Question 28

Which of the following statistics is used to test the significance of the Pearson correlation coefficient?

Accepted Answer

Option A: t. The statistical significance of a sample Pearson correlation coefficient ($r$) against $H_0: \rho = 0$ is evaluated using the Student's $t$-test: $t = r\sqrt{\frac{n-2}{1-r^2}}$ with $df = n-2$.

Question 29

A Pearson's correlation coefficient computed on rank-ordered variables is known as

Accepted Answer

Option B: Spearman's rho. Spearman's rank-order correlation coefficient (Spearman's rho, $r_s$) is mathematically equivalent to Pearson's product-moment correlation calculated directly on the ranked scores of variables.

I. The obtained t value is not significant
II. The obtained t value is significant
III. The null can be accepted
IV. The null can be rejected
Choose the correct options:

Accepted Answer

Option B: II and IV. Since the calculated $t$-value ($2.132$) exceeds the critical tabulated $t$-value ($2.045$) at $p=0.05$, the result is statistically Significant (II) and the null hypothesis is Rejected (IV). Correct: II and IV.

II. Elimination of confounding variables
III. Reduction of individual differences in variability

II. Introduce the independent variable
III. Measure the dependent variable
IV. Define the independent and dependent variables

Question 52

Which statements about research methods in psychology is NOT true?

Accepted Answer

Option B: Correlational studies can determine causation between variables.. Statement B is fundamentally false: 'Correlation does not imply causation' (correlational studies cannot determine causality due to directionality and third-variable confounding).

Question 53

I. Develop survey questions
II. Distribute the survey to participants for the pilot
III. Analyze survey responses
IV. Report findings
Choose the correct option:

Accepted Answer

Option A: SFB. The Seguin Form Board (SFB) test is a non-verbal performance intelligence test that requires inserting ten wooden geometric blocks into their matching recessed shapes as quickly as possible.

Question 61

What does deindividuation lead to in group settings?

Accepted Answer

Option C: A reduction in self-restraint and increased impulsivity. Deindividuation (Festinger, Zimbardo) occurs in crowds where anonymity and diffused responsibility lead to diminished self-awareness, reduced self-restraint, and increased impulsive/anti-normative behavior.

Question 62

Which of the following is NOT a component of attitudes?

Accepted Answer

Option D: Situational component. The classic tripartite ABC model of attitudes comprises: Affective (feelings), Behavioral (actions/intentions), and Cognitive (beliefs/thoughts); 'Situational' is not a component.
