Multiple Choice
Identify the choice that best completes the statement or answers the question.

____ 1. Imagine we wanted to investigate the effects of three different conflict styles (avoiding, compromising and
competing) on relationship satisfaction, but we discover that relationship satisfaction is known to covary with
self-esteem. Which of the following questions would be appropriate for this analysis?
a. What would the mean relationship satisfaction be for the three conflict style groups, if
their levels of self-esteem were held constant?
b. What would the mean relationship satisfaction be if levels of self-esteem were held
constant?
c. What would the mean self-esteem score be for the three groups if their levels of
relationship satisfaction were held constant?
d. Does relationship satisfaction have a significant effect on the relationship between conflict
style and self-esteem?
____ 2. Participants were randomly allocated to one of two stress management therapy groups, or a waiting list
control group. Their baseline levels of stress were measured before treatment, and again after 3 months of
weekly therapy sessions. Based on the output below, which of the following statements is the most accurate?

_
a. The type of therapy administered had a significant effect on stress levels, even after
baseline levels of stress had been accounted for, F(2, 11) = 5.98, p = 0.017.
b. Levene’s test was non-significant, F(2, 12) = .82, p = 0.47, and so the results must be
treated with caution.
c. The type of therapy given did not have a significant effect on stress levels, after baseline
stress level had been accounted for, F(2, 11) = 5.98, p = 0.52
d. The type of therapy administered had a significant effect on stress levels, even after
baseline levels of stress had been accounted for, F(1, 11) =0 23.16, p < 0.001.
____ 3. An experiment was done to look at whether there is an effect of the number of hours spent practising a
musical instrument and gender on the level of musical ability. A sample of 30 (15 men and 15 women)
participants who had never learnt to play a musical instrument before were recruited. Participants were
randomly allocated to one of three groups that varied in the number of hours they would spend practising
every day for 1 year (0 hours, 1 hours, 2 hours). Men and women were divided equally across groups. All
participants had a one-hour lesson each week over the course of the year, after which their level of musical
skill was measured on a 10-point scale ranging from 0 (you can’t play for toffee) to 10 (‘Are you Mozart
reincarnated?’). Which of the following tests could we use to analyse these data?
a. Two-way independent ANOVA c. Three-way ANOVA
b. Two-way repeated-measures ANOVA d. t-test

IBM SPSS 27- Page 1 of 23


____ 4. An experiment was done to compare the effect of having a conversation via a hands-free mobile phone,
having a conversation with an in-car passenger, and no distraction (baseline) on driving accuracy. Twenty
participants from two different age groups (18–25 years and 26–40 years) took part. All participants in both
age groups took part in all three conditions of the experiment (in counterbalanced order), and their driving
accuracy was measured by a layperson who remained unaware of the experimental hypothesis.
Which of the following sentences is the correct interpretation of the interaction between distraction and age?

a. The age of the driver did not significantly interact with the type of distraction, F(2, 36) =
1.05, p = .36. This effect tells us that profile of ratings of driving accuracy across the
different types of distraction was similar for both age groups.
b. The age of the driver almost significantly interacted with the type of distraction, F(2, 36) =
.36, p = .055. This effect tells us that profile of ratings of driving accuracy across the
different types of distraction might have differed in the age groups.
c. The age of the driver significantly interacted with the type of distraction, F(2, 36) = 45.95,
p = .001. This effect tells us that profile of ratings of driving accuracy across the different
types of distraction was different in the two age groups.
d. The interaction between age group and distraction group yielded a large effect.
____ 5. When following up a significant MANOVA, what is the advantage of conducting discriminant function
analysis over separate ANOVAs?
a. Discriminant function analysis is true to the ethos of MANOVA.
b. Discriminant function analysis looks at the outcome variables as independent entities, not
as a linear combination.
c. The overall multivariate test protects against inflated Type I error rates.
d. Discriminant function analysis keeps the effects of each outcome variable independent.

____ 64. A study was done to investigate the effect of ‘motivation to quit’ on the success rate of a new intervention
developed to reduce the number of cigarettes smoked per day in a group of smokers. Looking at the graph
below, what can we say about the relationship between motivation to quit and the success rate of the
intervention?

a. We can’t say anything about the success of the intervention because the graph does not take into
account the number of cigarettes smoked per day pre-intervention.

120 smokers. Half wanted to quit to improve their appearance (yellow teeth and bad breath, etc.), and half wanted to quit
to improve their health (life expectancy, etc.). After six months we measured how successful they had been at quitting
smoking. The data were skewed so we ran a Wilcoxon rank-sum test on the data (output below).
Which of the following sentences correctly reports the results from the Wilcoxon rank-sum test?

IBM SPSS 27- Page 12 of 23


a. People who wanted to quit smoking to improve their appearance were significantly more successful
at quitting than those who wanted to quit to improve their health, Ws = 3245.5, z = –2.04, p = 0.04.
b. People who wanted to quit smoking to improve their health were significantly more successful at
quitting than those who wanted to quit to improve their appearance, Ws = 3245.5, z = –2.04, p =
0.04.
c. People who wanted to quit smoking to improve their appearance were significantly more successful
at quitting than those who wanted to quit to improve their health, T = –2.04, z = 188.57, p < 0.05.
d. This output relates to the Mann–Whitney test and tells us nothing about the Wilcoxon rank-sum
test.

____ 73. Recent research has shown that lecturers are among the most stressed workers. A researcher wanted to know exactly
what it was about being a lecturer that created this stress and subsequent burnout. She recruited 75 lecturers and
administered several questionnaires that measured: Burnout (high score = burnt out), Perceived Control (high score =
low perceived control), Coping Ability (high score = low ability to cope with stress), Stress from Teaching (high score =
teaching creates a lot of stress for the person), Stress from Research (high score = research creates a lot of stress for the
person), and Stress from Providing Pastoral Care (high score = providing pastoral care creates a lot of stress for the
person). The outcome of interest was burnout, and Cooper’s (1988) model of stress indicates that perceived control and
coping style are important predictors of this variable. The remaining predictors were measured to see the unique
contribution of different aspects of a lecturer’s work to their burnout. How would you interpret the beta value for ‘stress
from teaching’?

____ 77. The student welfare office was interested in trying to enhance students’ exam performance by investigating the effects of
various interventions. They took five groups of students before their statistics exams and gave them one of five
interventions: (1) a control group just sat in a room contemplating the task ahead (Control); (2) the second group had a
yoga class to relax them (Yoga); (3) the third group were told they would get monetary rewards contingent upon the
grade they received in the exam (Bribes); (4) the fourth group were given beta-blockers to calm their nerves
(Beta-Blockers); and (5) the fifth group were encouraged to sit around winding each other up about how much revision
they had/hadn’t done (You’re all going to fail). The student welfare office made four predictions: (1) all interventions
should be different from the control; (2) yoga, bribery and beta-blockers should lead to higher exam scores than panic;
(3) yoga and bribery should have different effects than the beta-blocker drugs; and (4) yoga and bribery should also
differ. Which of the following planned contrasts (with the appropriate group coding) are correct to test these
hypotheses?
