Dr. Ulku is developing a new study and submitting a grant to help fund the implementation of that study. She is going to take baseline measurements at the initial assessment and will be measuring responses before and after exposure to a bright UV light and images of natural disasters. Dr. Ulku is using what design?

What can be gained from examining pretest and posttest data?

What is counterbalancing and how does it help minimize order effects?

Describe when a t-test for dependent means would be appropriate and develop a simple experiment that would be appropriate for such a statistical test.

Dr. Fong has 10 experimental conditions that he is exposing participants to and needs to make sure that all experimental conditions are counterbalanced in such a way that each condition appears at every position in the counterbalancing sequence to reduce order effects. Dr. Fong is implementing what type of design?

In a 2013 study examining the role of deservingness and emotions in relation to schadenfreude, or enjoyment gained from watching others struggle, researchers used vignettes describing college students from the same or different colleges who either deserved or did not deserve their academic success and who were then rejected from an honors program.

Use the following to answer questions Scenario I Scenario I is based on fabricated data inspired by the following study: Kahn, M., Fridenson, S., Lerer, Bar-Haim, Y. & Sadeh, A. (2014) . Effects of one night of induced night-wakings versus sleep restriction on sustained attention and mood: a pilot study. Sleep Medicine, 15, 825-832. Effect of Sleep Deprivation on Attention Study The purpose of this study was to examine whether sleep interrupted by frequent waking affects a person's mood and attention. Forty women and 21 men participated in a one-factor within-subjects design that consisted of two treatment conditions. In the control condition participants had eight continuous hours of sleep. In the experimental condition participants also had eight hours of sleep, but it was interrupted every two hours. After each treatment the participants' mood was assessed using the Profile of Mood States (POMS) and their attention was assessed with an Online Continuous Performance Test (OCPT) . The participants also recorded how they felt using a behavioral diary. The results revealed a significant difference in participants' mood and attention across the two treatment conditions. As predicted, when sleep was interrupted participants reported feeling more depressed than when they received eight hours of continuous sleep. The data also indicate that when sleep was interrupted the participants made more errors on the OCPT than when they received eight hours of continuous sleep. These quantitative data support the behavioral diary entries of the participants. The results of this study indicate that sleep deprivation has emotional and cognitive consequences. -(Scenario I) The study described in Scenario I required participants to volunteer two nights of sleep. What might the researchers have done to minimize the attrition rate?

Which of the following is NOT a potential solution to order effects?
