Question:

For each study a) write the results in APA notation b) in one sentence tell me what the results mean in the real world.

1. Sprinthall proposed a relationship between introversion and mathematics ability with alpha = .05. He had 20 college students take an introversion test (lower numbers mean more introverted). He then had the students take a mathematics aptitude test (higher numbers mean more aptitude). The resulting correlation was –.48.

2. Handley investigated the persuasiveness of arguments. Arguments were rated on a scale from 1 (not at all persuasive) to 7 (extremely persuasive). Handley also counted how many facts were presented in each argument. Handley set alpha = .01. She evaluated 24 arguments and found a correlation of .74.

3. Yuroko hypothesized that the more dietary supplements taken on a daily basis the more doctor visits a person would have each year with alpha = .05. He assessed 12 people and found a correlation of –.59.

4. An investigator believed that the higher the levels of anxiety a student had the lower their high school achievement would be with alpha = .01. She had 16 students take an anxiety scale (higher number means more anxious) and compared that to their GPAs. She found a correlation of -0.61.

5. Privitera (the author of your textbook) and Freeman (2012) determined the correlation between how well students (M/SD = 19.80 +/- 1.80 years old) estimated their daily fat intake and their BMI. They believed the higher the students’ estimates the higher their BMI would be. They found r = 0.34. One Hundred and ten students participated in the study with alpha = .01.
