Imagine that you read the following passage in a popular magazine. Should you conclude that the original article found evidence of an interaction? Why is or isn’t there evidence of an interaction? “One study had participants watch a crime show. Half the participants watched a documentary of a murder that took place in rural Virginia, while the other half watched a movie adaptation of the same murder. The effect of viewing a crime show on people’s fear of being a victim of crime depends on the participants’ sex, with women in general being more fearful regardless of which show they saw, whereas men reported more fear after watching the documentary.”
