If a study involves comparing fwo means from a within-subjects experimental design tne appropriate statistical test is ___

If a study involves an examination of the relationship between two variables measured on an interval or ratio scale, the appropriate statistical test is

ANOVA

An experiment was conducted to compare participant responses to two different social /situations. All participants viewed a scene with two children playing cooperatively and a scene with two children arguing while playing. Participants responded to a questionnaire measuring anxiety after viewing each scene to determine if the type of scene viewed had an effect on anxiety scores. The appropriate statistical test to analyze the data in this study is

A quasi-experiment was conducted to compare extramarital affairs. Men and women who are married were recruited to complete a men's and women's attitudes about survey about their attitudes. The researchers then compared scores on the survey for men and women. The appropriate statistical test to analyze the data in this study is

An independent samples t-test

A researcher was interested in the effect of anxiety on intelligence measurement. A group of 100 individuals were placed in an anxiety-provoking situation before being given an IQ test. The scores for this group were then compared to the IQ population mean of 100. The appropriate statistical test to analyze the data in this study is

A one sample t test

A researcher conducted a correlational study to examine the relationship between high school GPA and extroversion. A group of high school students competed a measure of extroversion. The GPAS for these students was then obtained from their records. The appropriate statistical test to analyze the data in this study is a

What is one difference between a time

Unlike traditional time-series designs, which make use of a continuous predictor variable, an interrupted time-series design uses a categorical predictor—the absence or presence of an intervention.

What is an interrupted time

Interrupted Time Series Designs. Refer to studies in which an interruption occurs during the time period and its effects are observed. Example of interrupted time-series design. The effects of treatment are inferred from a comparison of outcome measure obtained before and after the treatment.

Which of the following distinguishes a time

Which of the following distinguishes a time-series design from an interrupted time-series design? a. Time series examines the effect of a treatment and interrupted time series examines the effect of an outside event.

What is a interrupted time

Interrupted Time Series Design A time series is a set of measurements taken at intervals over a period of time. For example, a manufacturing company might measure its workers' productivity each week for a year. In an interrupted time series-design, a time series like this one is “interrupted” by a treatment.
