Is Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) more effective in treating PTSD than Prolonged Exposure therapy (PE)? Does this question represent a correlational or experimental research design? Why?
Researchers investigate how the presence of cell phones influence the quality of human interaction. Subjects are randomly selected from a population and divided into an experimental group that is asked to leave their phones in the front of the room and a control group that are not asked to leave their cell phones at the front of the room. Subjects are left alone for 10 minutes and then asked to take a survey designed to measure quality of interactions they had with others in the experiment. What statistical test is appropriate?
NCI Cancer Bulletin, December 2, 2008 Volume 5 / Number 24 Title of the article: After Menopause, Weight Affects Breast Cancer Rates More than Mammography Use Women who are overweight or obese after menopause face an increased risk of breast cancer, but a large prospective cohort study indicates that the frequency of mammography use and screening accuracy are not the primary explanations for higher rates of breast cancer in these women. The same is true of large, invasive breast cancer tumors and advanced stage disease; risk increases with weight, but higher rates are not explained by the frequency or accuracy of screening mammography before breast cancer was diagnosed. The study appears in the December 3 Journal of the National Cancer Institute. Dr. Karla Kerlikowske of the San Francisco Veterans Affairs Medical Center and colleagues gathered data on 287,115 postmenopausal women who were registered in the Breast Cancer Surveillance Consortium database.

An HR expert at an insurance company is considering the introduction of personality tests in the process of recruiting sales agents. It is hypothesised that certain personality traits may contribute to being a successful sales agent, and therefore personality profiles can be used to select the best applicants for open positions. The introduction of personality measures in the recruitment process, however, is only meaningful if there is evidence that certain personality characteristics are related to job performance. To test whether success in this occupation is related to personality features, the expert conducts a study, in which a random sample of currently employed sales agents fill in a questionnaire measuring three traits: (1) extraversion, (2) conscientiousness and (3) agreeableness. Each trait is measured on a scale ranging between 0 and 10 points. To test whether the annual total value of insurance policies sold by an agent can be predicted from personality scores, a multiple…
3. Does stress affect the recall ability of police witnesses? This issue was studied in an experiment that tested eyewitness memory a week after a nonstressful interrogation of a cooperative suspect and a stressful interrogation [the way of questioning] of an uncooperative suspect. The numbers of details recalled a week after the incident are summarized in the margin (based on data from "Eyewitness Memory of Police Trainees for Realistic Role Plays," by Yuille et al., Journal of Applied Psychology, Vol. 79, No. 6). Use 0.01 level of significance to test the claim in the article that stress decreased the amount recalled. Assume equal population variances. Nonstress Stress n1 = 40 X1 = 53.3 S1 = 11.6 n2 = 40 X2 = 45.3 S2 = 13.2 a. Claim (in symbolic form): Но: На: b. level of significance: test-statistic: tail of distribution:_ c.

A doctor is studying the relationship between blood pressure and heartbeat abnormalities in her patients. She tests a random sample of her patients and notes their blood pressures (high, low, or normal) and their heartbeats (regular or irregular). She finds that: 14% have high blood pressure. • 22% have low blood pressure. 15% have an irregular heartbeat. • Of those with an irregular heartbeat, one-third have high blood pressure. • Of those with normal blood pressure, one-eighth have an irregular heartbeat. What portion of the patients selected have a regular heartbeat and low blood pressure? (0.2)
A 2012 survey of 417 American adults indicates that 15% of cell phone owners do their browsing on their phone rather than a computer or other device. According to an online article, a report from a mobile research company indicates that 38% of Chinese mobile web users only access the internet through their cell phones. We wish to conduct a hypothesis test to determine if these data provide strong evidence that the proportion of Americans who only use their cell phones to access the internet is less than the Chinese proportion of 38%. (a) The Null Hypothesis, in mathematical symbols, is: H0: p = ______ (b) The Alternative Hypothesis, in mathematical symbols, is: HA : p = _______ In both the null and alternative hypotheses, the symbol ( p ) is the proportion of American adult cell phone owners who do their browsing on their phone. (c) The standard error based on the null hypothesis is... :________ (d) Our data indicates a proportion of Americans who use their phones to browse is…

A researcher conducts a two-way ANOVA to determine how eating breakfast affects children's grades in school. Factor A has three levels: no breakfast, sugary breakfast, high protein breakfast. Factor B has two levels: males and females. Factor B has no main effect and there is no interaction effect. It is safe to conclude that _________. a. Factor A does not influence the participant's grades b. Factor B does not influence the participant's grades c. Factor A has an influence on the participant's grades d. Factor B has an influence on the participant's grades Clear my choice
When two independent variables produce effects when combined that would not be present if each independent variables was manipulated in a separate study, we say that there is O no main effect. O only a measured variable an interaction. O a planned comparison. rist and Stangor (2001) studied prejudice and found that you can't predict a person's behavior toward minorities on the basis of whether they are high or low
