After attending an anxiety-reduction therapy session, a wife's anxiety score is 75, while her husband's is 80
Overall, women's average anxiety score after the sessions is 70 (SD = 10 ) and men's average anxiety score after the sessions is 85 (SD = 5 ).
Relative to others of their own gender, who has the lower anxiety score after the session?
Explain your answer to someone who has never had a course in statistics.
What will be an ideal response?
Wife's Z = .5; Husband's Z = −1. Thus, wife is more anxious relative to her gender.
(Note: Lower score = positive outcome/reduced anxiety. Thus, negative Z scores indicate lower anxiety.)
