Question: Imagine a researcher wanted to assess people’s fear of dogs as a function of the size of the dog. He assessed fear among people who indicate they were afraid of dogs, using a 30-point scale from 0 (no fear) to 30 (extreme fear). The researcher exposed each participant to three
different dogs, a small dog that weighed 20 pounds, a medium-sized dog weighing 55 pounds, and a large dog weighing 110 pounds, assessing the fear level after each exposure. Here are some hypothetical data; note that these are the data from Exercises 11.39 through 11.43, on which you have already calculated several statistics:
- State your null and research hypotheses.
- Consider whether the assumptions of random selection and order effects were met.
- In Exercise 11.42, you calculated the effect size for these data. Interpret what this statistic tells us.

Small dog 7 16 3 9
Medium dog 15 18 18 13
Large dog 22 28 26 29
