Question 1
Researchers wanted to figure out what type of treatment was more effective in treating
depression. A sample of 15 participants were randomly assigned to one of three groups:
psychotherapy, antidepressant medication, or no treatment. The treatment lasted 6 months. After
the 6-month treatment program, participants were asked to complete the Beck Depression
Inventory (Beck, Steer, Ball, & Ranieri, 1996) to determine if therapy type led to differences in
level of depression as measured by lower scores on Beck Depression Inventory. The scores
potentially range from 0-63. The researchers hypothesized a difference in levels of depression
across the three treatment groups. Write a paragraph describing and interpreting the results.

Question 2
Researchers were interested in determining if different types of music and the color of a room
had an impact on relaxation. Forty participants were randomly assigned to one of four groups.
The four groups were a combination of blue or red walls and classical or heavy metal music. The
participants were randomly assigned to a room and music type for duration of 15 minutes. After
the 15 minutes, participants were asked to rate their level of relaxation using a 7-point scale (1 =
not at all relaxed to 7 = extremely relaxed). The following predictions were made. Participants in
the condition with blue walls will be more relaxed than participants in the condition with red
walls (main effect 1). Participants in the condition with classical music will be more relaxed than
participants in the condition with heavy metal music (main effect 2). When participants are in the
heavy metal music condition they will be more relaxed when in the blue room compared to the
ed room. In the classical music condition, the pattern will be the same but more pronounced
(interaction). Write a paragraph describing and interpreting the results.
