Organizational Psychologist

An organizational   psychologist was interested in whether individuals working in   different sectors of a company differed   in their attitudes toward the company. The   results for the three people surveyed in   development were 10, 12, and 11; for the   three in the marketing department, 6, 6,   and 8; for the three in accounting, 7, 4,   and 4; and for the three in production,   14, 16, and 13 (higher numbers mean more   positive attitudes). Was there a   significant difference in attitude toward the company   among employees working in different   sectors of the company at the .05   level?

(a) Use the steps of hypothesis   testing;

(b) sketch the distributions involved;   

(c) figure the effect size for the study;  

 (d) explain your answer to part (a) to someone   who understands everything involved in   conducting a t test for independent   means but is unfamiliar with the analysis   of variance;

(e) test the significance of   planned contrasts using the overall .05   level (with a Bonferroni correction for testing   each of the six contrasts) for   development versus marketing
