(2015) regarding a proper group split procedure.”
• The Median Split: Robust, Refined, and Revived (2015, background): “4 in Iacobucci et al. (2015), the 8th bar from the left (in the Factor A results) should be at height 0.08 not at 0.11.”
• An Analysis of Data Quality: Professional Panels, Student Subject Pools, and Amazon's Mechanical Turk (2017, methodology): “To mimic the original study, we divided participants into high and low groups on CFC using a median split (Iacobucci et al. 2015) to be able to include the construct measure as a factor in analyses of variance.”
