repeated and mixed ANOVAs Flashcards
what do repeated ANOVAs allow us to do?
allows us to explain variance that we are yet to be able to explain
what is a One-Way âIndependentâ Samples ANOVA?
- between-subjects
- each participant contributes one data point
- participates in one condition (different people in different conditions)
- subjective to participant effects / differences and variance we cannot account for when using an independent design
how can we account for variance we cannot account for when using an independent design?
Repeated Measures ANOVA
what is a repeated measures ANOVA?
- participants contribute multiple data points (i.e. before and after (counterbalanced) or condition 1 and 2 (two different intervention types)
- same participants are in different conditions
- data points are not independent
what are some benefits of repeated measures?
- Sensitivity
- unsystematic variance is reduced
- more sensitive to experimental effects
- (because unsystematic variance due to individual differences in reduce, the noise in our data is reduced and we are more able to catch an experimental effect which is there)
- economy -> fewer participants needed
what is the theory of ANOVAs?
if group (IVs) are truly different (shown in DV) then MSm > MSr
* model explains a large proportion of the variance
In repeated measures, what variance are we explaining?
within-subject variance (everything within our experiment or other within subject factors)
* between-subject is the residual variance (stuff that cannot be explained while using our model) -> we ignore the variance between individuals
what does the F statistic look at?
variance explained by the model (/) as explained as the variance is left over
F =
MSm / MSr
MSm
Variance explained by model (âsystematic varianceâ)
MSr
variance leftover (noise)
what are some problems with repeated measures?
- same participants in all conditions means scores across all conditions correlate with each other -> violating assumptions of sphericity
i.e. high scores in condition 1 should also be higher scorers in condition 2
how are problems with correlating scores understood?
sphericity -> so a standard ANOVA assumes the correlation between those conditions is the same across combinations or âvariances in the differences between conditions are equal
what does sphericity rely on?
people are internally consistent -> if this doesnât happen, it distributes sphericity
how is sphericity measured?
Mauchlyâs Test
Mauchlyâs Test
- only applies when there are within subject factors
we expect the difference that the correlations between each of the different combinations of conditions to be roughly equal -> so we expect there not to be a massive difference between scores
