Multigroup experimental design • PURPOSES: • COMPARE 3 OR MORE GROUPS SIMULTANEOUSLY • TAKE ADVANTAGE OF POWER OF LARGER TOTAL SAMPLE SIZE • CONSTRUCT MORE COMPLEX HYPOTHESES THAT BETTER REPRESENT OUR PREDICTIONS
Multigroup experimental design • PROCEDURES • DEFINE GROUPS TO BE STUDIES: • Experimental Assignment VS • Intact or Existing Groups • OPERATIONALIZE NOMINAL, ORDINAL, OR INTERVAL/RATIO MEASUREMENT OF GROUPS • eg. Nominal: SPECIAL ED, LD, AND NON-LABELED • Ordinal: Warned, Acceptable, Exemplary Schools • Interval: 0 years’, 1 years’, 2 years’ experience

Multigroup experimental design • dummy coding. Since the values are arbitrary we can use any two numerical values, much as we can name things arbitrarily- 0 or 1 A or B • Another nominal assignment of values is 1 and –1, called contrast coding: -1 = control, 1=experimental group Compares exp. with control: 1(E) -1(C)
Multigroup experimental design • NOMINAL: If the three are simply different treatments or conditions then there is no preferred labeling, and we can give them values 1, 2, and 3 • Forms: • arbitrary (A,B,C) • interval (1,2,3) assumes interval quality to groups such as amount of treatment • Contrast (-2, 1, 1) compares groups • Dummy (1, 0, 0), different for each group

Hypotheses about Means • The usual null hypothesis about three group means is that they are all equal: • H0 : 1 = 2 = 3 • while the alternative hypothesis is typically represented as • H1 : ij for some i,j .

POWER for ANOVA • Power nomographs- available from some texts on statistics • Simulations- tryouts using SPSS • requires creating a known set of differences among groups • best understanding using means and SDs comparable to those to be used in the study • post hoc results from previous studies are useful; summary data can be used
