Research questions
1) Is there a response difference between positive and negative stimuli?
2) Will gender impact brain activity?
3) Do the two variables interact? (does the literature suggest an interaction? Note that just because you are testing two variables you are not always
looking for a “significant” interaction).
Your task is to analyse the data to answer the research questions and to complete the research report. Remember to examine the data to determine
whether or not they are suitable for the type of analysis you will run. Use your worksheets from the workshops!
Remember that your analysis must include consideration of the size of any effects and the 95% CIs on those effect sizes. You will also need to
include the appropriate inferential tests.
