Social facilitation and mere exposure are separate effects, both studied by
Zajonc.
Zajonc (1965) proposed a solution to the problems of presence of others on
performance, social facilitation. The 60+ years of previous research had been
somewhat confusing because sometimes improved performance

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 testoster

What might make for an interesting critical-thinking activity for students
would be to have them read either the abstract or the summary of the study
available online
(http://medicalxpress.com/news/2011-12-people-personality-body-odor.html) and
then ask the students what questions they might ha
Stephen, thanks for your openness and insights ... some people tell jokes,
personally I prefer the Freudian defense of intellectualization :-) ...
Seriously, this topic IS relevant to teaching, especially in measurement, which

Dominance has been related to scent, and the response to scents, in
nonhuman animals, for decades. Accordingly, it is quite reasonable to suspect
that human scents might also signal dominance status. Many years ago I

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:
