Task 1: A few years back I was stalked. You’d think they could have found someone a bit more interesting to stalk, but apparently times were hard. It could have been a lot worse, but it wasn’t particularly pleasant. I imagined a world in which a psychologist tried two different therapies on different groups of stalkers (25 stalkers in each group – this variable is called Group). To the first group he gave cruel-to-be-kind therapy (every time the stalkers followed him around or sent him a letter, the psychologist attacked them with a cattle prod). The second therapy was psychodyshamic therapy, in which stalkers were hypnotized and regressed into their childhood to discuss their penis

(or lack of penis), their father’s penis, their dog’s penis, the seventh penis of a seventh penis and any other penis that sprang to mind. The psychologist measured the number of hours stalking in one week both before (stalk1) and after (stalk2) treatment (Stalker.sav). Analyze the effect of therapy on stalking behavior after therapy, covarying for the amount of stalking behavior before therapy.
