QUESTION 35 12-George has a low self-esteem and fears that his partner does not want to be with him despite his partner's affection for him. George sees his partner in a negative mood one day and does not know the cause, so he assumes he is the cause. George's assumption that he was the cause of his partner's negative mood is an example of: O Correspondence bias O Stereotyping O Perceptual confirmation O Cognitive dissonance QUESTION 36 12-Although Alexander is careful to treat all of his employees fairly, he secretly feels that those who graduated from the same business school that he attended are more competent employees than are those who graduated from rival schools. This example illustrates: O conformity O prejudice O discrimination O deindividuation QUESTION 37 12-Suppose that students are given two tests. Before the tests, students are told that men usually do better than women on test A but not on test B. In reality, there is no difference between the two tests. Which set of results would be predicted by the literature on stereotype threat? O Women will perform more poorly than men on both tests. O Women will perform better than men on test A but worse than men on test B. O Women will perform better than men on both tests. O Women will perform worse than men on test A but do just as well on test B.

Cognitive dissonance refers to the discomfort or tension that arises when a person holds conflicting beliefs or attitudes. In this case, George's low self-esteem and fear of his partner not wanting to be with him conflict with his partner's affection for him. To Show more…

1. A researcher wants to see if there are gender differences in the ability to detect whether someone is being deceptive or not. Twenty-five females and 25 males are recruited to participate in the experiment. All subjects are asked to view 20 videotaped clips of someone talking about what they did yesterday. Subjects are to decide for each clip whether the person is lying or not. The dependent measure is the number of correct responses that the subject gives (scores can range from 0-20). What test statistic would you use to analyze this dataset? A. Spearman correlation B. z-statistic C. one-way ANOVA D. independent samples t-test E. one-sample t-test 2. Darley and Latane (1968) asked subjects to participate in a discussion carried on over an intercom. Aside from the experimenter to whom they were speaking, subjects thought that there were zero, one, or four other people (bystanders) also listening over intercoms. Partway through the discussion, the experimenter feigned serious illness and asked for help. Darley and Latane noted whether or not the subject sought help for the experimenter as a function of the number of supposed bystanders. What test statistic should they have performed on this dataset? A. Chi-square test of independence B. related (repeated)-measures t-test C. two-way ANOVA D. one-way ANOVA E. independent samples t-test 3. Now, time to get back to the administrators. There are three possible responses, pick the correct one and then justify your argument. Here is one piece of information that may be helpful: ANOVA uses the F statistic, Regression uses the t statistics, but t^2=F. Here are the three options (pick one and defend): (1) ANOVA is better, (2) Regression is better, (3) They give the same results.

Question 1. Which test? (6pts) For each of the following research projects, please indicate which type of t test would be the most appropriate statistical test. a. Ryan investigated the effects of training people to use analogies in solving algebra problems. Participants were asked to try to solve 20 algebra word problems in 15 minutes. They were then given training in using analogies to solve algebra problems. After the training they were asked to solve another 20 problems in 15 minutes. b. Lynn looked at the effect of self-esteem and time pressure on creative problem solving. Participants took a self-esteem inventory and were sorted into a group with low self-esteem and a group with high self-esteem. The total number of problems solved by each group was calculated. c. Gerth investigated memory in the elderly. She compared men's versus women's recall. The number of recalled events was recorded. The 10 men recalled an average of 15 events with a standard deviation of 4 events. The 20 women recalled an average of 18 events with a standard deviation of 8 events. Is there a gender difference? d. Long-term average sale in your company has been $100 per transaction. You want your company to improve sales. After training your sales force, recent sales from a sample of 25 trained salesmen shows an average sale of $121 per transaction, with a standard deviation of $15. Do we have evidence that the training worked? e. Hannigan looked at the effect of color on memory. Each participant viewed faces where 20 were presented in black and white, and 20 were presented in color. The number of faces from each category (black and white or color) that were correctly identified in a memory test was recorded. f. You want to know if room color influences anxiety. Half your subjects sit in a blue room and half sit in a pink room. After 15 minutes the subjects rate their anxiety on a scale from 1 (not at all anxious) to 9 (extremely anxious).
