<strong>The</strong> distribution <strong>of</strong> data from each condition <strong>in</strong> Experiment 1 was tested for<br />

normality us<strong>in</strong>g a Shapiro-Wilk test. This test was selected because it was designed to<br />

test <strong>the</strong> normality <strong>of</strong> a distribution for researchers who are concerned about whe<strong>the</strong>r <strong>the</strong><br />

skew <strong>of</strong> a distribution will affect statistical <strong>in</strong>ferences. While each <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> four<br />

distributions are skewed, <strong>the</strong> Shapiro-Wilk test <strong>of</strong> normality <strong>in</strong>dicates that <strong>the</strong>se<br />

distributions do not differ significantly from a normal distribution, all p > .05. For this<br />

reason, it is appropriate to make <strong>in</strong>ferences on <strong>the</strong> data by us<strong>in</strong>g an ANOVA.<br />
