Question: A study on motivated skepticism examined whether participants were more likely to be skeptical when it served their self-interest (Ditto & Lopez, 1992). Ninety-three participants completed a fictitious medical test that told them they had high levels of a certain enzyme, TAA. Participants were randomly assigned to be told either that high levels of TAA had potentially unhealthy consequences or that high levels of TAA had potentially healthy consequences. They were also randomly assigned to complete a dependent measure before or after the TAA test. The dependent measure assessed their perception of the accuracy of the TAA test on a scale of 1 (very inaccurate) to 9 (very accurate).
a. State the independent variables and their levels.
b. State the dependent variable.
c. What kind of ANOVA would be used to analyze these data? State the name using the original language as well as the more specific language.
d. Use the more specific language of ANOVA to calculate the number of cells in this research design.
e. Draw a table that depicts the cells of this ANOVA.
