A contingency or branching question refers to which type of
question?
A question that directs respondents to other questions or sub-questions
according to their response to that question
What type of single-subject design (SSD) is being used in this
example?
AB design
What is the independent variable?
The independent variable is the treatment plans/program.
What is the target behavior/dependent variable, and how is it
operationally defined in this example?
The target behavior/dependent variable is his anxiety/panic attacks.
Operationally defined would be the Social Interaction Anxiety Measure
(SIAM).
What is a different target behavior/dependent variable that you
could use to chart Franklin's progress in this SSD?
Number of days of school missed or attended; number of social events
missed or attended; number of panic attacks
If you chose to immediately start your treatment with Franklin
instead of measuring his anxiety for two weeks prior to starting
treatment, what type of SSD design would you be using?

What were Franklin's scores on the anxiety scale prior to your
treatment sessions with him?
Franklin's initial scores indicate that he is indeed a very anxious child;
he scores 70 the first week and 68 the second week.
What were Franklin's scores in the five weeks during which he met
with you for treatment on a daily basis?
Once you start your intervention, you have him complete the SIAM each
week for five weeks. The first week he scores 70, the second week he
scores 65, the third week he scores 55, the fourth week he scores 65, and
the fifth week he scores 60.
What was the goal stated for Franklin in terms of his scores on the
anxiety scale?
To have him score 50 or lower on the scale.
What is a potential ethical issue with this study?
he is a minor, there is no mention of his providing assent. His anxiety
level was pretty high so maybe this should have been a B design with no
pretest
What would you conclude from the results of this study?
It was somewhat successful but he still has high levels of anxiety and did
not meet the goal of consistently scoring 50 or lower. They should not
conclude that he needs to be on medication.
Write a hypothesis (not a question) for this study.
