What is a Two-Way Factorial ANOVA?

A Two-Way Factorial ANOVA is a statistical test that allows us to analyze a research situation with TWO independent variables where we can examine the effect of each independent variable separately (i.e. main effect) and the interaction between two independent variables (i.e. interaction effect)

What is a Type I Error?

A Type I error occurs when the null hypothesis is rejected when it is true, a false positive. Ex. Your Covid test comes back positive but you don't actually have Covid

Why do we perform a Post-Hoc Test when our F-ratio value has already determined significance?

A significant F-ratio indicates that at least one difference in means is statistically significant but does not indicate which means differ significantly from each other, therefore, we would use a Post-Hoc test to see specifically which mean differences are significant.

True or False: A disadvantage of combining 2 factors in an experiment is that you cannot determine how either factor would affect participants' scores if it were examined in an experiment by itself

False A Two-Way Factor ANOVA allows us to determine the effect of one variable controlling for the effect of the other (i.e. main effects)

True or False: Two separate One-Way ANOVAs provide exactly the same information that is obtained from a Two-Factor ANOVA

False Main Effects (i.e. the specific effect of one Factor on the DV) in a Two-Factor ANOVA are identical to results of two One-Way ANOVAs BUT Two-Factor ANOVAs also provide Interaction Effect results that One-Way ANOVAs do not

True or False: Post tests are needed if the decision from an ANOVA is "fail to reject the null hypothesis" (i.e. the Null Hypothesis (H0) is true)

False Post-Hoc tests are needed ONLY if you reject the Null Hypothesis (H0)- indicating at least one mean difference is significant Remember: If the Null Hypothesis (H0) is true that means that mu1 = mu2 = mu3 which indicates there is no difference between means and therefore no statistical significance

7 We are given: dfbetween = 2 and dferror = 12 dfbetween = k-1 2 = k-1 k = 3 dferror = (k-1)(n-1) 12 = (3-1)(n-1) 12 = (2)(n-1) 6 = n-1 n = 7

How can a One-Way ANOVA have a Between-Subjects Design?

A One-Way ANOVA can have a between-subjects design by having each level of the independent variable have different participants. Each participant experiences only one level of the independent variable F= MSbetween / MSwithin Ex. It is hypothesized that exam scores will differ depending on the type of music students listen to while studying. To test this, students are assigned to listen to either Rock, Classical, OR Rap music while they study for an exam. Student exam scores are then measured and compared.

What is a One-Way Repeated Measures ANOVA?

A One-Way Repeated Measures ANOVA is a statistical test that allows us to analyze a research situation with ONE independent variable that has THREE or more levels It is a Within-Subjects Design where each participant experiences ALL levels of the independent variable. I.e. participants are measured repeatedly F = MSbetween treatments / MSerror

What is a Factorial Design Matrix?

A factorial design matrix organizes data such that cell means from conditions and marginal means from the levels of each independent variables separately can be easily determined examining a factorial design matrix is a preliminary assessment of the effects before statistical analyses are conducted information provided in the matrix is used to create a line graph

Marginal Mean

A marginal mean is a mean score for all the participants at a particular level of one of the independent variables and are used to explore possible main effects Computed by finding the average of their respective interaction means

What is an Interaction Effect?

An interaction effect ( or Dependence of Factors) exists when difference in the effect of one factor (or IV) depend on the level of another factor (IV)

Which combination of factors is most likely to produce a large value for the F-ratio? A. large mean differences and large sample variances B. large mean differences and small sample variances C. small mean differences and large sample variances D. small mean differences and small sample variances

B. large mean differences and small sample variances

What variance do we want more of?

Between-Groups Variance If Within-Groups Variance is larger that means greater error rate and therefore smaller F-ratio, remember Within is also called Error

Between-groups variance and within-groups variance

What is used to counteract the increase in alpha error due to multiple hypothesis test? (i.e. if you were to use multiple t-tests)

Bonferroni Adjustment

Dunnett's Test

Comparing all treatments with a control group Most powerful to hold experiment-wise error rates at or below alpha when comparisons are made to control group

If a Two-Factor ANOVA produces a statistically significant interaction, then you can conclude that A. Either the main effect for factor A or the main effect for factor B is also significant B. Neither the main effect for factor A nor the main effect for factor B is significant C. Both the main effect for factor A and the main effect for factor B are significant D. The significance of the main effects is not related to the significance of the interaction

D. The significance of the main effects is not related to the significance of the interaction Remember: When results provide a statistically significant INTERACTION that is saying that Factor A x Factor B together effected the dependent variable that is being tested. A significant Main Effect is when one factor (A OR B) can be said to be statistically significant in relation to the dependent variable. You can have a significant main effect for Factor A or B and no significant interaction effect for Factor AxB, and vice versa. The calculations are independent of one another.

