1. A cognitive psychologist conducted a study of whether
familiarity of words (X) predicts the time it takes (in
seconds) to press a button indicating whether the word is singular
or plural (Y), with all participants being given the same
words. Familiarity with these words was rated at a later time on a
7-point scale (with higher numbers indicating more familiarity).
The participants' scores were:
X Y

A comparative psychologist conducted a study to compare
learning performance for three species of Old World monkeys (4
green monkeys from Africa, 10 rhesus monkeys from India, and 6
baboons from Africa). The animals were tested individually on a
delayed-response task. A raisin was hidden in one of three
containers (placed on a moveable shelf) while the animal watched
from its home cage. An opaque barrier was then put in front of the
cage for one minute, removed, and then...

Belmont and Marolla conducted a study on the relationship
between birth order, family size, and intelligence. The subjects
consisted of all Dutch men who reached the age of 19 between 1963
and 1966. These men were required by law to take the Dutch army
induction tests, including Raven’s intelligence test. The results
showed that for each family size, measured intelligence decreased
with birth order: first-borns did better than second-borns,
second-borns did better than third-borns, and so on. And for any...

Research Scenario: A developmental psychologist
wants to study the effect of instructional type on learning of the
alphabet. She randomly selects a sample of 20 students at the local
preschool and assigns them to two groups, a “Testing Effect” group
who takes daily tests of recall on the alphabet (n=10) and a
“Meaningful to Self” group who comes up with things they like that
start with each letter of the alphabet and discuss them in groups
(n=10). After one week...

Ordway et al. (2014) conducted a longitudinal follow-up study of
a randomized controlled trial (RCT) to determine the effects of the
Minding the Baby (MTB) home visiting program on parental reflective
functioning (RF) and on child behavior. The study included
intervention and control groups, and the women who participated in
the MTB intervention described their children as having
significantly fewer externalizing child behaviors post
intervention. However, there was no significant difference between
the intervention and control groups for parental RF....

A 10-year study conducted by the American Heart Association
provided data on how age, blood pressure, and smoking relate to the
risk of strokes. Data from a portion of this study follow. Risk is
interpreted as the probability (times 100) that a person will have
a stroke over the next 10-year period. For the smoker variable, 1
indicates a smoker and 0 indicates a nonsmoker.

B. Dr. Quisling, a child psychologist, investigates play
behavior in 4-year-olds. She is particularly interested in how
young girls develop ideas about the gender appropriateness of
certain toys. She conducts an experiment in which participants
(4-year old girls) first interact with an adult for 10 minutes in a
lab playroom. The adult models play for the child by interacting
with a female-stereotyped toy (a Barbie doll), a male-stereotyped
toy (a dump truck) or a gender-neutral toy (Legos). The children
are...
