Data set based on the hypothetical example used by R.J. Boik (1979) to explain the analysis of interaction contrasts. It represents the electrodermal response of 72 students complaining of hemophobia, treated with different fear reduction therapies and doses of antianxiety medication, in a balanced factorial design. The observed values of the dependent variable (not given in the original article) are contrived so that the results of all the tests are coherent with the examples.

therapyFear reduction therapy. Factor with levels control, T1, T2.