Factorial Design Matrix Layout

Means found on the INSIDE of the matrix are the interaction means (cell means), i.e. interaction of AxB, and these means are what are plotted in a figure Means for each main effect are referred to as marginal means and are found OUTSIDE the matrix, i.e. main effect of factor a, main effect of factor b

What is Mean Square (MS)?

Estimates of variance across groups To calculate MS we divide the Sum of Squares by their respective dfs in order to get the average deviation from the mean, this lets us compare ratios to determine whether there is a significant difference due to treatment-the larger the ratio, the more the treatments affect the outcome By dividing by df we are able to create an unbiased estimate

What is the APA formatted statistic for One-Way ANOVA?

F = Variance (mean differences) between sample means / Variance (mean differences expected with no treatment effect)

What is the F-Distribution formula?

F = Variance between sample means / Variance expected with no treatment effect F = MSbetween treatments / MSerror (also called MSwithin)

What are two other names for Interaction Effect?

Non-Additive Effects-because the main effects do not "add" together AxB Interaction where A represents one IV and B represents the other IV

One-Way ANOVA: Within-Groups Sums of Squares (SSwithin)

The sum of the squared deviations of each score from its group mean. The sum of squares of the residual error is the variation attributed to the error. Formula: SSwithin = ∑ [ ΣXg^2 - (ΣXg )^2 / ng ] ∑ = Sum of SSwithin for all of the groups in the study Xg = the scores within each group or condition ng = the number of participants in each group

One-Way ANOVA: Total Sums of Squares (SStotal)

The sum of the squared deviations of each score from the grand mean and helps express the total variation that can be attributed to various factors. The Sum of Squares considers both the sum of squares from the factors (i.e. what you're testing) and from randomness or error Formula: SStotal = ΣX^2 - (ΣX)^2 / N N = total number of participants in study

True or False: A report shows ANOVA results: F(2,27) = 5.36, p < .05. You can conclude that the study used a total of 30 participants.

True dftotal = N-1 AND dftotal = dfbetween + dfwithin so dfs given are (2, 27) dfbetween = 2 dfwithin = 27 therefore dftotal = 27 + 2 = 29 AND dftotal = N-1 so 29 = N-1 N = 29 + 1 N = 30 Remember "N" is the total number of participants in the entire study

Are Main Effects and Interaction Effects independent or dependent on each other?

Independent Remember: A Main Effect is looking at whether the effect of one specific factor (or IV) is significantly different than the dependent variable while Interaction Effect is looking to see if there is a significant interaction that is dependent on the level or value of the other factor Main Effect: IV on DV Interaction Effect: (IVa x IVb) on DV

Two-Way ANOVA: What is the formula to find MS Factor A?

MSa = SSa / dfa

F-Distribution

F-distribution is a distribution of all possible values when the null hypothesis (H0) is true Every F distribution has separate degrees of freedom for the numerator and denominator A Fcv value cannot be negative because it is a ratio of two variances and variances must be positive F-distributions are always positive and positively skewed

One-Way Repeated ANOVA: F-Ratio Formula Descriptions

F= variance (differences) between sample means (without individual differences) / variance (differences) expected with no treatment effect (individual differences removed mathematically)

What is the APA formatted statistic for Two-Way Factorial ANOVA?

How can you use MS scores to look at error?

If MS-within is really large in comparison to MS-between there is more error in the study than treatment effect, which results in a small F-ratio

When using Tukey's HSD, when can we claim significance between two groups?

If the difference of two sample means (larger minus smaller) is greater than the HSDalpha then the difference between the two groups is significant at that alpha level

Factorial Design Matrix: Determining Main Effect

If the mean for Level 1a is different from the mean of Level 2a, there is a main effect of the independent variable A, but significance is still unknown Same means for Level 1a and Level 2a, there is no main effect of IV A

What type of ANOVA is used for Within-Subjects Design?

