UMW decide to see whether performance-related pay would improve moraleamongst their lavatory cleaners. Each month, twenty lavatory cleaners are paid on thebasis of the length of the bristles on their lavatory brush (on the assumption that theharder they have worked, the shorter their bristles will be). Another twenty are paid theirusual near-subsistence-level wages, regardless of how hard they work. After 6 months,each worker is asked to rate how happy they are in their job, using a 10 item job satisfaction scale.Which test would you use to see if performance-related pay has affected workers'morale?

a measure of effect size that assesses the difference between two means in terms of standard deviation, not standard error

Cohen's d

describes the relationship between two variables-- the usual measure describes the relationship between two equal-interval numeric variables

Correlation

1. number of predictor variables 2. because multiple predictors overlap in predicting the DV the standardized regression coefficient (β) for each predictor variable is not the same as the ordinary correlation coefficient (r) of that predictor with the criterion variable--both the standardized and the regular regression coefficients are about the unique, distinctive contribution of the variable, excluding any overlap with other predictor variables

Difference between a simple regression and a multiple regression?

In a simultaneous model, all IVs are treated simultaneously and on an equal footing. Such a research strategy is clearly most appropriate when we have no logical or theoretical basis for considering any variable to be prior to any other In a hierarchical regression model the IVs are entered cumulatively according to some specified hierarchy which is dictated in advance by the purpose and logic of the research

Difference between a simultaneous and hierarchical regression

The principle is that for any correlation between variables X and Y, there are at least three possible directions of causality: 1. X could be causing Y. 2. Y could be causing X. 3. Some third factor could be causing both X and Y.

Dr. Stahlman, our resident "rat runner", has two types of rats (20 brown rats and 20 white rats). He hypothesizes that brown rats learn faster than white rats when fruit loops are used as a reward, but that white rats learn faster than brown rats when Cocoa Puffs are the reward. Ten rats of each color are measured using Fruit Loops as a reward. The other rats are measured using Cocoa Puffs. The number of errors the rats make when learning the maze is recorded. What test should Dr. Stahlman run?

It's often said that you're hungry again soon after a Chinese meal. An experimenter puts this to the test. There are four conditions, and each participant does each one, on a different day of the week (order of conditions is counterbalanced across participants). In the first, participants eat an Indian takeaway; in the second, they eat a pizza; in the third, they eat a Chinese takeaway; and in the fourth, they eat a Kentucky Fried Chicken takeaway. All the meals are equated for bulk of contents and calorific value. The dependent variable is the loudness of each participants' stomach rumblings (in decibels), measured one hour after they have eaten the meal. These measurements are normally distributed. Which test should be used to decide whether there is a difference between these meals in terms of how quickly people get hungry again after eating them?

Previous research has found that we are better at recognizing faces of our own race compared to those of other races. This effect is known as 'Own-Race Bias' in face recognition. Imagine that you wanted to investigate whether this own-race recognition advantage exists for Asian and Caucasian adults. You could show participants of both races images of faces that are both Asian and Caucasian. (In other words, each participants sees both Asian and Caucasian faces). After a short break, you could then show them a larger pool of faces and ask participants to identify whether or not they had seen them before. In this example, there are two independent variables: 1) Race of Participant which has two levels: Asian and Caucasian. 2) Face Race also with two levels: Asian and Caucasian. The number of faces participants correctly recognize could be taken as the dependent variable. Assume that you have 50 Asian participants and 50 Caucasian participants in your study. What would be your total degrees of freedom for this study?

Purpose of multiple regression

two way mixed ANOVA

Some TV viewers in England complain to the BBC that Jeremy Clarkson's programme "Top Gear" is a bad influence on young drivers, given that it extols the virtues of speeding while driving. To determine whether there is any foundation to these claims, a researcher uses a speed camera to measure the speeds of 400 drivers on an A-road, the morning before the programme is transmitted. He follows this procedure again, the morning afterwards. Each car is photographed, so that the experimenter can select only those drivers who travelled that route on both occasions, and hence whose speeds were measured twice. The selected drivers were then contacted and asked whether or not they had watched "Top Gear" that week. Which test would you use to see whether drivers who watched "Top Gear" drove faster the following morning than drivers who did not watch it?

