Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A simple effects analysis examines the effect of one independent variable (having a dog) on the dependent variable (donations) separately for each level of another independent variable (gender of pedestrians). Option B accurately describes this type of analysis. Option A describes a comparison between two conditions without considering the potential impact of gender, while option C describes a relative difference between male and female donations that does not account for the presence of a dog. Option D only mentions a graph and does not provide any information about the analysis being conducted.
