Statistics for the Social Sciences Factorial ANOVA Psychology 340 Spring 2010
Outline • Basics of factorial ANOVA • Interpretations • Main effects • Interactions • Computations • Assumptions, effect sizes, and power • Other Factorial Designs • More than two factors • Within factorial ANOVAs • Mixed factorial ANOVAs
More than two groups • Independent groups • More than one Independent variable • The factorial (between groups) ANOVA: Statistical analysis follows design
Factorial experiments • Two or more factors • Factors - independent variables • Levels - the levels of your independent variables • 2 x 3 design means two independent variables, one with 2 levels and one with 3 levels • “condition” or “groups” is calculated by multiplying the levels, so a 2x3 design has 6 different conditions
Factorial experiments • Two or more factors (cont.) • Main effects - the effects of your independent variables ignoring (collapsed across) the other independent variables • Interaction effects - how your independent variables affect each other • Example: 2x2 design, factors A and B • Interaction: • At A1, B1 is bigger than B2 • At A2, B1 and B2 don’t differ
Results • So there are lots of different potential outcomes: • A = main effect of factor A • B = main effect of factor B • AB = interaction of A and B • With 2 factors there are 8 basic possible patterns of results: 1) No effects at all 2) A only 3) B only 4) AB only 5) A & B 6) A & AB 7) B & AB 8) A & B & AB
Interaction of AB A1 A2 B1 mean B1 Main effect of B B2 B2 mean A1 mean A2 mean Marginal means Main effect of A 2 x 2 factorial design Condition mean A1B1 What’s the effect of A at B1? What’s the effect of A at B2? Condition mean A2B1 Condition mean A1B2 Condition mean A2B2

Factorial Designs • Benefits of factorial ANOVA (over doing separate 1-way ANOVA experiments) • Interaction effects • One should always consider the interaction effects before trying to interpret the main effects • Adding factors decreases the variability • Because you’re controlling more of the variables that influence the dependent variable • This increases the statistical Power of the statistical tests
Basic Logic of the Two-Way ANOVA • Same basic math as we used before, but now there are additional ways to partition the variance • The three F ratios • Main effect of Factor A (rows) • Main effect of Factor B (columns) • Interaction effect of Factors A and B
Partitioning the variance Total variance Stage 1 Within groups variance Between groups variance Stage 2 Factor A variance Factor B variance Interaction variance
Figuring a Two-Way ANOVA • Sums of squares
Number of levels of B Number of levels of A Figuring a Two-Way ANOVA • Degrees of freedom
Figuring a Two-Way ANOVA • Means squares (estimated variances)
Figuring a Two-Way ANOVA • F-ratios

Factorial ANOVA in SPSS • What we covered today is a completely between groups Factorial ANOVA • Enter your observations in one column, use separate columns to code the levels of each factor • Analyze -> General Linear Model -> Univariate • Enter your dependent variable (your observations) • Enter each of your factors (IVs) • Output • Ignore the corrected model, intercept, & total (for now) • F for each main effect and interaction
Assumptions in Two-Way ANOVA • Populations follow a normal curve • Populations have equal variances • Assumptions apply to the populations that go with each cell
Effect Size in Factorial ANOVA (completely between groups) Note: if you downloaded the lecture Tues. there were two errors
Approximate Sample Size Needed in Each Cell for 80% Power (.05 significance level)
Other ANOVA designs • Basics of repeated measures factorial ANOVA • Using SPSS • Basics of mixed factorial ANOVA • Using SPSS • Similar to the between groups factorial ANOVA • Main effects and interactions • Multiple sources for the error terms (different denominators for each main effect)
Example • Suppose that you are interested in how sleep deprivation impacts performance. You test 5 people on two tasks (motor and math) over the course of time without sleep (24 hrs, 36 hrs, and 48 hrs). Dependent variable is number of errors in the tasks. • Both factors are manipulated as within subject variables • Need to conduct a within groups factorial ANOVA
Within factorial ANOVA in SPSS • Each condition goes in a separate column • It is to your benefit to systematically order those columns to reflect the factor structure • Make your column labels informative • Analyze -> General Linear Model -> Repeated measures • Enter your factor 1 & number of levels, then factor 2 & levels, etc. (remember the order of the columns) • Tell SPSS which columns correspond to which condition • As was the case before, lots of output • Focus on the within-subject effects • Note: each F has a different error term
Example • It has been suggested that pupil size increases during emotional arousal. A researcher presents people with different types of stimuli (designed to elicit different emotions). The researcher examines whether similar effects are demonstrated by men and women. • Type of stimuli was manipulated within subjects • Sex is a between subjects variable • Need to conduct a mixed factorial ANOVA
Mixed factorial ANOVA in SPSS • Each within condition goes in a separate column • It is to your benefit to systematically order those columns to reflect the factor structure • Make your column labels informative • Each between groups factor has a column that specifies group membership • Analyze -> General Linear Model -> Repeated measures • Enter your within groups factors: factor 1 & number of levels, then factor 2 & levels, etc. (remember the order of the columns) • Tell SPSS which columns correspond to which condition • Enter your between groups column that specifies group membership • As was the case before, lots of output • Need to look at the within-subject effects and the between groups effects
Partitioning the variance • Stage 1 partition is same as usual • Stage 2 combines the other partitioning that we’ve done: • The between subjects var is broken into 2 parts • The within subjects is broken into different parts. • Note: the interaction, because it involves a within groups variable, comes out in the partitioning of the within groups par
