Imagine we were interested in the effect of supporters singing on the number of goals scored by soccer teams. We took 10 groups of supporters of 10 different soccer teams and asked them to attend three home games, one at which they were instructed to sing in support of their team (e.g., 'Come on, you Reds!'), one at which they were instructed to sing negative songs towards the opposition (e.g., 'You're getting sacked in the morning!') and one at which they were instructed to sit quietly. The order of chanting was counterbalanced across groups.
- Which of the following could be used to analyse these data?
A)One-way between-groups ANOVA
B)Three-way repeated-measures ANOVA
C)Loglinear analysis
D)One-way repeated-measures ANOVA

A one-way repeated-measures ANOVA would be appropriate for this experimental design as it involves measuring the effect of three different conditions (singing in support, singing negative songs, sitting quietly) on one variable (number of goals scored) within the same group of participants (supporters of each soccer team). The order of the conditions is also counterbalanced, which helps to control for any order effects that may influence the results. The other options, one-way between-groups ANOVA, three-way repeated-measures ANOVA, and loglinear analysis, are not as suitable for this design as they do not fully account for the within-subjects nature of the data.
