ATC13.36 "Cry wolf" effect in air traffic controlling. Researchers atAlion Science Corporation and New Mexico State Universitycollaborated on a study of how air traffic controllers respondto false alarms (Human Factors, Aug. 2009). The researcherstheorize that the high rate of false alarms regarding midaircollisions leads to the "cry wolf" effect, i.e., the tendency forair traffic controllers to ignore true alerts in the future. Theinvestigation examined data on a random sample of 437 con-flict alerts. Each alert was first classified as a "true" or "false"alert. Then, each was classified according to whether therewas a human controller response to the alert. The numberof the 437 alerts that fall into each of the combined cate-gories is given as follows: True alert/No response-3; Truealert/Response-231; False alert/No response-37; False alert/Response-166. This summary information is saved in theATC file. Do the data indicate that the response rate of airtraffic controllers to midair collision alarms differs for trueand false alerts? Test using a = .05. What inference can youmake concerning the "cry wolf" effect?

Elissa Epel, a professor of health psychology at the University of California–San Francisco, studied women in high- and low-stress situations. She found that women with higher cortisol responses to stress ate significantly more sweet food and consumed more calories on the stress day compared with those with low cortisol responses, and compared with themselves on lower stress days. Increases in negative mood in response to the stressors were also significantly related to greater food consumption. These results suggest that psychophysiological responses to stress may influence subsequent eating behavior. Over time, these alterations could impact both weight and health. You are interested in studying whether students living in the dorms or students living off campus have higher cortisol levels. You ask a sample of n₁ = 25 students living in the dorms and n₂ = 30 students living off campus to record their afternoon cortisol levels for a week. The average cortisol level for students living…

Harker and Keltner (2001) examined whether emotional well-being in later life could be predicted from the facial expressions of 141 women in their college yearbook photos. The predictor variable of greatest interest was the “positivity of emotional expression” in the college yearbook photo. They also had these photographs rated on physical attractiveness. They contacted the same women for follow-up psychological assessments at age 52 (and at other ages; data not shown here). Here are the correlations of these two predictors (based on ratings of the yearbook photo) with several of their self-reported social and emotional outcomes at age 52: (scores in screen shot) a. Which of the six correlations above are statistically significant (i) if you test each correlation using α = .05, two-tailed, and (ii) if you set EWα = .05 and use Bonferroni-corrected tests? b. How would you interpret their results? c. Can you make any causal inferences from this study? Give reasons. d. Would it be…
Does posting calorie content for menu items affectpeople’s choices in fast-food restaurants? According to results obtained by Elbel, Gyamfi, and Kersh(2011), the answer is no. The researchers monitoredthe calorie content of food purchases for children andadolescents in four large fast-food chains before andafter mandatory labeling began in New York City. Although most of the adolescents reported noticing thecalorie labels, apparently the labels had no effect ontheir choices. Data similar to the results obtained showan average of M = 786 calories per meal with s =85 for n =100 children and adolescents before thelabeling, compared to an average of M = 772 calorieswith s = 91 for a similar sample of n = 100 after themandatory posting.a. Use a two-tailed test with a = .05 to determinewhether the mean number of calories after theposting is significantly different than before caloriecontent was posted.b. Calculate r2to measure effect size for the mean difference.
Summers et al (2021) hypothesised that people believe that pain is influenced by socio-economic status (SES); specifically, that low SES individuals are believed to be less sensitive to pain. To test their hypothesis, they had participants read a description of a target person (accompanied by a random photo) that included several cues to SES (education, job, income, neighbourhood) and to estimate target's pain sensitivity to injuries on the Pain Sensitivity Scale. Half of the participants read descriptions of low-SES individuals, and half read descriptions of high-SES individuals. After conducting the original study, they ran a follow-up study to determine whether the effect generalises to medical professionals. They repeated the study, but with two groups of participants - medical professionals and undergraduate students. All other aspects of the study were the same. Which of the following statements is true about this study (select all that apply)? O a. Results should be analysed in…
McAllister et al. (2012) compared varsity football and hockey players with varsity athletes from noncontact sports to determine whether exposure to head impacts during one season have an effect on cognitive performance. In the study, tests of new learning performance were significantly poorer for the contact sport athletes compared to the noncontact sport athletes. The following table presents data similar to the results obtained in the study. Noncontact Athletes: 10, 8, 7, 9, 13, 7, 6, 12 Contact Athletes: 7, 4, 9, 3, 7, 6, 10, 2 a. Are the test scores significantly lower for the contact sport athletes than for the noncontact athletes? Use a one-tailed test with =.05 t-critical= t= b.

The paper "A Cross-National Relationship Between Sugar Consumption and Major Depression?" (Depression and Anxiety [2002]: 118-120) concluded that there was a correlation between refined sugar consumption (calories per person per day) and annual rate of major depression (cases per 100 people) based on data from 6 countries. The following data were read from a graph that appeared in the paper: рaper: Depression Sugar Consumption Rate Country Korea 150 2.3 United States 300 3.0 France 350 4.4 Germany 375 5.0 Canada 390 5.2 New Zealand 480 5.7 Compute and interpret the correlation coefficient for this data set. . Is it reasonable to conclude that increasing sugar consumption leads to higher rates of depression? Explain. Do you have any concerns about this study that would make you hesitant to generalize these conclusions to other countries?
Carter et al investigated the effect of age at onset of bipolar disorder on the course of the illness. One of the variables studied was the subjects' family history. The table below shows the frequency of a family history of mood disorders in the two groups of interest: early age at onset (18years or younger) and later age at onset (later than 18 years old). Can we conclude on the basis of these data that subjects 18 or younger differ from subjects older than 18 with respect to family histories ofmood disorders?

Hepatitis B and Pancreatic Cancer. The article “Study Links Hepatitis B and Cancer of Pancreas” by D. Grady, appeared in the September 29, 2008 issue of the NewYork Times. It reported that, for the first time, a study showed that people with pancreatic cancer are more likely than those without the disease to have been infected with the hepatitis B virus. The study by M. Hassan et al., titled “Association Between Hepatitis B Virus and Pancreatic Cancer” (Journal of Clinical Oncology, Vol. 26, No. 28, pp. 4557–4562) compared 476 people who had pancreatic cancer with 879 healthy control subjects. All were tested to see whether they had ever been infected with the viruses that cause hepatitis B or hepatitis C. The results were that no connection was found to hepatitis C, but the cancer patients were twice as likely as the healthy subjects to have had hepatitis B. The researchers noted, however, that “. . . while the study showed an association, it did not prove cause and effect. More work…
