big_hairy_spider
A tibble with 24 rows and 3 variables.
Is arachnophobia (fear of spiders) specific to real spiders or will pictures of spiders evoke similar levels of anxiety? Twelve arachnophobes were asked to play with a big hairy tarantula with big fangs and an evil look in its eight eyes and at a different point in time were shown only photos of the same spider. The participants' anxiety was measured in each case. The (fictional) data contains the following variables:
id: the participant's first name
spider_type: whether the spider stimulus was a real spider or a photo of a spider
anxiety: the participant's anxiety after exposure to the stimulus
