A clinical psychologist administered a standard test of symptoms of three different behavioral disorders to a new patient at a mental health clinic
On the scale that measures
Disorder F (in the general public, M = 60, SD = 8), the person's score is 62. On the scale that measures Disorder H (in the general public, M = 32, SD = .5), the person's score is 34. And on the scale that measures Disorder K (in the general public, M = 83, SD = 12), the person's score is 89.
For the symptoms of which disorder or disorders did this person score substantially
higher than the general public?
Explain your answer to someone who has never had a course in statistics.
What will be an ideal response?
Disorder F, Z = .25; Disorder H, Z = 4; Disorder K, Z = .5. Thus, only on Disorder H are the person's symptoms substantially higher than for the general public.
