Question:
In the Preview section for Chapter 11, we presented a study showing that swearing can help relieve pain (Stephens, Atkins, & Kingston, 2009). In the study, participants placed one hand in freezing cold water for as long as they could bear the pain. In one condition, they shouted a swear word over and over while the hand was in the water. In the other condition, they shouted a neutral word. Suppose that 18 of the 25 participants tolerated the pain longer while swearing than while shouting neutral words. Is this result significantly different from chance? Use a two-tailed test with α = .01.
