What analysis has been used?

A psychologist was interested in the effects of different fear information in children’s beliefs

about an animal. Three groups of children were shown a picture of an animal that they had

never seen before (a quoll). Then one group was told a negative story (in which the quoll is

described as a vicious, disease?ridden, bundle of nastiness that eats children’s brains), one

group a positive story (in which the quoll is described as a harmless, docile creature that

likes nothing more than to be stroked), and a final group weren’t told a story at all. After the

story children rated how scared they would be if they met a quoll, on a scale ranging from 1

(not at all scared) to 5 (very scared indeed). To control for the natural anxiousness of each

child, a questionnaire measure of trait anxiety was given to the children and used in the

analysis. The (edited) R output is below. The next two questions relate to this output.





a. Analysis of covariance.

b. Independent analysis of variance.

c. Repeated measures analysis of variance.
