In experimental this time I would like to introduce students to some of the basic statistics used to test hypotheses. I'm wondering if Undergraduate Journals such as Psi Chi are available in full text form through databases like EBSCOHOST, Infotrac, or Proquest's Psych Journals?
The Stats I'd like to learn about will be Chi Square, t-test, Pearson correlation, one-way, and factorial ANOVA.
I'm leaning towards a gender difference in book carrying observation for the Chi Square. References for this should be found easily enough, and I hope I can get them to speculate about possible moderators (e.g. athletes in sports that use more upper body strength vs. non athletes).
I'm thinking about the coke/pepsi test with the letter confound for the t-test using Likert ratings. I'm not sure about an article to be read with this one though.
In the past, I've tried social facilitation studies to teach factorial ANOVA but they flop more often than not.
Anyway, I need simple studies to replicate in class. Any ideas would be most appreciated.
