摘要: Use of the tetrad test has increased recently as both theoretical and experimental results have shown that it is statistically more powerful than triangle test. In this article, although, we show power advantage depends on choice instructions. Specifically, if experimenters ask respondents to select two most similar samples out four, instead asking group four into groups based similarity, then resulting will approximately same This fact serves a reminder importance correct instructions in difference testing, specific wording can clearly affect thus final conclusion an investigation. Practical Applications Businesses are increasingly considering alternative within their testing programs. article clarifies for test, shows its over be compromised incorrect given. Thus, essential practitioners provide task order realize full potential
