PSY399H5 Study Guide - Quiz Guide: Lab Report, Standard Deviation, Ecological Validity
Document Summary
Lab report questions: to compare anxiety measures between male and female mice. We will conduct three separate independent samples t-tests for each experiment conducted: the open field test: anxiety score is reflected by the percentage of time spent in the centre of the field (lower score represents higher anxiety). 7 male mice that participated in this test. Females: mean score = 11. 91%, standard deviation = 5. 55410616. Males: mean score = 9. 07%, standard deviation = 2. 57598802. The p value = 0. 25, degrees of freedom = 13. The females spent a higher percentage of time in the centre. Saps, and 5 males and 1 female defecated during the test. This indicates that the females were less anxious than the males: the elevated plus maze: anxiety score is reflected by the percentage of time spent in the closed arm of the maze (higher score represents higher anxiety). There were 8 females and 6 male mice that participated in this test.
