T-test comparison on Rose's QIWB (24 items, five subscales) in the quasi-experiment. Table 11 reports total means of 42.23 (experimental) vs 59.76 (control), t = 12.82, p = .00; the article states "the levels of writers' block have been alleviated but it was not eradicated".

"Table 11 revealed that the level of writer's block of the experimental group students has decreased relatively compared with the level of control group students."
