Two groups were dened as [a] "Perpetrators"students who reported at least one violent act against their partner in their current or most recent relationshipand (b) "Compa|isons"students who did not. report any such uses of violence in any of their last three relationships At the actual testing session, the students rst read a description of an aggressive behavior such as, "Throw something at his or her partner" or "Say something to upset his or her partner." They then were asked to write "as many examples of circumstances of situations as [they could] in which a person might engage in behaviors or acts of this sort with or towards their signicant other." The accompanying table shows the "Dominant Category of Explanation" (the category a participant used most) for females and males. broken down by comparisons and perpetrators. Complete parts (a) and (b) below. a Click the icon to View summary table. (a) Using this table as an example, explain the idea of a frequency table to a person who has never had a course in statistics Choose the correct answer below 0 A. This frequency table shows the number of college students, separated by gender, that responded with each dominant category of explanation. For example, 6 college females responded self-defense' which was 2% of the total female comparisons. 0 B This frequency table shows the total number of college students that. responded to the survey. For example, the number of female comparisons made was 36. O C This frequency table shows the number of college students, separated by gender. that responded with each dominant category of explanation. For example. 2 college females responded self-defense. which was 6% of the total female comparisons (b) Explain the general meaning of the pattem of results Choose the correct answer below. 0 A. The general pattem is rectangular because all the different categories have approximately the same frequency. This means that each response occun'ed approximately the same amount of tima O B. The general pattem does not follow any signicant pattern because the frequencies do not form any discemible or known pattern. 0 C. The general pattem is skewed because most of the responses are located at the top of the list This means that most responses were under the categories selfdefense, control motives, and expressive aggression Group Female Male Comparisons Perpetrators Comparisons Perpetrators (n = 36) (n = 33) (n = 32) (n = 25) Category f % % f % %% Self-defense 6 27 9 4 Control motives 22 28 12 Expressive aggression 11 6 LO 32 Face/self-esteem 3 CO 6 12 preservation Exculpatory explanations 5 14 9 12 Rejection of perpetrator or 12 33 31 7 28 act Prosocial/acceptable 0 7 21 0 0 0 explanations Tied categories 4 11 9 6 0 Note: f= frequency and % = percentage of respondents in a given group who provided a particular category of explanation
