Question

XCIO Dr. Moore is a cognitive eschatologist researching the relationship between life satisfaction and mortality salience. He recognizes that our country is highly divided and that people seem to be in a relatively constant state of bitter disagreement over a variety of issues. He believes that our disenchantment with one another follows from our lacking a fundamental appreciation for life and the experiences that it has to offer. Dr. Moore predicts that if people are made aware of real and present predictors of the world's demise they will become motivated to put aside trivial differences and come together to solve those problems, thereby increasing life satisfaction. Because proximal predictors of the world's demise are likely to be seen as more immediately relevant than distal predictors, Dr. Moore additionally hypothesizes that proximal predictors will have a stronger effect on life satisfaction than distal predictors. To test his hypotheses, Dr. Moore gathers seven participants and measures baseline mean life satisfaction scores for them throughout one month. Throughout the next month, participants listen to daily podcasts pertaining to the vulnerability of the Earth to astral bodies, especially focusing on a particular asteroid that is on course to collide with our planet. Throughout the last month, participants listen to daily podcasts that describe supervolcanoes that lie underground in various parts of the globe, especially focusing on the particularly massive supervolcano that lies beneath the entire western half of the United States. Throughout the two trial months, Dr. Moore continues to measure participant life satisfaction, Mean scores for each participant for each month are listed below Please test at the .05 level. Were Dr. Moore's hypotheses supported? If necessary, please calculate effect size and use a one- tailed Bonferroni's t as a post hoc test Baseline: 12, 8, 11. 5,7,15. 3 Asteroid: 18, 16, 22. 11.9.13,7 Volcano: 13.18, 19.7,5,8,9 There was a large positive effect of mortality salience on life sasisfaction Whion compared to their own basclines, participants had signihcantly higher lifc satisfaction when they were aware of the meteor coming toward Earth However, life satisfaction was not impacted by participant awareness of the supervolcanio such that life sapsfaction changed betwesn the basclinc month and the volcano month or the astcroid month and the voicano month.

Baseline: 12,8, 11, 5,7, 15, 3 Asteroid: 18, 16, 22, 11, 9, 13,7 Volcano: 13, 18, 19,7, 5,8,9 O There was a large positive effect of mortality salience on life satisfaction. When compared to their own baselines, participants had significantly higher life satisfaction when they were aware of the meteor coming toward Earth. However, life satisfaction was not impacted by participant awareness of the supervolcano such that life satisfaction changed between the baseline month and the volcano month or the asteroid month and the volcano month. This suggests that people may be happier if they stop arguing and focus on blowing up the massive space rock, perhaps because it is easier to imagine solutions to that problem than the problem of the supervolcano. O There was a signifhcant large positive effect of mortality salience on life satisfaction Participants had signihcantly higher life satisfaction when they were aware of the meteor coming toward Earth. and life satisfaction increased to an even greater degree when participants were aware of the supervolcano beneath their feet. Thus, all of Dr. Moore's hypotheses were supported, suggesting that awareness of the fleeting nature of life generates higher levels of life satisfaction small positive effect of mortality salience on life satisfaction such that. during the month where they There was a signiíhcant cither the aware of the asteroid that could destroy the world, participants were signifcantly higher in life satisfaction than they were in These results suggest that, while mortality salience does ere they were made aware of the supervolcano. baseline month or the month whe have a positive etffecet on life satisfaction as Dr. Moore predicted, distal predictors have a more potent impact on life satsf proximal predictors There were no effects of mortality salience on life satisfaction.
