Consider the model of Hatano et al. (2022) for Experiment 4. The authors fitted a linear mixed model for the intrinsic motivation score, a scale, with a continuous covariate (interim rating time) and the rating type (either predicted pre-experiment, or the true rating post-experiment). The rating time was centered. Using Oehlert (2000) approach

  1. Identify sources of variation
  2. Identify whether factors are crossed or nested
  3. Determine whether factors should be fixed or random
  4. Figure out which interactions can exist and whether they can be fitted.

Now, fit the linear mixed model using the following code

library(lmerTest)
data(HOSM22_E4, package = "hecedsm")
mixmod <- lmer(imscore ~ #TODO add covariates, etc.
               data = HOSM22_E4)
summary(mixmod) # coefficients
anova(mixmod) # type III analysis of variance table
  1. Report the results for the interaction test: is the interaction significative at level 5%? If not, compute estimated marginal means for rating type.
  2. Compute the correlation between measurements from the same students.
