So far. . . . We have been doing independent samples designs The observations in one group were not linked to the observations in the other group
Example Philadelphia 52 53 54 61 55 Anaheim 77 75 67
Matched Samples Design This can happen with: Natural pairs Matched pairs Repeated measures
Natural Pairs The pairing of two subjects occurs naturally (e.g., twins)
Matched Pairs When people are matched on some variable (e.g., age)
Repeated Measures The same participant is in both conditions
Matched Samples Design In this type of design you label one level of the variable X and the other Y There is a logical reason for paring the X value and the Y value
Matched Samples Design The logic and testing of this type of design is VERY similar to what you have already done!
Example You just invented a “magic math pill” that will increase test scores. On the day of the first test you give the pill to 4 subjects. When these same subjects take the second test they do not get a pill Did the pill increase their test scores?
Hypothesis One-tailed Alternative hypothesis H1: pill > nopill In other words, when the subjects got the pill they had higher math scores than when they did not get the pill Null hypothesis H0: pill < or = nopill In other words, when the subjects got the pill their math scores were lower or equal to the scores they got when they did not take the pill

New Step Should add a new page Determine if One-sample t-test Two-sample t-test If it is a matched samples design If it is a independent samples
Thus, there are 3 different kinds of designs Each design uses slightly different formulas You should probably make up ONE cook book page (with all 7 steps) for each type of design Will help keep you from getting confused on a test

Practice An early hypothesis of schizophrenia was that it has a simple genetic cause. In accordance with the theory 25% of the offspring of a selected group of parents would be expected to be diagnosed as schizophrenic. Suppose that of 140 offspring, 19.3% were schizophrenic. Test this theory.
Goodness of fit chi-square Make sure you compute the Chi square with the frequencies. Chi square observed = 2.439 Critical = 3.84 These data are consistent with the theory!
Practice In the 1930’s 650 boys participated in the Cambridge-Somerville Youth Study. Half of the participants were randomly assigned to a delinquency-prevention pogrom and the other half to a control group. At the end of the study, police records were examined for evidence of delinquency. In the prevention program 114 boys had a police record and in the control group 101 boys had a police record. Analyze the data and write a conclusion.
Chi Square observed = 1.17 Chi Square critical = 3.84 Phi = .04 Note the results go in the opposite direction that was expected!
Practice A research study was conducted to examine the differences between older and younger adults on perceived life satisfaction. A pilot study was conducted to examine this hypothesis. Ten older adults (over the age of 70) and ten younger adults (between 20 and 30) were give a life satisfaction test (known to have high reliability and validity). Scores on the measure range from 0 to 60 with high scores indicative of high life satisfaction; low scores indicative of low life satisfaction. Determine if age is related to life satisfaction.

Practice Sleep researchers decide to test the impact of REM sleep deprivation on a computerized assembly line task. Subjects are required to participate in two nights of testing. On each night of testing the subject is allowed a total of four hours of sleep. However, on one of the nights, the subject is awakened immediately upon achieving REM sleep. Subjects then took a cognitive test which assessed errors in judgment. Did sleep deprivation lower the subjects cognitive ability?
REM Deprived Control Condition 26 20 15 4 8 9 44 36 13 3 38 25 24 10 17 6 29 14
tobs = 6.175 tcrit = 1.83 Sleep deprivation lowered their cognitive abilities.