One-Way Repeated Measures ANOVA

What are errors from individual differences?

Participant characteristics may vary considerably from one person to another The differences in participant characteristics can influence measurements, especially in the dependent variable Repeated measures design controls for the effects of participant characteristics Due to the research design, individual differences are removed from the numerator of the F-ratio. However, individual differences must be statistically removed from the denominator

What are Post-Hoc Tests?

Post-Hoc Tests are follow-up tests done to determine exactly which mean differences are significant, and which are not, by comparing two individual means at a time (pairwise comparison) and each comparison includes risk of a Type I error How you decide which PAIRS of groups are significantly different aka the between-group differences *post-hoc is Latin for "after that"

What do Post-Hoc tests do in relation to error rate?

Post-Hoc tests are intended to keep the experiment-wise error rate to acceptable levels

Between- vs. Within-Subject ANOVAs

Random assignment of subjects in a between-subject design, observations are both change effect and treatment effect Chance effect due to random assignment minimized in within-subject design -Lowers error variance -Estimated by subjects' average performance across treatments

What does it mean when the Alternative Hypothesis (HA) is true?

Size of treatment effect is more than 0 F is noticeable larger than 1.00

What does it mean when the Null Hypothesis (H0) is true?

Size of treatment effect is near 0 F is near 1.00 Chance factors and error are the driving forces behind any differences No or little treatment effects Both between and within estimates should be the same

How is each variance for a F-Ratio computed?

Sum of Squares / Degrees of Freedom SS/df Variance between treatment: SS-between/df-between Variance within treatment: SS-within / df-within

Why is the Sum of Squares important?

Sum of Squares allows us to look at each score and see how far away the score is from the mean The bigger the sum of squares, the farther away your scores are from your mean, which means there is more variability in your data

What do we use to calculate variance in a Two-Way Factorial ANOVA? And why?

Sum of Squares because there are several sources of variance, therefore, several sums of squares must be calculated

For a Two-Way Factorial ANOVA, what do you know about independent variables?

That you have at least TWO independent variables

What is the alternative hypothesis (HA) for an ANOVA?

The alternative hypothesis for an ANOVA states that there is at least one mean difference among the populations HA: μ1 ≠ μ2 ≠ μ3 OR HA: μ1 = μ3 but μ2 is different OR HA: μ1 > μ2 < μ3 *Remember: the alternative hypothesis is rarely directional in an ANOVA and it should be based off previous research and theory

What is the biggest adjustment between Between-Subjects ANOVAs and Within-Subjects ANOVAs?

The biggest adjustment is the addition of a process to mathematically remove the individual differences variance component from the denominator of the F-ratio. F = variance (differences) between sample means (without individual differences) / variance (differences) expected with no treatment effect (individual differences removed mathematically)

What are random, unsystematic factors?

The error within the study which must be accounted for in both between- and within-treatment variance

One-Way ANOVA: Effect Size (Eta-Squared)

The measure of the proportion of variability in the scores that is accounted for by the differences between treatments Eta-Squared does NOT care about the percentage of variance accounted for by error Eta-Squared shows how much the effect of treatment is, with the understanding that significance was obtained by having little error in the study η^2 = SSbetween / SStotal

What is the null hypothesis for an ANOVA?

The null hypothesis for an ANOVA states that all THREE levels of the IV are the same H0: μ1 = μ2 = μ3

What is the difference between Tukey's HSD and the Scheffe Test?

Tukey's HSD lets you know how much each pair of groups must differ and the Scheffe Test just does an F-ratio with only the two groups you want to compare

Two-Way ANOVA: Graphing

Type of Graph: Line Graph X-Axis: More important Independent Variable, i.e. IV1-Level 1 and IV2-Level 2 will be graphed Y-Axis: Dependent Variable *Other Independent Variable goes in the Legend For Legend IV to be significant you need a large distance between both lines of IV that is graphed For X-Axis IV to be significant you need a line with a steep slope If the lines intersect or would intersect if they continued in either direction, then there is an interaction Without error bars we can only make educated guesses regarding the interaction Marginal means are the midpoints between cell means, the dots (not on the ends of the lines) represent the marginal means for the IVs
