4). Is the t-Test significant, and how would you write that out
in APA format?
A. Yes, the t-Test is significant, t(71.76) = 2.56, p <
.01
B. Yes, the t-Test is significant, t(73) = 2.56, p < .05
C. Yes, the t-Test is significant, t(73) = 2.56, p < .01
D. No, the t-Test is not significant, t(73) = 2.56, p >
.05
E. No, the t-Test is not significant, t(71.76) = 2.56, p >
.05
5). Finally, which of the following are the correct results as
you would write them in an APA formatted results section.
A. We ran an independent samples t-Test with cell phone opinion
(Against versus In favor) as our independent variable and ratings
of photo attractiveness as our dependent variable. The t-Test was
not significant, t(73) = 2.56, p > .05. Participants rated the
essay author as more attractive in the “against” condition (M =
4.66, SD = 0.71) than in the “in favor” condition (M = 4.22, SD =
0.79). This fails to support the idea that participants are
persuaded by cell phone opinions.
B. We ran an independent samples t-Test with photo condition
(Attractive versus Unattractive) as our independent variable and
ratings of “What is your opinion about children owning a cell
phone?” our dependent variable. The t-Test was not significant,
t(73) = 2.56, p > .05. Participants were equally in favor of
children having cell phones regardless of whether the author was
attractive (M = 4.22, SD = 0.79) or unattractive (M= 4.66, SD =
0.71). This fails to support the idea that participants are
persuaded by the attractiveness of an essay writer.
C. We ran an independent samples t-Test with photo condition
(Attractive versus Unattractive) as our independent variable and
ratings of “What is your opinion about children owning a cell
phone?” our dependent variable. The t-Test was significant, t(73) =
2.56, p < .05. Participants were more against cell phones for
children if the author suggesting this proposal was attractive (M =
4.22, SD = 0.79) than if she was unattractive (M = 4.66, SD =
0.71). This supports the idea that participants are persuaded by an
attractive essay writer.
D. We ran an independent samples t-Test with photo condition
(Attractive versus Unattractive) as our independent variable and
ratings of “What is your opinion about children owning a cell
phone?” our dependent variable. The t-Test was significant,
t(71.76) = 2.56, p < .05. Participants were more against cell
phones for children if the author suggesting this proposal was
attractive (M = 4.22, SD = 0.79) than if she was unattractive (M =
4.66, SD = 0.71). This supports the idea that participants are
persuaded by an attractive essay writer.
E. We ran an independent samples t-Test with photo condition
(Attractive versus Unattractive) as our independent variable and
ratings of “What is your opinion about children owning a cell
phone?” our dependent variable. The t-Test was significant, t(73) =
2.56, p < .01. Participants were more against cell phones for
children if the author suggesting this proposal was attractive (M =
4.22, SD = 0.79) than if she was unattractive (M = 4.66, SD =
0.71). This supports the idea that participants are persuaded by an
attractive essay writer.
