4. Language style mapping (Pennebaker, 2011), assesses interpersonal relationships by counting the number of matching function words (interval/ratio) in conversations (Ireland, et al., 2011). Functionally, the number of matching words indicates the tendency a person has towards "mirroring" another person in conversation. Using scores from a self-esteem scale (interval/ratio), it was found that an inverse relationship existed between self-esteem and "mirroring" behaviors in relationships (Babcock et al., 2014). a. Which statistical test was most likely used? b. Which measure would be used for effect size? 5. Co-rumination, the tendency to excessively discuss adverse events or relationship problems, has been found to increase depressive symptoms and possibly complicate health (Guarneri-White et al., 2014; Boyd, 2014). It is hypothesized that the mean time spent co-ruminating differs between gender paired dyads (male/male, male/female, female/female), in a sample of 90 independent observations. Which statistical test should be used? a. b. What would be used to assess the effect size? 6. Participants (N = 200) were given a survey of coping with stress and a life satisfaction survey. Participants were then grouped into maladaptive coping and healthy coping, and random samples of 30 participants were taken for each group. The two samples (maladaptive coping and healthy coping) were then given the life satisfaction survey 30 days later. If it is hypothesized that the maladaptive coping group should have different life satisfaction scores between the initial survey and the 30 day follow-up, then which statistic would be used? a. 4.
