Psychology. People approach certain situations with "mixed emotions." For example, public speaking often brings forth the positive response of recognition and the negative response of failure. Which dominates? J. S. Brown, in an experiment on approach and avoidance, trained rats by feeding them from a goal box. The rats received mild electric shocks from the same goal box. This established an approach-avoidance conflict relative to the goal box. Using an appropriate apparatus. Brown arrived at the following relationships:
where
the rat is placed
(A) Graph the approach equation and the avoidance equation in the same
(B) Find the value of
(C) What do you think the rat would do when placed the distance

- A group of college students believes that herbal tea has remarkable restorative powers. To test their theory, they make weekly visits to a local nursing home, visiting with residents, talking with them, and serving them herbal tea. After several months, many of the residents are more cheerful and healthy. (a) Which of the following may be correctly concluded from this study? A. Herbal tea does improve one's emotional state, at least for the residents of nursing homes. B. The results of the study are not convincing because the effect of herbal tea is confounded with several other factors. C. The results of the study are not convincing because only a local nursing home was used and only for a few months. D. There is some evidence that herbal tea may improve one's emotional state. The results would be completely convincing if a scientist had conducted the study rather than a group of college students.

He decides to see if there is a relationship between the number of tired or sleepy behaviors (yawns, nodding-off, head on desk) a student exhibits and their test score. He has his assistant observe 10 students and count the number of tired behaviors during one week of class. de Tired Behaviors 2 2 1 7 0. 3 6. Test Score 73 63 89 85 90 58 97 90 79 41 a.

The researcher uses a box of sweetened colorful cereal and a box of unsweetened tan colored cereal. The research finds that the group of preschoolers ate more of the sweetened colorful cereal and therefore prefers the sweetened cereal. Which two variables are confounded in this experiment? A. color of the cereal and children's gender O B. color of the cereal and sweetness of the cereal O C. sweetness of the cereal and amount of eating D. children's gender and amount of eating Reset Selection MAR 18 étv AA A O gO F3 AA F4 F7 F8 F9 F10 F11 F12 #3 2$ % & * 3 4 5 dele E R Y U %3D G H J Karrow_forward
- ]14. Many animals, including humans, tend to avoid direct eye contact and even patterns that look like eyes. Some insects, including moths, have evolved eye-spot patterns on their wings to help ward off predators. Scaife (1976) reports a study examining how eye-spot patterns affect the behaviour of birds. In the study, the birds were tested in a box with two chambers and were free to move from one chamber to another. In one chamber, two large eye-spots were painted on one wall. The other chamber had plain walls. The researcher recorded the amount of time each bird spent in the plain chamber during a 60-minute session. Suppose the study produced a mean of M 34.5 minutes on the plain chamber with SS = 210 for a sample of n = 15 birds. (Now: If the eye spots have no effect. then the birds should spend an average of u = 30 minutes in each chamber.) a. Is this sample sufficient to conclude that the eyes pots have a significant influence on the bird's behaviour?

The amount of time spent studying is held constant. All students then take the same exam on the material. a. What is the independent variable in this study? b. What is the dependent variable in this study? c. Identify the independent variable manipulated or participant variable? d. Is the independent variable manipulated or a participant variable?arrow_forwardA study is testing the effectiveness of a new allergy medication. Sixty people who reported they experience allergies were randomly assigned to one of two groups: one with the new medication, and another with a placebo. After two weeks, the subjects were surveyed by technicians to determine their level of allergic symptoms. Which of the following would benefit this experiment the most? A. This experiment should be double blind. Neither the subject nor the technician should know which group is receiving the new medication and which is receiving the placebo. This method would control for the placebo effect and prevent any effect on the response. B. This experiment should be single blind. The subjects do not know which treatment they are receiving to control for the placebo effect, but the technicians need to know which group received which treatment. C. This experiment should be single blind. The subjects know which treatment they are receiving but the technicians do not know which…arrow_forward

If the sample is used for a hypothesis test, what does the alternative hypothesis (H1) put forth about the treatment? A. The treatment has no effect on anxiety. B.

Based on pretreatment depression scores, patients were divided into four groups based on their level of depression. After receiving the antidepressant medication, depression scores were measured again and the amount of improvement was recorded for each patient. The following data are similar to the results of the study. Low Moderate High Moderate Moderately Severe Severe 1.6 2.9 3.8 3.4 0.9 1.3 3 2.8 1.8 3.1 3.3 3.2 2.7 3.7 2.4 4.9 3.8 2.9 3.7 3.2 4.9 1.7 From this table, conduct an one-way ANOVA.
