This document summarizes and critiques a research paper that examined the effects of handicap source, frequency, and performance on observer impressions. It used a 2x2x2 factorial ANOVA/MANOVA design. The summary found partial support for the paper's 3 hypotheses but noted low variance explanation and some contrary findings. The critique raised concerns about not testing assumptions, excluding variables from MANOVA, and small effect sizes. It concluded the paper advanced the field but improvements could have been made by addressing the critique's methodological points.
