Dohle and Siegrist (2014, Exp 1) illustrating within-subject analysis (long-format)

Source: R/dohle_siegrist.R

A data set containing data from Dohle and Siegrist (2014)'s Experiment 1 that can be used to conduct within-subject joint-significance test. In this experiment, researchers are interested in the effect of name complexity on willingness to buy a drug. The specific hypothesis is that complex drug names are perceived as more hazardous, which makes someone less likely to buy the drug. Researchers used a within-subject design.

This data set is in a long-format, see mdt_within to conduct a within-participant mediation analysis with this data set.
