Use the following research scenario to answer the next four questions:
A researcher was interested in the effects of 1) alcohol consumption and 2) content of a videotape, on how likely one is to support rape myths. The researcher randomly assigned 60 college-aged males to one of the following three groups: no alcohol consumed, a moderated amount of alcohol consumed, and a large amount of alcohol consumed. Additionally, half of the participants were shown the educational video on rape myths. The other half of the participants watched a documentary on owls (a control condition). At the end of the study all the participants filled out a survey on rape myth acceptance. Higher scores on the survey indicated higher acceptance of rape myths.
The results indicated that the participants who watched the educational video scored significantly lower on the rape myth scale compared to the group that watched the owl video. What does this suggest?
A) There is a main effect of alcohol consumption.
B) There is a main effect of video type.
C) There is an interaction between alcohol consumption and video type.
D) For some unknown reason, owls seem to promote rape myth acceptance.
