Homework answers / question archive / 1) A) How did the field of clinical psychology come into being? B) What are the empirical, psychometric, and clinical roots of clinical psychology? 2) A) What is mental health parity? B) What are the pros and cons associated with specially trained clinical psychologists being able to prescribe certain kinds of drugs? 3) A) What is the eclectic approach to psychopathology and treatment? B) How might integration of different theoretical approaches be possible? 4) A) How do clinical psychologists spend most of their work time? B) How does their work setting influence the way clinicians spend their time? 5) What educational and degree options are available for someone who wants to go into clinical psychology? 6) What is an alpha level, and how does it affect how you interpret a p-value? How does the choice of a specific alpha level affect the chances of making a Type I error? How about a Type II error? 7) How does the statistical concept of the null hypothesis relate to Popper’s point that researchers should try to falsify theories (as discussed in Chapters 1 and 2)? 8) What is the difference between descriptive and inferential statistics? Classify each of the following categories of statistics as descriptive or inferential: (a) means, (b) standard deviations, and (c) p-values

8) What is the difference between descriptive and inferential statistics? Classify each of the following categories of statistics as descriptive or inferential: (a) means, (b) standard deviations, and (c) p-values. Make an argument that one could categorize effect size indicators such as d or r either way.
9) Define mixed-model designs. If a hypothetical study uses six within-subjects manipulations and only one between-subjects manipulation, would it still be classified as a mixed-model design? Discuss how using mixed-model designs can sometimes allow researchers to enjoy the benefits of within-subjects designs while avoiding some of their most serious drawbacks.
10) What is the maximum number of main effects that can be found in a 2 × 2 × 2 factorial design? What is the difference between a statistical main effect, an interaction effect, and a simple main effect? Is it possible to test for an interaction effect when using a one-way design? Is it possible with a factorial design? What is the difference between a crossover versus a spreading interaction pattern?
