Imagine that I was interested in the effect of benevolent intentions on pleasure. Participants received one of two types of goodies: a tootsie roll with a note that read, "I picked this goodie just for you. I hope you like it!" or a note that read, "I was told to pick this goodie. So, whatever." After the participants completed a puzzle and ate the candy they were asked how delicious they thought the good was on a scale that ranged from 1 (not at all delicious) to 6 (extremely delicious). The data are below.
Benevolent condition, M = 4.55, SD = 2.10
Apathetic condition, M = 2. 30 SD = 1.25
1. Describe the variability in both conditions.
