Question

Bibliotherapy is a common tool to use with children who have a hard time bonding with a therapist and opening up during therapy sessions. Dr. Contos wants to examine if children who participate in bibliotherapy (M=16.48, SD=2.67) score lower on levels of anxiety (0-25) than children who participate in play therapy (M=18.11, SD=2.58). She interviews 25 children in each group for a total of 50 children.

E. What are that tests assumptions?

F. What are the df? (please show work)

G. What is the critical value for p=.05 (please show work)

I. Interpret the findings (please put in APA format)

Explanation / Answer

E)

Assumptions are-

1. SRS are drawn from two population

2. Population std. dev. is not equal

F)

DF = 48

G)

Critical values, t(0.05, 98) = -1.6772

I)

p-value = 0.0165

as p-value is less than the significance level of 0.05, we reject the null hypothesis.

This means there are sufficient eviedence to conclude that children who participate in bibliotherapy score lower on levels of anxiety than children who participate in play therapy

Given Data Sample 1 Sample 2 Name Bibliotherapy Play therapy mean 16.48 18.11 Sample size 25 25 Std. dev. 2.67 2.58
