Hypothesis

In this study, we used cigarette addiction as unconscious drive (see Smokers 1 and Smokers 2). We hypothesized that smoking participants would influence the outcome of a qRNG in such a way that the effect follows a specific pattern derived from post-hoc analyses of the previous studies.

Participants

Characteristic Count/Statistic
N 236
Female 116
Male 120
Mean Age 32.64 years
SD Age 14.32 years

Materials

All materials and procedural decisions were identical to those of Studies 1 and 2.

Sample Size and Data Analyses

Participants were added until a total of 500 smokers had been reached, including all participants from Studies 1 and 2.

We hypothesized a non-linear effect development resulting in the cumulative z-score of all studies following a fitted dampened harmonic oscillation. To test this hypothesis, we compared the actual cumulative z-score to that of 10,000 simulations and predicted a closer match than 5% of simulations for the following test statistics:

  1. The area between the experimental data curve and the prediction.
  2. The Euclidian distance of the local maximum compared with that of the prediction.
  3. The Euclidian distance of the end point compared with that of the end point of the prediction.
