What statistical test should she use to see if roller coaster riders differ in the mean level of sensation-seeking from the general population?

Checking the assumptions for a one-way, repeated-measures ANOVA and deciding if it is OK to proceed with the test

11.63 The dean of retention at a college wanted to find out if academic problems or social problems caused students to drop out at her college. She took a random sample of first-year students at her college and, on the basis of SAT scores, matched them into groups of three. One member of each group was then randomly assigned to be in (a) the control group, (b) the academic enhancement group, or (c) the social enhancement group. Nothing was done to the control participants. The academic enhancement participants met together as a group 10 times over the course of the semester, to cover study skills, time management, test anxiety, and so on. The social enhancement participants also met together as a group 10 times over the course of the semester, though the focus was on social skills, dating, alcohol safety, and the like. At the end of the semester, she compared the three group means on the interval-level Adjustment to College Inventory.

Writing a complete interpretation

11.99 Researchers from PETA and NIH collaborated on a study to examine the effect, on rats, of being reared in laboratory settings. Sets of 3 rats from 8 litters were randomly assigned to three conditions: (1) being reared in a standard laboratory setting, (2) being reared in an enriched laboratory setting, and (3) being reared in a setting that mimics the wild (e.g., the rats have to forage for their own food; food is occasionally sparse and of poor quality). When the rats reached adulthood, they were given a series of behavioral tasks from which their rat IQ (RIQ) scores were calculated. RIQ scores are interval-level and are scored like human IQ scores. The three means were 95.00 (normal lab), 108.00 (enriched lab), and 94.00 (mimicked wild). No nonrobust assumptions were violated and a one-way, repeated-measures ANOVA was completed with α = .05. The results are shown below. Fcv was 3.739, η2 was calculated as 37.14%, and HSD was found to be 9.32. Write a four-point interpretation.

11.100 A women’s studies professor was curious about the long-term effect, on men, of taking a women’s studies class. She thought that it would make them more open-minded and less sexist. She obtained a random sample of 10 first-year male students at her university and assigned them to take Introduction to Women’s Studies. She administered a scale that measures sexist beliefs before the class started, again at the end of the semester, and again 10 years later. The scale measures at the interval level and has a mean of 50, with a standard deviation of 10. Scores above 50 indicate a person has more sexist beliefs than average; scores below 50 indicate a person has fewer sexist beliefs than average. Here are the mean scores for her 10 participants: 54.00 (pre-class), 46.00 (post-class), 38.00 (10 years later). No assumptions were violated and a one-way, repeated-measures ANOVA, with the alpha set at .05, was completed. Results are shown below. Fcv = 3.555, η2 = 33.21%, HSD = 5.10. Given this information, complete a four-point interpretation.

Completing all six steps of hypothesis testing

11.101 A psychologist studying addictions investigated the effectiveness of three different treatments for alcoholism on the number of strong urges to drink alcohol that were experienced at the end of treatment. He compared three treatments: (1) Alcoholics Anonymous, (2) individual psychotherapy, and (3) a medication that is supposed to reduce urges. He matched 30 alcoholics into groups of three based on the severity of their addiction and then randomly assigned them to the three different treatments. (Each person assigned to Alcoholics Anonymous attended a different group.) At the end of treatment, he had the participants keep a diary of how many strong urges to drink alcohol they experienced each day. Here are the results:

Alcoholics Anonymous Individual Psychotherapy Medication
M 8.00 6.00 6.00
s 5.42 4.52 4.37

Given SSSubjects = 532.00, SSTreatment = 26.67, SSResidual = 88.00, and SSTotal = 646.67, complete the appropriate statistical test and interpret the results. (Don’t forget to follow all six steps of the hypothesis test.)

11.102 A psychologist teaching introductory psychology wanted to demonstrate the effects of mere exposure on liking. On the first day of class, each of her 20 students went to a private booth to view a very abstract piece of modern art. Each was asked to rate how much he or she liked it on a scale ranging from −10 (extremely dislike) to +10 (extremely like). She followed the same procedure once a week for the rest of the semester. At the middle, and again at the end, of the semester, she had the students individually rate their liking of the picture. Here are the results:

First Class Mid-Semester Last Class
M −6.30 −2.40 1.70
s 2.85 2.35 1.75

417

Given SSSubjects = 176.67, SSTreatment = 640.13, SSResidual = 140.53, and SSTotal = 957.33, complete the appropriate statistical test and interpret the results. (Don’t forget to follow all six steps of the hypothesis test.)

SPSS

Data entry in SPSS for one-way, repeated-measures ANOVA is similar to data entry for a paired-samples t test—each case has a row to itself and the repeated measures each have a column. Figure 11.11 shows the data from the ADHD/level of distraction study in the SPSS Data Editor.

The repeated-measures ANOVA commands are not easy to find in SPSS. They are found under “Analyze” and then “General Linear Model” (see Figure 11.12).

image
Figure 11.22: Figure 11.12 Finding Repeated-Measures ANOVA in SPSS The commands for conducting a repeated-measures ANOVA in SPSS are initiated within “General Linear Model.”
(Source: SPSS)

Clicking on “Repeated Measures” opens up a new dialog box, seen in Figure 11.13. “Treatment” is named as the “Within-Subject Factor.” There are three levels of treatment, so the “Number of Levels” is “3.”

After clicking on the “Add” button (see Figure 11.13), the commands seen in Figure 11.14 open by clicking the “Define” button. Notice that two of the three levels of the “Within-Subjects Variables” are already defined (the variables “pre” and “post”). The third level, “f_u,” is highlighted prior to using the arrow key to send it over.

When all three variables have been defined, the “OK” button on the bottom right becomes active. Clicking the OK button causes SPSS to complete the analysis. The printout that SPSS generates for a repeated-measures ANOVA is fairly detailed, but most of the data is not relevant for introductory statistics. Figure 11.15 shows the printout that is most similar to the ANOVA summary table found in Table 11.5.

In this summary table, SPSS reports only two sources of variability, the one called treatment and the one called residual. Here, treatment is called “treatment” because it was labeled that way in Figure 11.13. Residual is called “error.” For a basic repeated-measures ANOVA, only pay attention to the first row (of the four rows) for each source, the one labeled “Sphericity Assumed.” The first rows are the only lines with integer values for the degrees of freedom. (The slight differences between values calculated in the text and by SPSS are due to the number of decimal places carried.)

Remember, SPSS reports exact significance levels. Here, the significance level for the F ratio of 18.743 is .003. And .003 ≤ .05, so the results are statistically significant. APA format prefers the use of exact significance levels, so the results would be reported as F (2, 6) = 18.74, p = .003.
