Decision Tree: Groups

Are the scores from
the groups related?


Remember: Groups of scores are related when:
  • the researcher measured the respondents/cases more than once (e.g., before and after therapy or monthly from January to December)
  • the scores belong to natural pairs (e.g., husband-wife, twins, siblings)
  • the researcher matched the respondents/cases based on another variable that can potentially confound findings
