In: Statistics and Probability
A researcher is investigating the effects of emotion and gender
on cooperation. He randomly assigns participants to one of three
conditions: control, guilt, happiness
After inducing one of the three emotions, the researcher measures
each participant's level of cooperation in a game, on a scale from
1 to 10.
Men:
Control: 5 4 7 4 3 5 5 6
Guilt: 6 9 7 8 6 7 7 8
Happiness: 8 7 8 9 9 6 8 9
Women:
Control: 6 3 5 5 4 7 6 3
Guilt: 3 7 7 4 8 5 4 6
Happiness: 7 6 9 9 7 8 9 8

We will use Anova: Two-Factor With Replication:
