Question

Dr. Dormeur studies sleep and sleep disorders. She is curious as to whether technology exposure before bedtime causes people to fall asleep more slowly. She recruits a sample of 60 middle-aged women from a local church who reported no history of sleep problems. She creates three conditions, and randomly assigns participants to one condition. All participants come to the sleep lab for two nights in a row, the first night with no treatment, the second night with treatment. In the first condition (A), participants were asked to play an online game (Candy Crush) on an iPad for 10 minutes prior to going to bed. In the second condition (B), participants were asked to read an article using an iPad that discussed tricks and tips for improving one’s score on Candy Crush (which took about 10 minutes). In the third condition (C), participants were asked to read a newspaper article about the inventor of Candy Crush (which took about 10 minutes). With the use of an electroencephalograph (EEG), the researcher measures how long it takes participants to fall asleep. Which of the following designs is Dr. Dormeur using?
a. one-way between-subjects ANOVA.b. chi-square test.c. simple linear regression.d. repeated-measures t-test.

Answer 1

Answer:

Dr Domeur is using repeated measures t-test

Step-by-step explanation:

Dr Dormeur is using the repeated measures t test also known as within-subjects design because the design is between participants. Repeated Measures assesses the change in a continuous outcome across time or within-subject.

Dr Domeur makes measurements using only one group of subjects, and the tests on each subject can be repeated more than once after different treatments. From the question, the researcher Dr Domeur uses the same subjects with every condition of the research and the control. Repeated measures are collected in a longitudinal study that assesses change over time.
