Hi, all,
We are testing a group of subjects on their performance in two different
conditions (say, A and B), and we are testing them individually. We have an
alternative hypothesis that reaction time in condition A should be longer
than in condition B, so we perform a one-tailed t test. However, for some
subjects, they showed the pattern reverse to our alternative hypothesis--RT
B> RT A, and the p value is significant under one tailed test.
Could we claimed that these "reversed" subjects showed "significant" results
in the opposite direction, or we should treat them as non-significant
results?
Thanks,
Erik
