Chapter 4: Q R4.8. (page 272)

Attitudes toward homeless people Negative attitudes toward poor people are common. Are attitudes more negative when a person is homeless? To find out, read to subjects a description of a poor person. There are two versions. One begins with Jim a 30-year-old single man. He is currently living in a small single-room apartment. The other description begins with Jim is a 30-year-old single man. He is currently homeless and lives in a shelter for homeless people. After reading the description, ask subjects what they believe about Jim and what they think should be done to help him. The subjects are 544 adults interviewed by telephone. Outline a completely randomized design for this experiment. Write a few sentences describing how you would implement your design.

Short Answer

Expert verified

One person from the first group and one person from the second group using the first description

Step by step solution

01

Given information

Jim, a 30-year-old single male, is the first. He currently resides in a tiny one-bedroom apartment. Jim is described as a 30-year-old single male in the other description. He is currently homeless and resides in a homeless shelter.

02

Concept

The treatments are randomly assigned to all of the experimental units in a completely randomized design.

03

Explanation

It is necessary to write a few sentences here describing how to apply the design.

To begin, generate the random numbers and divide them into two groups. Assign half of the participants to one group and the other half to another. Choose one individual from the first group using the first description, and one person from the second group using the second description.
