Illustrative Psychological Data and Hypotheses for Bayesian Inequality Constrained Analysis of Variance

  • Chapter
Bayesian Evaluation of Informative Hypotheses

Part of the book series: Statistics for Social and Behavioral Sciences ((SSBS))

Abstract

In this chapter, three datasets from existing psychological research programs will be introduced that allow for an investigation of differences between groups on a single outcome variable. The first dataset was gathered to study amnesia in people with Dissociative Identity Disorder. The second dataset was originally generated to study emotional reactivity and emotional regulation in children subjected to different kinds of social evaluation by peers. The third dataset was obtained from research on coping with loss that, among other purposes, was used to study gender differences in coping. These three datasets will be used in subsequent chapters to illustrate Bayesian inequality constrained analysis of variance.
