In an effort to determine the effectiveness of light therapy to alleviate depression, you recruit a group of individuals who have been diagnosed with depression. The participants are randomly assigned to one of two groups: Group 1 will be the control group—members of this group will receive no light therapy. Members of Group 2 will get light therapy for 1 hour on even-numbered days over the course of 1 month. After 1 month, all participants will complete the Acme Mood Scale, consisting of 10 questions; this instrument renders a score between 1 and 100 (1 = Extremely bad mood . . . 100 = Extremely good mood).
