¶ … groups (control and treatment) for change in mobility of the women with osteoarthritis (OA) over 12 weeks with the results of F (1, 22) = 9.619,
p = 0.005. Discuss each aspect of these results.
The researchers were able to conclude that the finding was significant because the Statistical value (F) had a p-value of less than .05, which is the cut-off point for significance. Consequently, they can conclude that there is a significant difference between the control and treatment groups over time.
State the null hypothesis for the Baird and Sands (2004) study that focuses on the effect of the GI with PMR treatment on patients' mobility level. Should the null hypothesis be rejected for the difference between the two groups in change in mobility scores over 12 weeks? Provide a rationale for your answer.
The null hypothesis is that there are no differences in mean scores. The p value for the findings is less than .05, meaning that the null hypothesis can be rejected, and that the alternative hypothesis, that there are significant differences between difficulty and mobility scores, can be accepted.
3. The researchers stated that the participants in the intervention group reported a reduction in mobility difficulty...
Was this result statistically significant, and if so at what probability?
Yes, this result was statistically significant, with a probability score of less than .001.
4. If the researchers had set the level of significance or ? = 0.01, would the results of p = 0.001 still be statistically significant? Provide a rationale for your answer.
Yes, the result would still be statistically significant because .001 is less than .01.
5. If F (3, 60) = 4.13, p = 0.04, and ? = 0.01, is the result statistically significant? Provide a rationale for your answer. Would the null hypothesis be accepted or rejected?
There is no statistical significance here because .04 is greater than .01. If the alpha was set to .05, then the finding would be significant. In this case, however, the null hypothesis would fail to be rejected (it is not proper to say that the null hypothesis was accepted, simply that one was unable to reject it).
6. Can ANOVA be used to test proposed relationships or predicted correlations between variables in a single group? Provide a rationale for your answer.
No, ANOVA assesses relationships within and between groups, with respect to the variance explained,…
21-32; Lyster et al., 1999, pg. 457-467). Chaudron (1986, pg. 64-84) explained that the error correction exercise might not have statistical backup on its constrictive impact but nonetheless has proven to have a beneficial impact on the overall communicational skills of the students. Many researchers (Birdsong, 1989 as cited in Wen, 1999, pg. 1-22) agree that the benefits for adult ESL students are extensive as they learn the practical
Group Addiction TX Theory Selection The Psychodynamic Model The Behaviorists The Cognitive Model The Humanistic Model Theory Analysis Ethical and Cultural Considerations Group Development Personal Model Psychology has a long tradition of interpreting human behavior across different paradigms. The current paper investigates a method of incorporating four main psychological paradigms: psychoanalytic, behaviorist, cognitive, and humanist, into group counseling treatment for addictions and compulsive behaviors. Each paradigm is briefly discussed then the integration of aspects from theoretical models that spring
treatment modalities for conduct disordered adolescent males has primarily been focused on comorbidity. Adolescent males with conduct disorder typically receive individual and family therapy, but when overt behaviors are extreme, pharmacotherapy may supplant insight-based therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and social skills training are complementary approaches to intervention. Using an experimental approach, this study examines the impact of combined intervention approaches on perceived and observed improvement in the expression of
Gesalt Theory The author of this report is asked to answer to several questions. First, a definition and summary of the major constructs of the Gestalt Theory are to be explained. Next, the practical applications and implications of the Gestalt Theory and how they apply to group counseling will be enumerated. Third, the goals, leader responsibility, member responsibility and techniques used will be laid out. Lastly, the author of this paper's
Change Management Organizational Change Organizational change aims at ensuring that the implementation of changes in an organization is smooth and successful.
