  12. Single IV Designs

  13. Single IV Designs • Advantages of multiple-groups designs • Can discover nonlinear relationships • Test (and possibly rule out) potential alternative explanations

  14. Multiple IV designs • Factorial Designs • Signal enhancers • Advantages over single-IV designs: • Allow us to look at combinations of IVs at the same time • More time efficient than running multiple single-IV studies

  15. Factor A (First IV) Level A2 Level A1 A1B1 A2B1 Conditions: The combination of levels that participants experience Level B1 Factor B (Second IV) A1B2 A2B2 Level B2 Levels: Subdivisions of factors Factors: Major independent variables

  16. Factorial Designs • 2 x 2 design • Number of numbers tells us how many factors • Value of numbers tells us how many levels in each IV

  21. Main effect

  22. Factorial Designs • Main Effect: • Sole effect of one IV • Interaction: • Joint, simultaneous effect of both IVs at the same time • If you have a significant interaction, the effects of one IV depend upon the level of the other IV

  24. Assigning Participants to Groups in Factorial Designs • Independent groups • Randomly assigned to groups • Correlated groups • Matched pairs • Repeated measures • Natural pairs • Mixed groups • At least one IV has participants randomly assigned to groups, at least one IV has participants in correlated groups

  25. Signal between-groups variability statistic = error variability Noise Statistics in Factorial Designs • Factorial ANOVA (in SPSS: General Linear Model, Univariate Analysis of Variance)

  26. IV A variability IV B variability interaction variability Factor A Main Effect = Factor B Main Effect = Interaction of A and B = error variability error variability error variability Statistics in Factorial Designs • Factorial ANOVA

  27. Statistics in Factorial Designs • Factorial ANOVA

  28. Statistics in Factorial Designs • Steps for interpretation (2 x 2) • Is there a significant interaction? • If yes, you must describe what’s going on in the experiment using both IVs

  29. Statistics in Factorial Designs • Steps for interpretation (2 x 2) • Is there a significant interaction? • If yes, you must describe what’s going on in the experiment using both IVs • If no, ask: • Are there significant main effects? • Interpret effect of factor A • Interpret effect of factor B

  30. Statistics in Factorial Designs • How about a 2 x 3 factorial design? • Is there a significant interaction? • If yes, you must describe what’s going on in the experiment using both IVs • If no, ask: • Are there significant main effects? • Significant effect of factor A? • Significant effect of factor B? • If significant, then what?

  31. Statistics in Factorial Designs • How many interactions in a 2 x 2 x 2 factorial design?
