In the
following imaginary study (data link below), participants who had trouble
dieting were put into three conditions: 1) Scared Straight – they are yelled at
and shown overweight people to scare them into dieting, 2) Motivational
Interviewing – they are asked to think about how life would be better if they
dieted and how life would be worse if they did not, and 3) No intervention
After the intervention (or no intervention) took place, participants were asked
to report how much they ate the following week The goal of the study is to see
which intervention will reduce eating the most Weight was also measured to see
if there was any relationship between the weight of the participants and their
performance in the week from the intervention
Please
produce the statistical analysis for a t-test (Compare the Scared Straight and
No Intervention Groups), ANOVA (Compare the Scared Straight, Motivational
Interviewing, and No Intervention Groups, and correlation (see if there is a
relationship between weight and any of the 3 conditions: weak, moderate, or
strong, and positive or negative – and what that means) using the given data
Please report all of the results (both the output and your interpretation) and
include all other previously already established components)