Suppose you conduct a study investigating the impact of an intervention on participants' depression symptoms (using pre-test and post-test design), but also investigating whether the impact varies for age (teenagers, middle-aged adults, elderly adults). You recruit 20 people from each age group, perform the intervention on the age groups, and measure their depression symptoms over time (Time 1 = pre-intervention and Time 2 = after the intervention). In the question above, which variable would you need to check to make sure it meets the sphericity assumption?

The local Fredericksburg ale, "Fred Red", is reputed to be imbued with truly magical medicinal properties that increase physical stamina. To investigate its effects, a researcher asks four groups of cyclists to cycle up a part of the Blue Ridge Parkway. One group drinks no Fred Red beforehand; another group drink one pint each; a third group drink two pints each; and a fourth group drink four pints each. The dependent variable is how fast each cyclist gets from the bottom of the mountain to the top. Which test would you use to see if drinking Fred Red affects the cyclists' speed of ascent?

Which of the following represents error in an ANOVA (if you squared it?)

Cohen's d

Which of the following would you associate with a t-test?

It mixes a between subjects variable and a within subjects variable

Why is a mixed ANOVA called "mixed?"

to reduce the chances of obtaining false-positive results (type I errors) when multiple pair wise tests are performed on a single set of data. Put simply, the probability of identifying at least one significant result due to chance increases as more hypotheses are tested

Why use a bonferroni correction?

the number of standard deviations that a score is from the mean. Whatever the range of values of the variable, if you change your raw scores to high raw score = positive; low raw = negative -a very standard way just how high or low each score is in relation to the mean Pro: directly comparable from one variable to another always range between -1 and +1

Z-score

The significance level, also denoted α, is the probability of rejecting the null hypothesis when it is true. For example, a significance level of 0.05 indicates a 5% risk of concluding that a difference exists when there is no actual difference

alpha

1. data measured on a continuous/ordinal scale 2. data is collected from a representative, randomly selected portion of the total population 3. Scores are normal distributed in the population 4. reasonably large sample size used 5. homogeneity of variance

assumptions of independent samples t-test

the probability of Type II error in any hypothesis test-incorrectly concluding no statistical significance

beta

measure of degree of linear correlation between two variables ranging from −1 (a perfect negative linear correlation) through 0 (no correlation) to +1 (a perfect positive correlation) denoted by r +/- indicates direction, sum indicates strength -can determine significance by converting to a t value and comparing to cutoff scores on t table

correlation coefficient, also called Pearson's correlation coefficient

the result of multiplying a person's Z score on one variable by the person's Z score on another variable Σ(ZxZy) = sum of cross products

run without predictors that were not significant to get best linear combination of variables to predict the outcome of interest

reduced model

are estimates of the unknown population parameters and describe the relationship between a predictor variable and the response(outcome variable) is typically a standardized regression coefficient (the slope of a line in a regression equation) used when both the criterion and predictor variables are standardized (i.e. converted to z-scores). ... If the independent/dependent variables are not standardized, they are called B weights

regression coefficients [beta (β) weights]

predict Y, given a known score on X

regression line (line of best fit)

The steepness of the angle of a regression line

slope

r^2, gives the proportionate reduction in error or proportion of variance accounted for in the criterion variable by all the predictor variables taken together. For example, an R of .40 gives an r^2 of .16, which means that the predictor variables together account for 16% (.40×.40 = .16, which is the same as 16%) of the variation in the scores in the criterion variable. R^2 is a measure of the effect size for multiple regression

squared multiple correlation coefficient

Change in X of one SD yields an increase in Y by β*SDy (holding other IVs constant) -For example, a standardized regression coefficient of .63 would mean for every increase of 1 standard deviation on X, we predict an increase of .63 standard deviations on Y. ***Used to compare the relative importance of various predictors in the model (some say you shouldn't)

standardized coefficient (β)

the likelihood that a relationship between two or more variables is caused by something other than chance

statistical significance

computer orders predictors
