REVIEW QUESTIONS 379

(16.9) Given the aggression scores below for Outcome A of the sleep deprivation

experiment, verify that, as suggested earlier, these mean differences

shouldn’t be taken seriously by testing the null hypothesis at the .05 level

of significance. Use the computation formulas for the various sums of

squares and summarize results with an ANOVA table.

(*16.10) Another psychologist conducts a sleep deprivation experiment. For reasons

beyond his control, unequal numbers of subjects occupy the different

groups. (Therefore, when calculating in SS between and SS within, you

must adjust the denominator term, n, to reflect the unequal numbers of

subjects in the group totals.)

(a) Summarize the results with an ANOVA table. You need not do a step-bystep

hypothesis test procedure.

(b) If appropriate, estimate the effect size with h2.

(c) If appropriate, use Tukey’s HSD test (with –n 5 4 for the sample size, n)

t–o identify pairs of means that contribute to the significant F, given that X0 5 2.60, –X24 5 5.33, and –X48 5 9.50.

(d) If appropriate, estimate effect sizes with Cohen’s d.

(e) Indicate how all of the above results would be reported in the literature, given

sample standard deviations of s 0 5 2.07, s 24 5 1.53, and s 48 5 2.08.

(*16.12) For some experiment, imagine four possible outcomes, as described in

the following ANOVA table.

REVIEW QUESTIONS 381

(a) How many groups are in Outcome D?

(b) Assuming groups of equal size, what’s the size of each group in Outcome

C?

(c) Which outcome(s) would cause the null hypothesis to be rejected at the

.05 level of significance?

(d) Which outcome provides the least information about a possible treatment

effect?

(e) Which outcome would be the least likely to stimulate additional research?

(f) Specify the approximate p -values for each of these outcomes.

Answers on page 524.

(16.14) The F test describes the ratio of two sources of variability: that for subjects

treated differently and that for subjects treated similarly. Is there any sense

in which the t test for two independent groups can be viewed likewise?

differ significantly [ F (2,9) 5 13.70, MSE 5 3.87, p , .05, ? 2 5 .75]. According

to Tukey’s HSD test, the mean differences between the 24- and 48-hour groups

(4.17) and between the 0- and 48-hour groups (6.90) are significant ( HSD 5

3.87, p , .05, d 5 2.12, 3.50).

(b) Students who attend either two or three workshop sessions initiate, on average,

more eye contacts than those who attend zero sessions. Furthermore, those

who attend three sessions initiate, on average, more eye contacts than those who

attend one session. All three significant differences had large effect sizes, with d

values ranging from 1.55 to 2.69.
