1. A psychologist would like to measure the effectiveness of a new treatment for Generalized Anxiety Disorder. To do so, she first measures the level of anxiety experienced by her patients before they receive any treatment. She uses a self-report measure called the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI). Higher scores indicate more anxiety. She then provides the new treatment, which takes 12 sessions. After the 12 sessions are completed, she again has her patients complete the STAI to measure their anxiety symptoms. The data are as follows:

How has the use of mass media played a significant role in shaping our thoughts in the social problem you chose in Module 1? Be sure to focus on the same issue for this module.

Your second task is to list the demographics discussed in the article. Are specific nationalities targeted? What is the average age of those affected? What is that significance of these elements?

Your third task is to relay the regions of the world this issue is taking place. Where, geographically, does the article suggest this issue is sooner taking place? If the article discusses the United States and the problem exists everywhere in the US, is there a kind of geographical location associated with the discussion, specifically, sections of a given state, neighborhoods, etc.
