A researcher thinks that watching violent televisions increases aggressive behavior in children. To test this hypothesis, she randomly assigns 48 children into one of 3 groups (no violent TV, a little violent TV, or a lot of violent TV) and observes their playground behavior for three weeks and measures it for violence and intensity.
For the variable “amount of TV” (as it appears in this problem), what is the scale of measurement?
If the researcher’s hypothesis is correct, which of the following conclusions could be drawn?
NEW STUDY:
A researcher is interested in the relationship between levels of stress at work and self-reports of overall health. Stress at work is measured on a scale from 0 (no stress at work) to 100 (extreme levels of stress at work). The researcher conducts a study with 11 subjects and determines that the relationship between self-reports of stress and self-reports of overall heath is r = -.41.
Which test was conducted for this study?
