Question

Future Time Orientation and Condom Use for AIDS Prevention

Background Notes: Researchers administered questionnaires to male college students taking an introductory psychology course. Among other things, they measured future time orientation defined as planning ahead for future events and willingness to delay gratification. (Sample item: “I believe that a person’s day should be planned ahead.”) Based on the scores on the future time orientation scale, they split the male students into two groups – one low in future orientation and one high in future orientation. They also measured condom use for AIDS prevention. (Sample item: “I am more likely to initiate the use of a condom since I know about AIDS.) Higher scores on this condom use scale indicate being more likely to use a condom.

Make a prediction: Before examining the data and results, predict the results you will obtain.

Which group do you predict will have a higher mean score on condom use for AIDS prevention?

A. The group that has high future orientation scores.

B. The group that had low future orientation scores.

She has data from 120 women who are at least 5 years beyond their initial admission to the program. The women were measured on several variables including depression, propensity for substance abuse, daily life stress, amount of social support available to them, and their perception of the quality of social support they have. She also has records of the number of relapses each woman has had during the 5 year period. We will look at the relationships between two of these variables and the number of relapses.

Answer 1

the group that has high future orientation will have a higher mean score

for high future orientation
mean = 22.55 and standard deviation = 4.987
for low future orientation
mean = 17.2 and standard deviation = 8.904
assuming equal variance assumed

p-value of one-tailed test = 0.102/2 = 0.051

p-value is larger than 0.05

hence we fail to reject the null hypothesis
