was consumed and the number of hours that they stayed awake. There was a statistically significant positive correlation between amount of coffee that participants drank and the number of hours that they stayed awake, r(49) = .82, p < .05, two-tailed, r2 = .08. This was a small effect – 8% of the variance in the amount of coffee drank is explained by hours that you stay awake (and vice versa).

Researchers were interested in assessing whether stress levels at the beginning of the semester are related to (i.e., correlated with) stress levels during finals week. To test this, stress was measured in 5 students at the start of the semester and then again at the end of the semester during finals week.
