Sexually Aggressive Men's Responses to a Date Rape Analogue: Alcohol as a Disinhibiting Cue

Journal of Sex Research, Nov, 1998 by Jeffrey A. Bernat, Karen S. Calhoun, Stephanie Stolp

(1) Because decision-latencies were, as expected, not distributed normally, we performed a log-10 transformation on this variable to normalize the distribution. In order to determine the comparability of results, analyses of variance were conducted on both transformed and raw-score latency measures. These analyses yielded parallel results. Thus, the raw-score means are presented for ease of interpretation.
