Using the data in Task 2, see whether the type of picture viewed was associated with indicating admiration or jealousy for the athlete.

Data From Task 2

Labcoat Leni’s Real Research 19.1 describes a study (Daniels, 2012) that looked at the impact of sexualized images of athletes compared to performance pictures on women’s perceptions of the athletes and of themselves. Women looked at different types of pictures (picture) and then did a writing task. Daniels identified whether certain themes were present or absent in each written piece (theme_present). We looked at the self-evaluation theme, but Daniels identified others: commenting on the athlete’s body/appearance (athletes_body), indicating admiration or jealousy for the athlete (admiration), indicating that the athlete was a role model or motivating (role_model), and their own physical activity (self_physical_activity). Test whether the type of picture viewed was associated with commenting on the athlete’s body/appearance (daniels_2012.sav).
