Participants in the perspective-taking condition (M = -1.70, SD = 2.06) were significantly less opposed to the policy than were those in the
control condition (M = -2.50, SD = 1.82).
Twenty subjects were randomly assigned to either an intensive hypnotherapy condition or to a wait-list
control condition. The target quitting date was 1 week after beginning treatment.
The participants were then selected to integrate 1 of 3 experimental conditions (two experimental conditions and one
control condition), according to random distribution.
The authors hypothesize that 1) both treatments will result in improvement in ADHD symptoms compared to a
control condition; and 2) both treatments will result in improvement in academic outcomes compared to a
control condition.
Simple main effect contrasts confirmed that people in the lack of
control condition (M = 3.71, SD = 0.38) had a greater need for structure than those in the full
control condition (M = 3.27, SD = 0.40) in the negative situation, F(1, 52) = 8.52, p = .005.
The
control condition included the same participants, and the same procedures were carried out on their day off.
This paper outlines a method of determining the achieved relative strength (ARS) of an intervention by calculating the extent to which core intervention components are present in both the treatment and
control condition. Using data from several examples the authors demonstrate how to calculate ARS indices, and subsequently how to incorporate them into analyses of intervention effectiveness.
A prevention trial tested the efficacy of "INSIGHTS into Children's Temperament" as compared to a Read Aloud attention
control condition in reducing student disruptive behavior and enhancing student competence and teacher classroom management.
This study sought to examine the effects of meta cognitive self-regulation on problem solving across three conditions: (1) an interactive, computer-based treatment condition; (2) a noninteractive computer-based alternative treatment condition; and (3) a
control condition. Also investigated was which of five components of metacognitive self-regulation were important for scientific problem solving.
The students were randomly assigned to either the symbolic threat condition (n = 29) or the
control condition (n = 29).
First, we analyzed the fMRI data acquired during the face processing task to compare between the emotional face condition and the
control condition using the fMRI Expert Analysis Tool (FEAT) Version 6.0, which is part of FMRIB's Software Library (FSL, http://www.fmrib.ox.ac.uk/fsl) for extracting the ROIs in the gray matter associated with face processing.
We expected that there would be no significant differences between the baseline QST results of the induction condition and the
control condition.
