Excluding a participant may introduce bias, recoding the extreme score may distort the data, and using a rank-order test may not be appropriate for all types of data. Using a t test for dependent means is a common and appropriate way to handle extreme scores, as long as the assumptions of normality and equal variances are met. However, if these assumptions are violated, alternative nonparametric tests may be more appropriate.
