#'One-Way Independent Groups Design Example - Religious Parenting
#'
#'Summary data used in Chapter 14 of the book \emph{Introduction to the New
#'Statistics}.
#'
#'To what extent does being raised in a religious famility relate to prosocial 
#'or altruistic behavior.  To investigate, Decety et al. (2015) collected data 
#'from a large, international sample (N = 1,170 with families recruited from the 
#'U.S., Canada, Jordan, Turkey, South Africa, and China.).  Parents reported 
#'their religious belief (Non-religious, Christian, Muslum, Buddhist, Jewish, 
#'Hindu, or other).  In addition, children played a game in which they were 
#'given 10 stickers but then asked if they would share some of these stickers 
#'with another child who hadn't been able to make it to the lab to play the game.  
#'The measure of altruism/sharing is the number of stickers given (out of 10).
#'
#'Summary data from this study are provided in the data frame.  
#'
#'The researhcers asked two questions:
#'\itemize{
#'          \item Do children raised by Christian parents differ in sharing/altruism
#'           relative to children raised by Muslim parents?
#'           \item Do children raised by non-religious parents differ in sharing/altruism 
#'           relative to children raised by religious parents (Christian or Muslim).
