Abstract:
The hypothesis that High ECOSCALE and Low ECOSCALE groups would have different value profiles was tested using 319 introductory psychology students (187 women and 132 men). The participants completed the ECOSCALE and Schwartz's Value Survey for partial course credit, after which the means of the two groups were compared using univariate and multivariate analyses of variance on Schwartz's Value Survey. Analysis indicated that the groups scoring high and low on the ECOSCALE had significantly different Value profiles, which supported the hypothesis. In addition, the High ECOSCALE group scored significantly lower on the Power scale and significantly higher on the Universalism and Benevolence scales.

z Scores and Unusual Values
This score indicates how far a value is from the mean in terms of standard deviation. For example, if a data value has a z score of +1, the researcher can infer that the particular data value is one standard deviation above the mean. If another data value...
Testing a Claim about Standard Deviation
The hypothesis testing for the claim of population standard deviation (or variance) requires the data and samples to be random and unbiased. The population distribution also must be normal. There is no specific requirement on the sample size as the estimation is based on the chi-square distribution.
As a first step, the hypothesis (null and alternative) concerning the claim about...
