t statistic. (sorry about that..:) One more question, should I worry if the
standard error of the mean is bigger than the mean itself? My thesis adviser

It is okay your standard deviation is larger than your mean. This just means that your sample is quite dispersed.
Did you notice - you are Replying to a message from 1999?
Your answer ("quite dispersed") is based on the assumption
that all the scores are positive. When the mean is near zero,
owing to negative scores, it is very possible to have low
dispersion when the the SD or SE is larger than the mean.
