Joanna Q.
In addition to being a freestanding diagnosis, agoraphobia is most often seen in association with which other psychiatric diagnosis? (A) $\quad$ Obsessive-compulsive disorder (B) $\quad$ Avoidant personality disorder (C) $\quad$ Generalized anxiety disorder (D) $\quad$ Panic disorder
People with agoraphobia are so filled with anxiety about being in public places that they seldom leave their homes. As a clinical psychologist, you decide to explore the benefits of a medium-term treatment. A sample of ten clients with agoraphobia are recruited to participate in your study. Each reports how many times he or she left their home in the previous month. Each client then receives therapy that involves a combination of relaxation training and exposure to going out in public with the therapist for progressively longer intervals. Following two months of this therapy, each client reports the number of times he or she left home in the first month after therapy has ended. Using the data below, conduct the appropriate statistical test (by hand) to determine whether the therapy resulted in a significant change in the number of trips away from home. As always, be sure to provide the null and alternate hypotheses as well as an appropriate summary statement. Do your work by hand and be sure to show your work. Use ̑ = .05.
