A researcher wants to assess if the time of day during which one works affects job satisfaction. A study compared job satisfaction for day-shift nurses versus night-shift nurses. Independent samples of nurses from each group were obtained and their job satisfaction was measured on a numerical scale with higher scores indicating greater satisfaction. Identify the appropriate parameter for this situation and name an appropriate technique that might be performed provided the underlying assumptions are met.

A researcher is interested in assessing the impact of a number of changes in a factory on the job satisfaction of workers. Before the changes are implemented the researcher distributes a questionnaire to a sample of workers which measures their attitudes to their work and their overall job satisfaction. The same questionnaire is distributed to the same group of workers one month after the workplace changes were implemented, and again three months later. (a) Which parametric statistical technique could the researcher use to see if workers’ job satisfaction levels had changed across the three time periods measured? Briefly justify your answer.
