Question 2
Interested
in the effects of different kinds of instruction on videogame
performance, Martin asks 30 college freshmen to each play an hour of
Ratchet and Klank. Participants are randomly assigned to one of three
instruction groups: (1) complete the tasks as quickly as possible, (2)
conserve as much health as possible (i.e., play more carefully), or (3)
find gold bolts (worth lots of money in equipment and ammunition). If
Martin averages the scores for each instruction group and then compares
them, any differences in the means of the instruction groups reflect:
individual differences in hand-eye coordination.
inherent differences in the ability of the college freshmen to play video games.
within-groups variance.
between-groups variance.

Question 3
Why can't a researcher just run multiple t tests when the independent variable has more than two levels?
As you run more statistical tests, it becomes harder and harder to reject the null hypothesis.
As you run more statistical tests, the probability that you will make a Type I error in one of the tests increases.
As you run more statistical tests, you lose degrees of freedom.
As you run more statistical tests, the probability that you will make a Type III error in one of those tests increases.

Question 5
(Table:
Coping with Pain) The cells of this study reflect an interaction
between coping style and cognitive strategy. Which statement best
describes the interaction?
People
using both distraction and sensation-monitoring cognitive strategies
were able to keep their hand in the ice water for longer than 60
seconds, on average.
People using a sensation-monitoring strategy were able to keep their hand in the ice water for longer.
People using a distraction strategy were able to keep their hand in the ice water for longer.
The
effect of cognitive strategy depended on the coping style of the
participant. Those with an avoiding coping style kept their hand in the
ice water longer when using a distraction strategy, but those with a
monitoring coping style kept their hand in the ice water longer when
using a sensation-monitoring strategy.
