1. An anthropologist was interested in the effects of facial attractiveness on the beer- goggles effect. She randomly selected 48 participants. Participants were randomly assigned into three groups of 16: (1) A placebo group drank no alcohol; (2) A low-dose group drank 2 points of average strength beer (4% ABV); and (3) A high-dose group drank 4 pints of average strength beer (4% ABV). Twenty-four males and 24 females rated the faces on a scale from 0 (pass me a paper bag) to 10 (pass me their phone number). 2. A clinical psychologist was interested in the effects of cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) on 0CD. She compared people with 0CD after sessions of CBT or behavior therapy (BT) with a group who were awaiting treatment (a no treatment condition, NT). Most psychopathologies have both behavioral and cognitive elements to them. For example, for someone with 0CD who' Is obsessed with germs and contamination, the disorder might manifest itself in the number of times they both wash their hands (behavior) and think about washing their hands (cognition). To gauge the success of therapy, it is not enough to look only at behavioral outcomes (such as whether obsessive behaviors are reduced); we need to look at whether cognitions are changed too. Hence, the clinical psychologist measured tWo outcomes: the occurrence of obsession- related behaviors (Actions) and the occurrence of obsessibn- related cognitions (Thoughts) on a single day. ~ ' Georgie Chrome
