Research Question 1: Does a single session of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) reduce test anxiety in undergraduate college students?
What is the primary dependent variable?
What is the primary independent variable?
Which type of research question would Roberts (1999) say this is?
Which type of research design from Roberts (1999) would you use and why?
You establish two groups: the treatment group receives the single-session of ACT, and the control group does not receive any intervention. Samples are not taken from the same participants within the sample, so they are independent or unpaired. The primary measurement tool is an anxiety assessment, with scores ranging from 0 to 50. Which parametric statistical analysis would you use and why?
Are there any potential biases to be aware of? If so, how might you break down potential oppression in this research study? If not, how is this study controlling for oppressive bias?
Research Question 2: Does socioeconomic status (SES) contribute to the speed of progression of symptoms in patients diagnosed with Alzheimer's?
What is the primary dependent variable?
What is the primary independent variable?
Which types of research questions would Roberts (1999) say this is?
Which type of research design would you use and why?
You plan to compare the speed of symptom onset in Alzheimer's patients from low-income, middle-income, and high-income households. The measurement of SES is a self-report of annual income, and the measurement of Alzheimer's symptoms is a rating scale with scores ranging from 0 to 35. Samples are not taken from the same participants within the sample, so they are independent or unpaired. Which parametric statistical analysis would you use and why?
Are there any potential biases to be aware of? If so, how might you break down potential oppression in this research study? If not, how is this study controlling for oppressive bias?
