Assume now that the educational psychologist had no a priori hypotheses about the nature of any differences. Instead, the researcher wants to compute all possible pairwise comparisons post-hoc. Compute the appropriate post-hoc comparison between Methods A and B (assuming that all possible pairwise comparisons are being computed as well). What are your conclusions?

An educational psychologist has developed a mediation technique to reduce anxiety. The psychologist selected a sample of high anxiety students that are asked to do the mediation at two therapy sessions a week apart. The participants' anxiety is measured the week before the first session and at each subsequent session. Below are the anxiety scores for the participants. What can the psychologist conclude with α= 0.05? before session 1 session 2 9 6 8 5 8 6 9 6 8...
Application Exercise: A university instructor uses different teaching methods on three separate computer science classes.

a) Drop-down options: na, one-way ANOVA, within subjects ANOVA, or two-way ANOVA b) Drop-down options: Yes or No c) Drop-down options: na, Trivial Effect, Small Effect, Medium Effect, Large Effect e & f) Drop-down options: Yes or No Application Exercise: A social psychologist is interested in how optimism is related to life satisfaction. A sample of individuals categorized as optimistic were asked about past, present, and projected future satisfaction with their lives. Higher scores on the life satisfaction measure indicate...
A psychologist was interested in the effects of age and stress on memory. Her rationale was that memory would become impaired following a stressor, and this would be excerbated with increasing. She recruited 48 participants: 24 young (ages between 18 - 35) and 24 old (ages between 55 - 72). Both young and old participants were randomly assigned to one of three stress conditions: Control (sitting in a quiet room); Low stress (listening to a 1 hour Hillary Clionton speech);...
A team of comparative psychologists are interested in the maternal behavior or rats. In an experiment, 10, 20, and 30 day-old rat pups were separated from their mothers. They then recorded the time (in seconds) required for the mother rats to retrieve the pups. The psychologists were interest in whether retrieval time varies with age. The data are given below. What can be concluded with an α of 0.05? 10 days old 20 days old 30 days old 16 11...
