David,

Unlike Federico, it is not clear to me how can you design a social
science experiment that keeps all the predictors constant (except for
the one you would like to check).

The only thing that comes to my mind - is to ask subjects to fulfill a
detailed questionnaire with background questions prior to
participation in the experiment, and then to use regression analysis.

I also don't understand the difference between analysis of variance
and regression analysis. i believe these terms are identical (i.e.,
ANOVA equals regression analysis)
