PSY-452-Experimental PsychologyMatched-Subjects Design1)Separate the 40 participants listed below into two groups of 20, in which each group hasan equal number of men and women (10 M, 10 F each). Use a random numbers table(text, pp. 537-538) to accomplish this. (Start anywhere in the table, and proceed in anydirection that you like. Odd numbers put the subjects in group 1; even numbers in group2. When one group is filled, the rest go into the other group.)2)Next, separate the participants into two groups by using range matching (decide on youracceptable ranges in advance, for example, within 5 pounds).a)Match as many pairs of female participants as possible: find a match and randomlyassign one to the first group, and the other to the second group. Next, do the same forthe male participants.b)Next, match not only on gender, but also on weight.c)Finally, match the participants on all three variables.3)Finally, match the 40 participants on gender, weight, and height, using rank-orderedmatching
