14. Many people lose their jobs during economic downturns. Assume that an Industrial and Organizational psychologist is studying the level of psychological stress of job seekers. One of the independent variables is age. Age is classified into three levels: younger than 40, 40–55, and older than 55. The descriptive statistics of psychological stress scores for all three groups are reported in table below. Higher numbers mean higher reported psychological stress.
