Ch. 11 - Complex Experimental Designs

Question 1

complex vs. basic designs

Answer 1

basic: 1 DV, 1 IV
complex: many IV’s, DV’s, factorial design (multiple IV), multivariate (multiple DV)

Question 2

2x2 between subjects factorial design

Answer 2

two IVs in the same study
2 x 2 box: 4 groups

Question 3

confirmatory and explanatory hypothesis

Answer 3

confirmatory: researcher specifies. what effects they expect to find
exploratory: does not specify what will be found, more out of curiosity

Question 4

main effects vs interaction effects

Answer 4

main: compare diffs between levels of one IV across another
interaction: combined effect of both, an effect of IV on DV depends on the other IV

Question 5

post-hoc tests

Answer 5

compares means of levels of IVs

Question 6

higher order designs

Answer 6

3+ independent variables
2x2x2, for example

Question 7

repeated measures complex designs

Answer 7

participants exposed to ALL levels of IV
increases statistical power

Question 8

mixed designs

Answer 8

includes between-subjects (OR) and repeated-measures (AND)
