Question

This is a hypothetical experiment involving two independent variables. College students seeking counseling at a campus counseling center were administered the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) as a normal intake procedure. Scores range from zero to 63. Single, female undergraduate students, having scores between ten and eighteen on the BDI (moderate depression) and having ongoing relationship problems, were recruited for this experiment. Twenty-four female students volunteered to participate. Six students were randomly assigned to each of four conditions:



Professional Counselor without Bibliotherapy:
Paraprofessional Counselor without Bibliotherapy:
Professional Counselor with Bibliotherapy:
Paraprofessional Counselor with Bibliotherapy:


Bibliotherapy entailed the reading of a recent book titled: “Student-friendly Relationship.” This book was written as a self-help manual for college students having relationship distress. It discussed “warning signs” indicating that a romantic relationship was likely to disrupt academic achievement. The book also included chapters on improving communication in romantic relationships and coping with the break up of a relationship. At the midpoint of six weeks of counseling, students in the bibliotherapy group took a short multiple choice quiz on the book to assure that they read the book. All twelve counselors involved in the study had read the book and were instructed to discuss the book in the bibliotherapy groups but not to discuss the book in the groups without bibliotherapy.



Six professional counselors had all achieved professional licensure and had from 2 to 10 years of counseling experience. Each counselor was assigned to two clients, one in the Bibliotherapy group and one in the group without bibliotherapy.



Six paraprofessional counselors were female undergraduate psychology majors in their junior and senior year. These paraprofessional counselors had attended a two week workshop on peer counseling that included active listening skills and fundamental strategies for crisis intervention. Each counselor was assigned to two clients, one in the bibliotherapy group and one in the group without bibliotherapy.

Calculate means and standard deviations for each group.
Construct a bar graph to visually inspect the data.
Review discussion of factorial designs on pp. 179-190 and discussion of the analysis of variance for two independent variables on pp. 343-347. Note that table 8.5 on p. 344 has the same data structure as above.
Using Excel perform an ANOVA – two factors with replication. Determine if there are statistically significant main effects or an interaction

Answer 1

To be honest, we would need the data to perform the calculations. However, finding the mean for each isn't difficult as you add the scores and then divide by the number of scores. This is usually called the average, but the mean is simply one type of average.

Standard deviation is a little trickier. First you square the scores, then add those together, after which you divide by the number of scores. (You are taking the mean of the squares.) From that, subtract the square of the mean calculated before. This is called the varience. The standard deviation is the square root of the varience.

If you have the data table, you should be able to do the calculations yourself. Hope that helps getting you started.

Answer 2

I really think if you spent as much time working on these problems as you do typing them in, you could solve them yourself. solving them yourself is how you actually LEARN...you can do it!
