In an experiment, I wanted to check the effect of image redness on subjects' choices of an image. I modified the images at three redness levels (I: Increased redness, N: Normal, and D: Decreased redness). I presented all the pairs to different subjects (I vs N, D vs N, and D vs I) and instructed them to choose the one that seems more appealing to them.
From the box plots with notches, I can visually see the effects, but I am looking for a proper statistical index to compare these conditions.
I have already used a t-test (number of selections per condition and comparing each pair), and I used Freidman Tests too. But I am not sure if this is the right way to do it. Could please introduce a proper test or documentation guide that I can go through?
