Field & Lawson (2003) reported the effects of giving 7-9 year old children positive, negative or no information about novel animals (Australian marsupials) . This variable was called 'Infotype'. Gender of the child was also examined. The outcome was the time taken for the children to put their hand in a box in which they believed either the positive, negative, or no information animal was housed (Positive values = longer than average approach times, negative values = shorter than average approach times) . Based on this information, what analysis has been done? [see Field, A. P., & Lawson, J. (2003) . Fear information and the development of fears during childhood: effects on implicit fear responses and behavioural avoidance. Behaviour Research and Therapy, 41, 1277-1293.]
