Recent research most consistently supports the effectiveness of hypnosis in which of the following areas? a. Pain relief b. Recovery of lost memories c. Reduction of sleep deprivation d. Forcing people to act against their will e. Cessation of smoking
According to research published in Science (2004), the mere belief that you are receiving an effective treatment for pain can reduce the pain you actually feel. Researchers tested this placebo effect on 24 volunteers as follows: Each volunteer was put inside a magnetic resonance image (MRI) machine for two consecutive sessions. During the first session, electric shocks were applied to their arms and the blood oxygen level-dependent (BOLD) signal (a measure related to neural activity in the brain) was recorded during pain. The second session was identical to the first, except that, prior to applying the electric shocks, the researchers smeared a cream on the volunteer's arms. The volunteers were informed that the cream would block the pain when, in fact, it was just a regular skin location (i.e., a placebo). If the placebo is effective in reducing the pain experience, the BOLD measurements should be higher, on average, in the first MRI session than in the second. 1. Identify the target parameter for this study. 2. What type of design was used to collect the data? 3. The difference between the BOLD measurement in the first and second sessions were computed and summarized in the study as follows: d = .21, sd = .47. Use this information to compute the test statistic. 4. Compute p-value based on the table, and make a conclusion with Ě‘ = 0.05.

Hypothesis tests are proposed. For each hypothesis lest, a. identify the variable. b. identify the two populations. c. identify the pairs. d. identify the pained-difference variable. e. determine the null and alternative hypotheses. f. classify the hypothesis test as two tailed, left tailed, or right tailed. Hypnosis and Pain. In the paper "An Analysis of Factors That Contribute to the Efficacy of Hypnotic Analgesia" Journal of Abnormal Psychology. Vol. 96. No. 1, pp. 46-51), D. Price and J. Barber examined the effects of hypnosis on pain. They measured response to pain using a visual analogue scale (VAS), in centimeters, where higher VAS indicates greater pain. VAS sensory ratings were made before and after hypnosis on each of 16 subjects. A hypothesis test is to be performed to decide whether, on average, hypnosis reduces pain.
