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.

Strayer and colleagues have conducted many studies on the effects of cell phones on driver safety. In a typical study, participants are asked to drive through a neighbourhood in a driving simulator. Occasionally, and obstacle appears (a dog runs into the road, an area is closed off for construction, a traffic light suddenly turns red) and they measure the time required to brake (in seconds). In one study, 32 participants were randomly assigned to drive the route either in silence, or while talking to a confederate on a hands-free cell phone. Half the participants drove through a “novel” neighbourhood they had never seen before, and half drove through a simulation of their own neighbourhood. The JAMOVI analyses of this study are attached.

To further examine this relationship, a psychologist obtains a sample of n= 12 adults who each experienced 5 or young more different homes before they were 16 years old These participants were given a standardized well being questionnaire for which the general population has an average score of u = 40. The well-being scores for this sample are as follows: 38, 37,41, 35,42, 40, 33, 33, 36, 38, 32, 39. a. On the basis of this sample, is well-being for frequent movers significantly different from wellbeing in the general population? Use a two-tailed test with a = .05. b. Compute the estimated Cohen's d to measure the size of the difference. c.

Data for 89 patients are summarized below: Self-Report Facial Expression No Pain Pain No Pain 17 40 Pain 3 29 We'd like to determine if there is evidence of an association between a facial expression that reflects pain and self-report pain, because dementia patients do not always give a verbal indication that they are in pain. By using SPSS or Minitab, design the appropriate test and generate the data analyses. Relate the results of the test to the research question and conclude the findings.arrow_forward

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.

- Recent research indicates that the effectiveness of anti-depressant medication is directly related to the severity of the depression (Khan, Brodhead. Kolts, and Brown, 2005). Based on pre-treatment dcprcssion scores, paticnts werc divlded into four groups based on their level of depi ession. After receiving the antidepression medication, depi ession scores were measured again and the amount of improvement was recorded for cach pcrsion.

However, the results from other research suggest that the antioxidants in foods such as blueberries may reduce and even reverse these age-related declines (Joseph et al., 1999). To examine this phenomenon, suppose that a researcher obtains a sample of n = 16 adults who are between the ages of 65 and 75. The researcher uses a standardized test to measure cognitive performance for each individual. The participants then begin a 2-month program in which they receive daily doses of a blueberry supplement. At the end of the 2-month period, the researcher again measures cognitive performance for each participant. The results show an average increase in performance of Mp = 7.4 with SS = 1215. a.
