Mean Score on Four Questionnarie Scales Before and After the Experimental Manipulation.Questionnaire Before After Change Dominance 18.42 16.31 -2.11 Independence 17.25 21.38 4.13** Conformity 18.97 17.20 -1.77* Nurturance 16.11 13.89 -2.22* * p<.05 **p<.01 Which of the following differences was/were NOT significant?
Typically one asterisk (*) indicates significant at P = .05 and two (**) indicate significant at P = .01. If that is what is indicated, the other data is not significant.
I hope this helps.
To determine which of the following differences was not significant, we need to look at the statistical significance indicators provided in the table: "*" and "**". These indicators represent the level of significance of the differences observed.
In this case, the "*" symbol implies that the difference is statistically significant at p < .05, while the "**" symbol represents a higher level of significance at p < .01.
Looking at the data in the table, we can determine whether each difference was statistically significant by comparing the provided p-values to the significance levels.
The differences in the scales provided are as follows:
1. Dominance: Before - After = -2.11
2. Independence: Before - After = 4.13**
3. Conformity: Before - After = -1.77*
4. Nurturance: Before - After = -2.22*
From the given information, we can deduce that:
- The difference in Independence is statistically significant at p < .01 (indicated by "**").
- The differences in Dominance, Conformity, and Nurturance are statistically significant at p < .05 (indicated by "*").
Therefore, the only difference that was not statistically significant is the difference in Conformity, as its p-value does not reach the level of significance at p < .05.
