A researcher conducted a study using a randomly selected group of 40 students, giving them all a standardized performance evaluation (ranging from 0 – 10) to establish a baseline score – then had them all attend a one-week training program – then administered a second standardized performance evaluation to see if the training program had made a significant difference in the students’ average performance.

A researcher conducted a study to examine the effects of secure, anxious, and avoidant attachment styles on the physiology of sleep. Participants were selected using a stratified random sampling approach to ensure representation of each of the three styles. The sleep patterns of 30 secure, 30 anxious, and 30 avoidant children were monitored. Of primary importance to the researcher was the overall percentage of time each child spent in deep (delta) sleep. Following is the average amount of time that each child spent in delta sleep, expressed as a percentage of total sleep time (ranging from 0.0 to 100.0). For the attachment styles, 1 = secure, 2 = anxious, and 3 = avoidant.
