    Question

    A researcher is interested in the effect of giving feedback babies (two conditions: positive or negative feedback) to fathers when comforting a crying baby on the level of father’s self-confidence (self-reported on the basis of 30 questions).

    1. FALSE: Simple linear regression
    2. FALSE: Multiple logistic regression
    3. FALSE: Two-way ANOVA
