11 - Factorial Experiments

Question 0

Crossed factorial design

Answer 0

Hey study in which researches cross two or more independent variables, or factors, and study each possible combination of the levels of the variables.

Question 1

Cell

Answer 1

A condition in an experiment. The cell can represent the level of one independent variable in a simple experiment or one of the possible combinations of two independent variables in a factorial design.

Question 2

Factorial design

Answer 2

A study in which there are two or more independent variables, or factors.

Question 3

Interaction

Answer 3

In a factorial design, a situation that occurs when the effect of one independent variable differs depending on the level of the other independent variable.

Question 4

Main effect

Answer 4

In a factorial design, the overall effect of one independent variable on the dependent variable, averaging over the levels of the other independent variable.

Question 5

Marginal means

Answer 5

In a factorial design, the means for each level of an independent variable, averaging over the levels of another independent variable.

Question 6

Nested factorial design

Answer 6

A study with more than one independent variable, in which levels of one independent Drupal are nested under, and unique to, the levels of another, higher-order independent variable.

Question 7

Participant variable

Answer 7

A variable such as age, gender, or ethnicity whose levels are selected (or measure), not manipulated.
