Hi, I’m making contrasts, and my 6 conditions are as follows: #1 female approach #2 male approach #3 female withdraw #4 male withdraw #5 car approach #6 car withdraw
If I want to create the contrast all-approaching-things minus fixation, I’m dealing with #1 female approach, #2 male approach, and #5 car approach. When I’m making the contrasts with mkcontrast, if I do (-a 1 -a 2 -a 5) that’s not what I want, because Matlab then weights each of them as .333. What I really want is for the car’s weight to equal the combined face’s weight to account for the 2 types of genders but only 1 type of car. Would it be correct to manually weight it as: ( .25 .25 0 0 .5 0)? I’m pretty sure that’s correct, but I just wanted to double check. Thanks, Stephanie Stephanie N.
