  1. A clinician investigated the effects of using a behavioral treatment to reduce the amount of foul language spoken by eight children living in a Group Home. The clinician measured the number of foul words spoken before treatment (baseline), 1-week after treatment, and 1-month after treatment by each child. The number of foul words spoken by each child during each of the three time periods is shown below.
Time Period
Participant Before Treatment 1-Week After Treatment 1-Month After Treatment
1 26 25 22
2 28 33 27
3 29 31 30
4 32 38 36
5 24 23 23
6 30 34 31
7 33 36 29
8 37 39 33
  1. Write the null hypothesis using mathematical notation (2 pts.) H0:
  2. Write the alternative hypothesis using mathematical notation (2 pts.) H1:
  3. What means are being compared (2 pts.)?
  4. Usinga = .05, does it appear that the sphericity assumption was violated for these data (2 pts.)?
  5. Using = .05, should we reject or retain the omnibus null hypothesis (2 pts.)?

  1. What Bonferroni alpha level should be used to evaluate the significance of each post hoc test (2 pts.)? ___
  2. Using Bonferroni and the results of the appropriate post hoc tests, discuss each of the unique pairwise comparisons of foul language spoken during each time period (3 pts.).
a. Before vs. 1 Week After:
b. Before vs. 1 Month After
c. 1 Week After vs. 1 Month After:

Did the behavioral treatment reduce the amount of foul language used? What specifically did the results indicate in words (5 pts)? ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
