What a Factorial Design Tells You • Main effect: The effect of an IV on the DV, ignoring all other factors in the study. (Compare means of different levels of IV, while ignoring [collapsing across] other IVs [ i.e., compare marginal means]) • Interaction effect: When the effect of one IV on a DV differs depending on the level of a second IV. • Interpret the interaction first
Group Activity: Main Effects and Interactions Make graphs of the following situations: Study 1 Study 2 Study 3 Study 4
Factorial Designs: Naming Conventions • The first number is the number of levels in first IV, second number is number of levels in second IV, etc. • 2 x 2 • 2 x 3 • 2 x 2 x 3 • Between-subjects, repeated measures (within), mixed
Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) • Test statistic for ANOVA is F • Is related to t-test • ANOVA is for multiple levels of IV and multiple IVs MSbetween F = MSwithin • It compares the amount of variability between groups to amount within groups
Interpreting the F statistic (ANOVA) • Hand calculations • Calculate F (this is Fobtained). • Compare value with F in table (Table B.3. This is Fcritical). To do this need to know alpha and df. • If Fobtained > Fcritical, a significant effect. • In SPSS • Look at source (summary) table • Effects with significance values less than .05 are significant.

Post hoc comparisons • When there are more than two conditions, a significant F-test tells you that at least two means are different, but not which ones • To discover which are different, we use post hoc comparisons • Some of these include Scheffe, Newman-Keuls, Duncan, Tukey tests
