Details

'Pop psychology' books sometimes spout nonsense that is unsubstantiated by science. I took 20 people in relationships and randomly assigned them to one of two groups. One group read the famous popular psychology book Women are from Bras and men are from Penis, and the other read Marie Claire. The outcome variable was their relationship happiness after their assigned reading. The (fictional) data contains the following variables:

  • id: the participant's id

  • book: whether the participants read Women are from bras and men are from penis or Marie Claire

  • happy: the participant's relationship happiness after reading the book assigned to them
