Details

A researcher hypothesized that reality TV show contestants start off with personality disorders that are exacerbated by being forced to spend time with people as attention-seeking as them. To test this hypothesis, she gave eight contestants a questionnaire measuring personality disorders before and after they entered the show. A second group of eight people were given the questionnaires at the same time; these people were short-listed to go on the show, but never did. The (fictional) data contains the following variables:

• id: participant ID

• contestant: whether the participant was a contestant or was on the short list but never went on the show

• time: the time at which personality disorder traits were measured (before or after the show)

• pd_score: the score on a personality disorder traits questionnaire
