You should present a cogent argument based on your critical analysis of the questions posed, using appropriate psychological terminology. It is not enough to answer a question by merely listing facts.
A study was conducted by a psychologist to determine whether women had a preference for men who like children. One hundred fifty heterosexual female college students were randomly selected and randomly assigned to 3 groups of 50 each. Participants were not told the true purpose of the study. Instead, the participants believed they were testing a new dating Web site. Each group was shown a picture of the same man in a different scenario. Group A was shown a picture of the man alone. Group B was shown a picture of the man interacting with a child in a positive fashion. Group C was shown a picture of the man ignoring a crying child. The women were asked to rate the man on an attractiveness scale from 1 (very unattractive) to 10 (very attractive). The mean attractiveness rating for each group is presented in the table below.
