Question one: <\/p>\n
A group of final-year psychology students, for their undergraduate research project, explored the predictors of stigma attached to mental illness. Their hypothesis was that education, the extent of exposure to persons diagnosed with mental illness, and the perceived severity of the mental illness would significantly predict stigma of mentally challenged individuals.<\/p>\n
Education was coded in the data set as \u201c0\u201d for participants who had no tertiary level education and \u201c1\u201d for participants who possessed tertiary level education. The other variables in the study were measured with totaled Likert scales, where higher numbers represented more of the respective variable. After data entry and data analysis, the following table was produced in SPSS.<\/p>\n
Using a combined maximum of 200 words, respond to the following based on the table below:<\/p>\n

QUESTION TWO:<\/p>\n
3. Dr. Mitchell wanted to determine if mood would be affected by age group, type of music, or their interaction. She recruited 72 adults to participate in all conditions of the study. There were three (3) conditions in the study. Participants listened to \u201chappy\u201d music in the first condition, then \u201csad\u201d music in the second condition, and then \u201cangry\u201d music in the third condition. After listening to each type of music, participants were asked to complete the 16-item, 4-point Brief Mood Introspection Scale (BMIS). Thus, the participants completed the BMIS three (3) times.<\/p>\n
In addition, Dr. Mitchell ensured that there was an equal number of younger adults, middle- aged adults, and older adults in the study. Therefore, there were 24 younger adults, 24 middle-aged adults, and 24 older adults in each condition.<\/p>\n
Using a combined maximum of 200 words, respond to the following:<\/p>\n
How many main effects and interaction effects are possible in this study? (1 mark)<\/p>\n
Write the correct APA factorial notation for the study. In your response, ensure that you mention the type of design that was used. (3 marks)<\/p>\n
