Social facilitation and mere exposure are separate effects, both studied by
Zajonc.

Well, this is a little armchair review, but I saw this articled summarized

Agreed that it has a lot of the indicators we use to question the validity of a
finding.
However, I think it is possible, even likely, that body odor could be connected
to dominance. Testosterone is related to dominance and it spreads to a lot of
body fluids. That some odor unique to
In at least some observer ratings studies of non-human animal (e.g.,
chimpanzee) personality (plenty of controversy here; Sam Gosling at U of Texas

smelling testosterone is a possibility, so dominance could be a reasonable
trait to measure. Interesting info about the Big Five possibly becoming the
Big Six. I'll definitely have a read of the article Scott.

Dominance has been related to scent, and the response to scents, in

Does anyone know of any sites on the web that would provide students with

Hi
You don't mention what tests you want students to practice, but I have some
small sets of review problems for intro stats (binomial / sign test, various
t-tests, ANOVA, regression, chi2) at:
http://ion.uwinnipeg.ca/~clark/teach/2101/
The reviews are zReview_#.pdf, where # is 1, 2, or 3.
Thank you, Jim. It is an Intro Stats class and those are exactly the kinds of
problems they would need to practice.
