Factorial Designs

Question 1

Question

What makes a factorial design?

Answer

Designs that have at least two IVs are known as factorial designs
Designs that have at less than two IVs are known as factorial designs

Question 2

Question

What can factorial designs assess?

Answer

Main effects and Interaction
Main interactions and Simple effects
Marginal Means and simple means
Interaction

Question 3

Question

What are the advantages of a Factorial Design?

Answer

Less time consuming, effective, ethical
require fewer participants, can examine interactions between IV's, can generalise results

Question 4

Question

An interaction occurs when:

Answer

One IV interacts with another IV when the effects of one IV are different depending on which level of the other IV is being considered and One IV interacts with another IV when it changes the impact of another IV on the DV
One Iv has an interaction with another level and DV shows responses on different levels

Question 5

Question

Does the "Grand Means" equate to the means of all the observations?

Answer

True
False

Question 6

Question

Are Marginal Means calculated for each factor or just for the factor which is being examined?

Answer

Each Factor
Examined Factor

Question 7

Question

Cell means are the simple effects that are investigated at the level of cell means.

Answer

True
False

Question 8

Question

What is the function of simple effects?

Answer

As a follow up test.
To compare means
To follow up and interpret a significant interaction.

Question 9

Question

What are the Assumptions for Factorial Design?

Answer

Normality
Homogeneity of Variance
Independence of sample Variance
Independent of Random Sampling
DV scores have to be the same
All of the Above

Question 10

Question

Factorial experiments allow researchers to:

Answer

Combine each treatment’s main effects to see the overall effect they have in a study
Contrast the average of these main effects to determine if the treatment has one effect on one group of participants and another effect on another group of participants
A and B.

Question 11

Question

Main effect is isolating one factor and examining the effect of this factor on the DV

Answer

True
False

Question 12

Question

In Factorial designs, you compare one treatment’s main effects with another treatment’s main effects and if one factor differs significantly at discrete levels of the other factor we have an interaction.

Answer

True
False

Question 13

Question

Can Interactions be both ordinal and disordinal?

Answer

True
False

Question 14

Question

For each pair of factors there are two main effects and one interaction which can occur in any combination. Which one is most correct?

Answer

Two Main effects but no interaction
Interaction but no main effect
One main effect only
One main effect & an interaction
All of the above.
