Q. Nos. 71 to 75. Read the Following Passage and Answer the Five Questions That Follow

A researcher wanted to study the effect of stress on reaction time and whether the effect of stress is moderated by the stimulus complexity – Low and High. The researcher had a hypothesis that increased stress would adversely affect the reaction speed. From an initial pool of 160 subjects, four groups of 40 subjects each were formed and routine reacton time experiment was performed. Group I was tested under relaxed condition and low stimulus complexity Group II was tested under stressful condition and law stimulus complexity Group III was tested under relaxed condition and high stimulus complexity and Group IV was tested under stressful condition, and high stimulus complexity. The fore-period was randomly varied. The data were analyzed by following suitable ANOVA model. Among the various F ratios, the F ratio computed as ‘MSAXB/MSerror’ yielded interesting results.

  1. The design in this study would be best labelled as
    1. Randomized four-group design with single IV.
    2. 2 × 2 factorial design.
    3. 2 × 2 factorial design with a covariate.
    4. Randomized blocked design.
    • Answer: b
  2. What would be the degrees of freedom for the main effect of stress?
    1. 1
    2. 2
    3. 3
    4. 156
    • Answer: a
  3. The significant F ratio computed as ‘MSAXB/MSerror’ indicates that
    1. The main effect of stress is significant.
    2. The main effect of stimulus complexity is significant.
    3. The effect of stress is moderated by stimulus complexity.
    4. Every group differs from remaining groups significantly.
    • Answer: c
  4. Which of the following statement/s is/are false in this experiment?
    1. Stress is an independent variable.
    2. Stimulus complexity is a covariate.
    3. Fore-period duration is an ‘independent’ variable.
    4. Reaction time is a dependent variable.
