A study examining differences in life satisfaction between young adult, middle adult, and older adult


  1. A study examining differences in life satisfaction between young adult, middle adult, and older adult men and women was conducted. Each individual who participated in the study completed a life satisfaction questionnaire. A high score on the test indicates a higher level of life satisfaction. Test scores are recorded below. Are there any significant main effects or an interaction effect? Conduct a factorial analysis and show your results.
  2. A researcher is interested in examining hospital patients' responses to two different forms of physical therapy. The data below represent patient ratings of recovery of function at two separate hospitals. Conduct a factorial analysis, accounting for unequal sample sizes (use the unweighted mean approach), and interpret the results. [show hand calculations]
  3. In a study of memory processes, animals were tested in a one-trial avoidance-learning task. The animals were presented with a fear-producing stimulus on the learning trial as soon as they stepped across a line in the test chamber. The dependent variable was the time it took them to step across the line on the test trial. Three groups of animals differed in the areas in which they had electrodes implanted into their cortex (Neutral site, Area A, or Area B). Each group was further divided and given electrical stimulation 50,100 , or 150 milliseconds after crossing the line and being presented with the fear-inducing stimulus. Conduct a factorial analysis on the data and determine whether stimulated area, time or both were significant factors.

  4. For the following problems, you will need to download dataset gss.sav from the following website: http://edhd.bgsu.edu/amm/datasets.html

Is the number of hours an individual works influenced by their levels of general happiness and job satisfaction? Using this dataset, complete a factorial ANOVA analysis. The variables to use are: hours worked last week (hrsl), general happiness (happy), and job satisfaction (jobsat 2)

  1. Is factor interaction significant? Explain.
  2. Are main effects significant? Explain.
  3. Write a paragraph summarizing your results.
