2. Swearing is a common response to pain. Researchers conducted an experiment comparing swearing with other responses to pain. They hypothesize that swearing increases the amount of pain a person can tolerate. For this study, a group of participants were to place one hand in icy water for as long as they could bear the pain. In the first trial, they were told to repeat their favorite swear word over and over for as long as their hands were in the water. Then, in their second trial, the same participants were told to repeat a neutral word over and over for as long as their hands were in the water. In both trials, researchers measured how long they were able to tolerate the pain while their hands were submerged. In this setup, is this a one-tailed or two-tailed test (and explain why)? Is this an independent samples t-test, repeated measures t-test, or factorial analysis of variance (and explain why)?
