An experiment was done to look at the positive arousing effects of imagery on different people. A sample of statistics lecturers
was compared against a group of students. Both groups received presentations of positive images (e.g., cats and bunnies), neutral images (e.g., duvets and light bulbs), and negative images (e.g., corpses and vivisection photographs). Positive arousal was measured physiologically (high values indicate positive arousal) both before and after each batch of images. The order in which participants saw the batches of positive, neutral and negative images was randomized to avoid order effects. It was hypothesized that positive images would increase positive arousal, negative images would reduce positive arousal and that neutral images would have no effect. Differences between the subject groups (lecturers and students) were not expected. What technique should be used to analyse these data? Three-way mixed ANOVA Two-way mixed ANOVA Three-way repeated-measures ANOVA Two-way mixed analysis of covariance
1 answer:
Answer:
The Three way mixed ANOVA
Step-by-step explanation:
The Three factor repeated measures ANOVA analysis otherwise referred to as the Three way mixed ANOVA should be used for the analysis.
This is because we are comparing three independent variables in the context.
• People type (statistic lectures and students)
• Imagery type (positive, neutral and negative imagery)
• Repeated measure: Before and After images shown
• Measuring the dependent variable positive arousal as shown in the table attached to the answer.
After going through the table attached you will see that there should be performed a three factor repeated measures ANOVA analysis.
