FRHD 3070 Lecture Notes - Lecture 12: Repeated Measures Design, Watching Movies, Sexual Arousal
Document Summary
Example: adams, wright and lohr (1996) were interested in some basic psychoanalytic theories that homophobia may unconsciously be related to the anxiety of being our becoming homosexual. The administered the index of homophobia to 64 heterosexual males and classed them as homophobic or non homophobic on the basis of their score (a pre test). They then exposed [the] men to videotapes of sexually explicit erotic stimuli portraying heterosexual and homosexual behaviour, and recorded their level of sexual arousal. Scale of homophobia and class them as homophobic or non homophobic on the basis of their score. Factors to consider: advantages, fewer participants, only need one group of participants for the study, e. g. have 20 participants in each of the two levels 40 participants are needed for an between participants design. Ways to minimize disadvantages: counterbalancing, carryover, practice and fatigue can also be addressed by counterbalancing.
