ABSTRACT

In this chapter, the authors present several examples of published research that used the mixed ANOVA. In first case study, the researchers report on a method of measuring implicit bias against transgender people. To do so, they use a technique called the affect misattribution procedure. Participants received scores for neutral primes (where they reacted to neutral words like “relevant,” “green,” and “cable”), and also reacted to a set of transgender primes (where they reacted to words like “transgender” and “transman”). In second case study, the authors report on an experimental project to improve college and university staff attitudes and competencies about suicide and suicide prevention. They randomly assigned participants to receive suicide intervention training or to be on a waitlist for training (with waitlist participants serving as the control group). The between-subjects independent variable was experimental group versus control group, which was randomly assigned.
