Lab sessions No Labs this week Everyone will want to be enrolled in one of the lab sessions No Labs this week

Schedule of readings Before next exam (September 21) Please read chapters 1 - 5 in OpenStax textbook Please read Appendix D, E & F online On syllabus this is referred to as online readings 1, 2 & 3 Please read Chapters 1, 5, 6 and 13 in Plous Chapter 1: Selective Perception Chapter 5: Plasticity Chapter 6: Effects of Question Wording and Framing Chapter 13: Anchoring and Adjustment

Let’s try one A study explored whether conservatives or liberals had more bumper stickers on their cars. The researchers ask 100 activists to complete a conservative/liberal values test, then used those results to categorize them as liberal or conservative. Then they identified the 30 most conservative activists and the 30 most liberal activists and measured how many bumper stickers each activist had on their car. The independent variable in this study was a. the performance of the activists b. the number of bumper stickers found on their car c. political status of participant (liberal versus conservative) as determined by their performance on the liberal/conservative test d. whether or not the subjects had bumper stickers on their car

Then they identified the 30 most conservative activists and the 30 most liberal activists and measured how many bumper stickers each activist had on their car. This study was a a. within participant experiment b. between participant experiment c. mixed participant experiment d. non-participant experiment

Let’s try one A study explored whether conservatives or liberals had more bumper stickers on their cars. They had 100 activists complete liberal/conservative test. Then, they split the 100 activists into 2 groups (conservatives and liberals). They then measured how many bumper stickers each activist had on their car. This study used a a. true experimental design b. quasi-experiment design c. correlational design d. mixed design

Number of bags of peanuts sold . Class standing 4 Quasi Level of sales Between Classification based on units earned Number of bags of peanuts sold

Type of program 2 True Body transformation Between Type of program = type of diet (regular versus programmatic diet) Body transformation = number of pounds lost

Time series versus cross-sectional comparisons: Trends over time versus a snapshot comparison Time series design: Each observation represents a measurement at some point in time. Repeated measurements allow us to see trends. Cross-sectional design: Each observation represents a measurement at some point in time. Comparing across groups allows us to see differences. Traffic accidents Please note: Any one piece of data can often (not always) be used in either a time series comparison or a cross-sectional comparison. It depends how you set up your question. Does Tucson or Albuquerque have more traffic accidents (they have similar population sizes)? Does Tucson have more traffic accidents as the year ends and winter approaches?

Time series versus cross-sectional comparisons: Trends over time versus a snapshot comparison Time series design: Each observation represents a measurement at some point in time. Repeated measurements allow us to see trends. Cross-sectional design: Each observation represents a measurement at some point in time. Comparing across groups allows us to see differences. Unemployment rate Is there an increase in workers calling in sick as the summer months approach? Do more young workers call in sick than older workers? Grade point average (GPA) Does GPA tend to go up or down as students move from freshman to sophomores to juniors to seniors? Does GPA tend to go up or down when you compare Mr. Chen’s class with Mr. Frank’s Freshman English classes?

Sample versus population (census) How is a census different from a sample? Census measures each person in the specific population Sample measures a subset of the population and infers about the population – representative sample is good What’s better?

Population (census) versus sample Parameter versus statistic Parameter – Measurement or characteristic of the population Usually unknown (only estimated) Usually represented by Greek letters (µ) pronounced “mew” pronounced “mu” Statistic – Numerical value calculated from a sample Usually represented by Roman letters (x) pronounced “x bar”

Descriptive or inferential? To determine this we have to consider the methodologies used in collecting the data Descriptive or inferential? Descriptive statistics - organizing and summarizing data Inferential statistics - generalizing beyond actual observations making “inferences” based on data collected What is the average height of the basketball team? Measured all of the players and reported the average height Measured only a sample of the players and reported the average height for team In this class, percentage of students who support the death penalty? Measured all of the students in class and reported percentage who said “yes” Measured only a sample of the students in class and reported percentage who said “yes” Based on the data collected from the students in this class we can conclude that 60% of the students at this university support the death penalty Measured all of the students in class and reported percentage who said “yes”

Descriptive or inferential? Descriptive statistics - organizing and summarizing data Inferential statistics - generalizing beyond actual observations making “inferences” based on data collected Men are in general taller than women Measured all of the citizens of Arizona and reported heights Shoe size is not a good predictor of intelligence Measured all of the shoe sizes and IQ of students of 20 universities Blondes have more fun Asked 500 actresses to complete a happiness survey The average age of students at the U of A is 21 Asked all students in the fraternities and sororities their age

So far, Measurement: observable actions Theoretical constructs: concepts (like “humor” or “satisfaction”) Operational definitions Validity and reliability Independent and dependent variable Random assignment and Random sampling Within-participant and between-participant design Single blind (placebo) and double blind procedures

So far, Continuous vs Discrete variables Quantitative vs qualitative variables Levels of measurement: Nominal, Ordinal, Interval and Ratio Population (census) versus sample Parameter versus statistic Descriptive or inferential Time series versus cross-sectional comparisons

Writing Assignment – Pop Quiz Ari conducted a watermelon seed spitting experiment. She wanted to know if people can spit farther if they get a running start. She tested 100 people. She randomly assigned them into one of two groups. One group stood still on the starting line and spit their watermelon seeds as far as they could. The second group was allowed to run up to the starting line before they spit their watermelon seeds. She measured how far each person spit their watermelon seeds. Please answer the following questions 1. What is the independent variable? 2. The independent variable: Is it continuous or discrete? 3. The independent variable: Is it nominal, ordinal, interval or ratio? 4. What is the dependent variable? 5. The dependent variable: Is it continuous or discrete? 6. The dependent variable: Is it nominal, ordinal, interval or ratio? 7. Is this a quasi or true experiment? 8. Is this a within or between participant design 9. Is this a single blind, double blind or not at all blind experiment? 10. Be sure to put your name and CID on this page
