Welcome to MM570Psychological Statistics Unit 9 Seminar Dr. April Judd
Factorial Design and Interaction Effects • Factorial research design • Comparing multiple means on two independent variables (factors) • Interaction effects • There is an interaction between two factors if the effect of one of the factors changes for different categories of the other factor.
Factorial Design • We are interested in comparing the weekly study time for male and female students in different college majors. • By convention we will call one variable (Gender) Factor A and the other variable (College Major) Factor B. • Three Null Hypotheses • There is no difference in study time between different college majors (Green) • There is no difference in study time between females and males (Yellow) • There is no interaction between college major and gender on study time (Blue)
Interpretation • Females study more if they are Psychology or IT • Males study more if they are Psychology or Nursing majors. • There is no difference in the study time between males and females majoring in Psychology
