PrepTest 142 - Section 2 - Question 22

Show summary

Psychiatrist: Support In treating first-year students at this university, I have noticed that those reporting the highest levels of spending on recreation score at about the same level on standard screening instruments for anxiety and depression as those reporting the lowest levels of spending on recreation. ████ ████████ ████ ███ ██████████ ████████ ████ ████ ██████ ██ ████████ ██ ██████████ █████ ██████ ████ ████████ ███████ ██████████ █████ ███████ ██ ███████████

Summarize Argument

The author concludes that first-year students with high levels of spending on recreation can reduce spending without increasing their anxiety or depression. This is based the fact that at a particular university, the first-year students reporting the most spending on recreation score the same level on anxiety/depression tests as those who report the lowest-levels of spending on recreation.

Notable Assumptions

The author assumes that the students reported spending amounts reflect actual spending amounts. The author assumes that students who spend in between the highest and lowest amounts on recreation don’t have higher rates of depression/anxiety than the students with the highest spending. The author assumes that the first-year students at this university are representative of first-year students in general.
