14. (17) points) A clinical psychologist is interested in evaluating the effectiveness of the following three techniques for treating mild depression: cognitive restructuring, assertiveness training, and an exercise/nutrition program. Forty undergraduate students suffering from mild depression are randomly sampled from the university counseling center’s waiting list and randomly assigned 10 each to the three techniques previously mentioned and the remaining 10 to a placebo control group. Treatment is conducted for 10 weeks, after which depression is measured using the Beck Depression Inventory. The post-treatment depression scores are given here. Higher scores indicate greater depression.

The effects of smoking on human performance was investigated using three tasks that differed in the level of cognitive processing that was required to perform them, with different participants serving in each task.

Pattern recognition task - participants had to locate a target on a screen

Cognitive task - participants were required to read a passage and then recall it at a later time

Driving simulation video game

In each case the dependent variable was the number of errors that the participant committed.

Participants were further divided into three Smoking groups.

Group AS was composed of people who actively smoked during or just before carrying out the task.

Group DS participants were regular smokers who had not smoked for 3 hours before the task (D stands for delay).

Group NS were nonsmokers.

Compute a 3 (Smoking Group) x 3 (Task) ANOV A.

a) copy and paste the anova table output below and answer the following questions

1. What number is the average variance in each group?_____________________

2. What number is the denominator of each of the F ratios?__________________

What number of df are used when looking up q values for doing Tukey tests.__________

What number reflects the variance of the 9 cell means that remains after we subtract the variance due to the two main effects._________

What is omega squared for the main effect of Task?_________________

What is omega squared for the main effect of Smoking Group?_________________

What is omega squared for the interaction og Task x Smoking Group?_________________

What is Cohen’s F for the main effect of Task?_________________

What is Cohen’s F for the main effect of Smoking Group?_________________

What is Cohen’s F for the interaction of Task x Smoking Group?_________________

11. Copy and paste below the test for Homogeneity of variance from the output. Do you have homogeneity of variance?How do you know?

We have heterogeneity of variance since levene’s test is significant.

12. If the main effect of Task is significant conduct subsequent Tukey tests and state what groups are different from each other. If no Tukey tests are needed than just state that.

Results of the Tukey Test: . (Tell me which means are =, < or > each other)

13. If the main effect of Smoking Group is significant conduct subsequent Tukey tests and state what groups are different from each other. If no Tukey tests are needed than just state that.

14. If the interaction of Task and Smoking Group is significant conduct subsequent Tukey tests to investigate to examine the simple effects of smoking group separately at each type of task. That is investigate smoking group differences for the pattern recognition task, for the Cognitive Task and for the Driving Task.
