12.49 Feedback and ANOVA: Stacey Finkelstein and Ayelet Fishbach (2012) examined the impact of feedback in the learning process. The following is an excerpt from their abstract: “This article explores what feedback people seek and respond to. We predict and find a shift from positive to negative
12.48 Skepticism, self-interest, and two-way ANOVA: A study on motivated skepticism examined whether participants were more likely to be skeptical when it served their self-interest (Ditto & Lopez, 1992). Ninety-three participants completed a fictitious medical test that told them they had high
