The paper "Deception and Design: The Impact of Communication Technology on Lying Behavior"+ describes an investigation into whether lying is less common in face-to-face communication than in other forms of
communication such as phone conversations or e-mail. Participants in this study were 30 students in an upper-division communications course at Cornell University who received course credit for participation. Participants
were asked to record all of their social interactions for a week, making note of any lies told.
Based on data from these records, the authors of the paper concluded that students lie more often in phone conversations than in face-to-face conversations and more often in face-to-face conversations than in e-mail.
Discuss the limitations of this study, commenting on the way the sample was selected and potential sources of bias. (Select all that apply.)
O Students knew that they were surveying themselves as to the truthfulness of their interactions, which could have…
“Are Women Really More Talkative Than Men?” is the title of an article that appeared in the journal Science. In the article, Mehl, Vazire, Ramirez-Esparza, Slatcher, & Pennebaker (2007) report the results of a study of 396 men and women. Each participant wore a microphone that recorded every word he or she uttered. The researchers counted the number of words uttered by men and women and compared them. The data below are fictional but they re-create the pattern that Mehl and colleagues observed:
Men: 16,345 17,222 15,646 14,889 16,701
Women: 17,345 15,593 16,624 16,696 14,200
Conduct steps for hypothesis testing.
Calculate the 95% confidence interval.
(MX - MY)lower = -1481.575
(MX - MY)upper = 1343.575
Dr. Guidry conducts a study examining the relationship between the number of
friends one has and the experience of daily stress and life satisfaction. She randomly
samples 1,500 elderly men and women in Nashville, Tennessee (the state capital),
located in the southern United States.
Dr. Guidry submits her study for publication in a scientific journal. If one of the peer
reviewers is concerned about the external validity of her study, which of the
following is the most important aspect of Dr. Guidry's study to consider?
the number of significant findings
the random sampling technique used to recruit the participants
the number of people in the sample
the use of three measured variables
