Learning Objectives
 Difference
between independent-measures
& related-samples experimental design
 Difference between repeated-measures &
matched-subjects experimental design
 Compute t test for dependent groups
 Advantages and disadvantages
 Measures of effect size
3
Vocabulary
 Related-samples
t statistic Repeated-
measures design
 Matched-samples design
 Difference scores (estimated standard error
of D-bar)
 Individual differences
 Carry-over effects
4
Related-samples t statistic
 Two
forms
• Repeated-measures design
• Matched-samples design
 Use difference scores between two
measurement points rather than means
5
Repeated-measures
 The
same participants give us data on two
measures (e. g. Before and After treatment)
• Aggressive responses before video and
aggressive responses after
 Accounts for the fact that if someone is high
on one measure probably high on other.
6
Matched-samples
 Individuals
in one group are matched to
individuals in a second sample
• Matching based on variables thought to
be relevant to the study
• Not always perfect match
 Also called matched pairs or pairwise t test
7
Difference Scores
 Calculate
difference between first and
second score (between individual scores or
matched pairs)
• e. g. Difference = Before – After
• D = X2-X1
 Base subsequent analysis on difference
scores

Hypothesis Testing
 Null
states that
• The population of difference scores has a
mean of zero
• No systematic or consistent difference
between the conditions
H 0 : D  0
 Alternative states that
H1 :  D  0
• There is a real difference
10
Advantages of Related Samples
 Eliminate
subject-to-subject variability
• Makes the test more powerful
 Control for extraneous variables
 Need fewer subjects
11
Disadvantages of Related
Samples
 Order
effects
 Carry-over effects
 Subjects no longer naïve
 Change may just be a function of time
 Sometimes not logically possible
12
An Example
 Therapy
for rape victims
• Foa, Rothbaum, Riggs, & Murdock
(1991)
 A group (n=9) received Supportive
Counseling
 Measured post-traumatic stress disorder
symptoms before and after therapy
13
Step 1
 Null:
there is no difference in symptoms in
individuals after treatment
 Alternative: there is a difference in
symptoms
 α=.05, two tailed
H 0 : D  0
H1 :  D  0
14
Step 2
 With
a sample of 9
• df = n-1 = 9-1 = 8
• Critical value = +2.306

Eye test of Results
 The
Supportive Counseling group
decreased number of symptoms
 Was this enough of a change to be
significant?
 Before and After scores are not
independent; use related-samples t test

Step 4
critical value with 8 df, α=.05, twotailed = +2.306
 We calculated t = 6.85
 Since 6.85 > 2.306, reject H0
 Conclude that the mean number of
symptoms after therapy was less than mean
number before therapy.
 Supportive counseling seems to work.

Review Questions
 Why
do we say that the two sets of measures
are not independent?
 What are other names for “related samples?”
 How do we calculate difference scores?
• What happens if we subtract before from
after instead of after from before?
23
Cont.
Review Questions--cont.
do we usually test H0: D = 0?
 Why do we have 8 df in our sample when
we actually have 18 observations?
 What are the advantages and disadvantages
of related samples?
 Why
