Hi I need help answering the following question. Context is provided below.

1. According to psychoanalytic theory why did Jonas react with anger to these two events? 
2. What defense mechanisms were activated in Jonas?

Synopsis of Jonas’ life:

6 months old – put up for adoption

6 months – 10 yrs- in and out of various foster care and group homes

10 yrs old – adopted

12 yrs old – sent to military school by adopted family to correct behavior

Sexually abused by male authority figure at military school

Jonas reported that he appreciated military school for the structure and found it comforting

The sexual abuse was described as “leaving an incredible mark on him”

Adopted home environment described as “immaculate, strict and neurotic.” In addition Jonas describes his adopted family as:

                                              i.    Father – cold, brutal, forbidding.

                                             ii.    Mother – could never please her

                                           iii.    Sister – 3 years younger and simply perfect

Jonas now is an adult (who identifies as a gay male) and is in counseling for his anger problem regarding two particular events.

1. His anger (assault and vandalization of his partners property) toward his male partner when his partner started to become less interested in him and more interested in other men. Jonas reacted in rage when his partner told him he was going to leave him. This resulted in Jonas initiating a physical altercation and then vandalization of his partner’s car.
2. In addition, he has become unable to maintain a job and in this particular instance acted out after being fired by sneaking in after hours and destroying work property.

Hi I need help fairly quick. Could someone please help with these 3 questions?

T-tests are used when you want to examine differences but you do not know everything about the population. There are three types of t-tests that you may choose to do: one-sample t-test, independent sample t-test, or dependent sample t-test. You can calculate these by hand, in SPSS, or in Excel. The instructions below can be used for SPSS and your textbook offers instructions for using Excel.

Single-sample t-tests

These tests are used when you want to determine the probability that a sample was drawn from a population with a known mean (μ) but with a standard deviation estimated from the sample.

• Click on analyze, compare means, one-sample t-test
• Copy the variables you want to test into the Test Variables box
• Type the population mean into the Test Value box
• Click on options to get:
• Confidence intervals (95% is default)
• Exclude cases analysis by analysis
• If some data is missing, this will drop the data only in analyses where that data is missing.
• Exclude cases listwise
• If you are doing multiple t-tests and have missing data, this will drop participants who have missing data from all t tests
• Click on continue, ok
• The output will display the t-statistic, degrees of freedom (n-1), significance (two-tailed), and the confidence interval

Independent sample t-test

These tests are used when you want to determine the probability that two samples were drawn from the same population with unknown means and standard deviations; both of which are estimated from the sample. No population parameters are specified.

• The data should be entered in one column and should be named as your dependent variable.
• You will need another column of data to identify each group according to number. So, it is a good idea to have two columns of data (one for the IV and one for the DV).
• For the IV column, you should use two consecutive numbers (I usually use 1 and 2)
• Also, be sure to use variable view to name your variables (otherwise this can become very confusing)

Ø First, we need to calculate means for the purpose of interpretation.

Ø Go to analyze, compare means, means

Ø Put your IV in the grouping variable box and your DV in the dependent variable box.

Ø Click OK to get the means and standard deviations

Ø Now, you need to calculate your t-test

Ø Go to analyze, compare means, independent samples t-test

Ø Your IV is the grouping variable

Ø Click on define range and enter 1-2

Ø Put the DV in the dependent variables box.

Ø You can click on options to change the confidence interval (default is 95%)

Ø Click on OK

Ø The output will show you the t-statistic, the significance level, the standard error of the mean, and the confidence interval.

Dependent samples t-test

We use this t-test when we have a repeated measures design such as the same sample completes a pre and post-test and we want to know if there is a difference from one test to the other.

Ø Go to analyze, compare means, paired sample t-test

Ø Select two variables and move into box

Ø Click on OK

Ø The output will give you means for each trial (or pre-post test measure) as well as the t-statistic and significance level

Let’s try a few using the data below. Be sure to attach your printouts and answer the questions below. 

1. First, perform an independent sample t-test for gender (IV) and pretest scores (DV)

Were there significant gender differences? How do you know? Interpret the results statistically and in words.

2.Then perform an independent sample t-test for gender (IV) and posttest scores (DV) Were there significant gender differences? How do you know? Interpret the results statistically and in words.

3.Now, perform a paired (dependent) sample t-test for pretest and posttest scores.

Were there two scores significantly different? How do you know? Interpret the results statistically and in words.
