Chapter 10: Complex Experimental Designs

Question 1

What are factorial designs?

Answer 1

Designs with more than 1 IV (factor)

Question 2

2x3
How many IVs, conditions, potential main effects, and potential interactions are there?

Answer 2

IV- 2
Conditions- 6
Main effects- 2
Interactions- 1

Question 3

2x2x2
How many IVs, conditions, potential main effects, and potential interactions are there?

Answer 3

IVs- 3
Conditions- 8
Main effects- 3
Interactions- 4

Question 4

3 factors always equals how many potential interactions?

Answer 4

4

Question 5

What 2 kinds of info do factorial designs produce?

Answer 5

Main effects- The effect of each IV by itself

Interaction effects- the interaction between the IVs

Question 6

What are the three types of assignment procedures?

Answer 6

1. Independent group design(between subjects)- different groups assigned to conditions
2. Repeated measures design(within-subjects)- same participants in all conditions
3. Mixed factorial design- one IV has same participants, another doesn’t

Question 7

What assignment procedure/design is shown?

Answer 7

Independent group design

Question 8

What type of assignment procedure/design is shown?

Answer 8

Repeated Measures design

Question 9

What type of assignment procedure/design is shown?

Answer 9

Mixed design

Question 10

Answer the questions in the image shown

Answer 10

1. Design- 3x3
2. IVs- 2
3. Conditions- 9
4. Main effects- 2
5. Interactions- 1

Question 11

What are complex designs?

Answer 11

A design that has more than 2 conditions

Question 12

When would you use complex/factorial designs?

Answer 12

When you suspect a curvilinear relationship, as you can only see this if you have 3+ conditions

Question 13

If the marginal means on a factorial design are the same, is there a main effect?

Answer 13

No, there isn’t

Question 14

If the marginal means on a factorial design aren’t the same, is there a main effect?

Answer 14

Yes, there is
