A social psychology class wanted to see if social group size influenced a person's conformity. To scientifically address this question, they carried out a study in which the instructor randomly assigned 36 non-psychology participants to one of three groups: a group with one other person, a group with 10 people, or a group with 20 people. Each group was asked a series of seven simple questions; the group members were told ahead of time to give incorrect answers. The class observed how the participants responded when the other group members gave blatantly wrong answers. Each person in the social psychology class rated the participants' conformity level on a scale of 1-10 for each of the seven questions. The class responses were summed and averaged to give each person a conformity score ranging from 7 to 70, with higher scores indicating greater conformity. The data set is below. This needs to also be done in SPSS and by hand.

1= 1_ people (conformity is the number) 2= 10_people and 3=20_people

1= conformity 24, 17, 20, 17, 40, 50, 28, 51, 14

2= conformity 35, 30, 32, 25, 40, 39, 36, 37, 42, 23, 27, 24, 30, 45, 34

3= conformity 65, 52, 62, 49, 38, 60, 57, 52, 56, 60, 41, 50

(1). What type of analysis should you use for this problem?

(2). State your null and alternative hypotheses using everyday language?

(3). In SPSS, perform the appropriate analysis on the difference among the three groups on conformity scores. (explain each step of inputing and analysis)

(4). Report the results of the anlaysis: F(____,_____)=________, p_________

(5). Given these results, do you reject or fail the null hypothesis? Why?

(6). Perform a Fisher's LSD test to test the difference among individuals assigned to these groups? Explain the process

(7). Based on the results of Fisher's LSD, which specific groups are significantly different from each other?
