A health psychologist conducted an experiment in which participants watched a film that either did or did not include a person being injured because of not wearing a seat belt.A week later,as part of a seemingly different study,these same participants reported how important they thought it was to wear seat belts.The 22 participants who had seen the injury film gave a mean rating of 8.3,with an estimated population standard deviation of 1.6.The 30 participants in the control condition had a mean of 7.4 with an estimated population standard deviation of 2.2.Using the .01 significance level,does seeing a movie where a person gets injured due to not wearing a seat belt make attitudes more positive towards seat belt usage as indicated by higher ratings?
