Question: You are a community psychologist interested in assessing and comparing the mental health of people in careers with supervisory positions and without supervisory positions in a corporation. The company is deciding whether it would be beneficial to include more options in the healthcare plan for employees, specifically mental healt’hcare. You know that having a supervisory position may have increased pay, but also has increased responsibility and possible stress and anxiety concerning workload; on the other hand, you know that a non-supervisory position may not have the same workload stressors, but may have decreased salary benefits and possible financial stressors at home. Because there are well-established gender differences for depression in the literature, you know that you should also include biological sex as a variable in your analysis. This will allow you to determine whether the effect of supervisory status depends on biological sex. You decide to administer the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) to 48 employees since it is a validated measure for depression (0-63, higher the score= more depressed).
