A dataset from Field, A. P. (2023). Discovering statistics using R and RStudio (2nd ed.). London: Sage.

Usage

penalty

Format

A tibble with 75 rows and 5 variables.

Details

Fictional data set looking at predictors of success of penalty takers in soccer (or whatever sport you enjoy). The outcome variable is whether a penalty is scored or missed. Based on (imaginary) past research there are two factors that reliably predict whether a penalty kick will be missed or scored: (1) the extent to which the penalty taker is prone to worry (measured using the Penn State Worry Questionnaire, PSWQ); and (2) the past success rate of the penalty taker. State anxiety is also likely detrimental effects on performance so it was also measured. The data contain the following variables:

• id: Penalty taker's id

• pswq: proneness to worry on the Penn State Worry Questionnaire, PSWQ

• anxious: state anxiety

• previous: The percentage of previous penalties scored (to the nearest percent)
