Question

Recent research has shown that creative people are more likely to cheat than their less creative counterparts (Gino & Ariely, 2011). Participants in the study first completed creativity assessment questionnaires and then returned to the lab several days later for a series of tasks. One task was a multiple-choice general knowledge test for which the participants circled their answers on a test sheet. Afterward, they were asked to transfer their answers to bubble sheets for computer scoring. However, the experimenter admitted that the wrong bubble sheet had been copied so that the correct answers were still faintly visible. Thus the participants had an opportunity to cheat and inflate their test scores. Higher scores were valuable because participants were paid based on the number of correct answers. However, the researchers had secretly coded the original tests and bubble sheets so that they could measure the degree of cheating for each participant. Assuming that the participants were divided into two groups based on their creativity scores,

However, the researchers had secretly coded the original tests and bubble sheets so that they could measure the degree of cheating for each participant. Assuming that the participants were divided into two groups based on their creativity scores, compute the t and report to two decimal places. [NOTE: Some values have changed from the previous question.) High Creativity Participants n = 10 M-6.2 SS - 928 Low Creativity Participants n = 10 M=5.4 SS = 108

Answer 1

t statistic

$= \frac{6.2-5.4}{\sqrt{\frac{92.8+108}{10+10-2}*(1/10 + 1/10)}}$

= 0.54
