Miller (1997) conducted a study of commitment to a romantic relationship and how much attention a person pays to attractive alternatives. In this study, participants were shown a set of slides of attractive individuals. At the start of the Results section, Miller notes, “The self-reports on the Attentiveness to Alternative Index and the time spent actually inspecting the attractive opposite-sex slides were positively skewed, so logarithmic transformations of the data were performed” (p. 760). Explain what is being described here (and why it is being done) to a person who understands ordinary parametric statistics but has never heard of data transformations.
