Wähle eine der folgenden:

  • A robust version of ANOVA

A researcher conducted a study to examine whether people’s attachment styles are associated with differences in relationship satisfaction. Participants were divided into three groups according to their attachment styles (secure, dismissing, and fearful) and their relationship satisfaction was measured.

A researcher wanted to see whether giving students caffeine would improve their memory. He gave all students a memory test, then he randomly assigned participants to two groups. One group received a caffeinated drink and the other group received a decaffeinated drink. Both groups then took another memory test (with different questions).

  • Caffeine

  • There was no covariate
