Three-Way ANOVAs Flashcards

1
Q

What is a strength of a three-way ANOVA?

A

Higher external validity as the world is complicated and has many variables and interactions

Q

What is a two-way interaction in a three-way ANOVA?

Q

How do you identify a three-way interaction from simple interactions?

A

If the pattern of one simple interaction within one level of a moderator is different from the pattern of the other simple interaction within the other level of the moderator

Q

What follow up test is required for a significant simple effect test in a three-way ANOVA?-

A

Simple comparisons (if 2+ levels)

17
Q

What follow-up tests are required for a significant 3-way interaction in a three-way ANOVA?

A
  1. Simple interaction effects
  2. Simple simple effects
  3. Simple simple comparisons (if 2+ levels)
18
Q

What follow-up tests are required for a significant simple interaction effect in a three-way ANOVA?

A
  1. Simple simple effects
  2. Simple simple comparisons (if 2+ levels)
19
Q

What follow-up tests are required for a significant simple simple effect in a three-way ANOVA?

A

Simple simple comparisons (if 2+ levels)

20
Q

What do simple interactions effects do?

A

Break down the 3-way interaction into a series of 2-way interactions at each level of the least interesting factor

21
Q

What variable are simple simple effects and simple simple comparisons only conducted for?

A

The focal IV

22
Q

What is the advantage of doing a three-way ANOVA as opposed to 2 two-way ANOVAs?

A

The error term is more powerful and smaller as variance is accounted for by 3 main effects, 3 two-way interactions and 1 three-way interaction

23
Q

What is the difference between doing simple interaction effects and doing a two-way ANOVA?

A

Simple interaction effects uses a pooled error term from the 3-way omnibus ANOVA as opposed to two seperate MSerrors from the 2-way omnibus ANOVA for each level of the moderator

24
Q

What do simple simple effects do?

A

Examine the effect of the focal IV at each level of each moderator

25
Q

How many simple simple effects are done?

A

One for every level of the two moderators
