Weapons and Aggression In this assignment we analyze data that was collected as part of an experiment that investigated the mental relation between weapon and aggression. The experiment involved 32 undergraduate students ranging in age between 18 and 24 years. They were told that the purpose of this study was to test reading ability of various words. Each student was exposed to 192 trials. In each trial a computer presented a priming stimulus word for 1.25 seconds, a blank screen for 0.5 seconds, and then a target word. The experimenter instructed the subjects to read the first word to themselves and then to read the second word out loud as quickly as they could. The computer recorded reaction times. The 192 trials were divided into 4 groups of size 48 each. In one group the priming stimulus word was a weapon word (such as "dagger" or "bullet") and the target word was an aggressive word (such as "destroy" or "wound"). In another group the target word was instead a nonaggressive word (such as "evacuate" or "ashamed"). The third and fourth groups involved a name of an animal (such as "rabbit" or "dog") as the priming stimulus word and the target
