True Experiments Use Random
Assignment
Random Assignment: Leveling the
Playing Field
Random assignment acts to “level the
playing field” before the application of the
independent variable.
 Stamps out selection bias (sort of)

Design Experiment To Reduce
Chance Variation


Difference between groups on the dependent
variable can be attributed to the direct
manipulation of the independent
Such a difference that is unlikely to be due to
chance is “statistically significant.”
Two Design Options in Assigning
Participants

independent-groups design also known as a
between-subjects design


independent-groups, between-subjects design
repeated-measures design, also known as a
within-subjects design

repeated measures, within-subjects design
Independent-Groups, BetweenSubjects Design



Participants are randomly assigned to each of the
experimental conditions.
Each participant in each group experiences only one
condition of the independent variable.
Independent-groups,between-subjects designs require a
large number of people to be enrolled in a study.
Independent-Groups Design
Repeated –Measures, WithinSubjects Design
A repeated-measures design compares the
performance of the same individual across
all of the different experimental
conditions.
 When individuals are presumed to vary
widely on a dependent variable, a
repeated-measures design is often the
preferred choice for testing a research
hypothesis.

Major Limitation of Repeated-Measures,
Within-Subjects Design: Carryover Effects

An important source of experimental error
for a repeated-measures, within-subjects
design.
Carryover Effects Are Controlled By
Counterbalancing


Randomizing the order in which participants
receive treatments is a way to combat carryover
effects.
Counterbalance the order of treatments
Controlling for Carryover Effects in
Repeated Measures Design



A technique to control for the order of treatments
is counterbalancing.
Counterbalancing the order of treatments tends
to be more effective than randomizing the order
of treatments because it ensures that each
treatment or level of the independent variable
occurs in each time period of the experiment.
That way, every treatment has the same chance
of being influenced by confounding variables
related to a treatment coming before and after it.
Repeated Measures: Counterbalancing
Order of Treatment
Within-Subjects Design (Repeated
Measures)
Counter Balance with a Latin Square
Design
With complete counterbalancing often
untenable, researchers will frequently use
what is called a Latin-square design as
a way to combat confounds of carryover
effects in within-subjects experiments.
 A Latin-square design is an incomplete
counterbalancing arrangement in which
each possible order of treatments occurs
equally often across research participants.

Between or Within?
To manipulate an independent variable
between-subjects or within-subjects?
 That is the question, what is the answer?

Go with “Between” when….
Want to neutralize individual differences
and groups will equal prior to treatment or
manipulation of the independent variable,
such
 Drug outcome study, such as Randomized
Clinical Trial.

Between or Within?
To manipulate an independent variable
between-subjects or within-subjects?
 That is the question, what is the answer?

Go with “Within” when..

Carryover effects are not a huge problem
and counterbalancing of the order of
presentation is easy…
NULL HYPOTHESIS SIGNIFICANCE
TESTING
Statistical significance is used to test what
is referred to as the null hypothesis.
 The null hypothesis is defined as the
hypothesis of no difference or no
relationship, which the researcher tries to
reject, nullify, or disprove.
 The research hypothesis, predicts a
specific relationship between the
independent variable and dependent
variable

Statistical Significance
Are the results of an experiment
statistically significant?
 To answer this question, inferential
statistics provide a test of statistical
significance.

Statistical Significance and
Probability Values
Statistical significance testing tells us the
likelihood or probability that the observed
effect revealed by data analysis could be
due to chance alone.
 Statistical probabilities are set at levels of
significance in the form of probability (p)values

Statistical Significance= p<.05 Traditionally, p-values of .05 or less indicate that an obtained finding is statistically significant, meaning that there is a 5% chance or less that the obtained results are due to chance alone.  Statistical significance simply means that a finding is unlikely due to chance at a certain level of probability, usually .05 or less.  Statistical Significance and Null Hypothesis The null hypothesis is defined as the hypothesis of no difference or no relationship, which the researcher tries to reject, nullify, or disprove.  A statistically significant result allows you to reject the null hypothesis  Statistical Significance and Research Hypothesis The research hypothesis predicts a specific relationship between the independent variable and dependent variable  If our statistical analysis allows us to reject the null hypothesis, then the research hypothesis is accepted.  Type I and II Errors  Two types of errors must be weighed in making decisions about whether to reject or accept the null hypothesis. ◼ ◼ Type I Type II Type I Error Type I error occurs when the null hypothesis is wrongly rejected.  What is the likelihood of a Type I error, that is, rejecting the null hypothesis when in fact it is true?  The answer is the level of statistical significance stated as a probability (i.e., pvalue).  Probability of a Type I error is the significance level  Type II Error Type II error occurs when the null hypothesis is incorrectly accepted.  You have missed a significant result because your research design lacked sensitivity.  Type II errors are typically understood as a problem of statistical power, which as you know means the extent to which a study is adequately designed to find the predicted significant effect  Type I and II Errors: Internal Validity    How might Type I and Type II errors bear upon the internal validity of an experiment? A Type I error may occur because of a design flaw, for example, a failure to randomize the order of stimulus presentation in a test of memory of high imagery words. Type II errors are typically understood as a problem of statistical power, which as you know means the extent to which a study is adequately designed to find the predicted significant effect Statistical Power and Type II Error Type II errors are typically understood as a problem of statistical power, which as you know means the extent to which a study is adequately designed to find the predicted significant effect.  The likelihood of a Type II error decreases as internal validity of an experiment increases.  Internal Validity and Statistical Power As internal validity of an experiment increases, so does its statistical power.  Larger samples provide greater statistical power.  The idea is that if only a handful of research participants are tested, then a negative finding of no difference or no relationship may arise simply because not enough people were tested.  Reproducibility and Replication Reproducibility is a core principle of the scientific method.  A direct replication of an experiment attempts to recreate the conditions of the research design believed to be sufficient for obtaining the previously reported finding.  If the same results are generated by the new, independent investigation, then we can say that the experiment has been successfully replicated.  Single -Factor Experiment Oxytocin Improves “Mind-Reading” in Humans  What is the independent variable?  ◼  Treatment (oxytocin, placebo) What is the dependent variable ◼ Scores on the RMET Single-Factor Design →Multifactorial Design? How and why?  Remember factor = independent variable  Simplest Multifactorial Design?  2 x 2 Design  2 Independent variables, each with 2 levels  Notations and Terms The simplest multifactorial experimental design contains two independent variables, each with two levels or values.  This known as a 2 x 2 design  Factorial experiments are typically designated or identified by a numbering notation.  Notation  A 2 × 2 factorial design has two independent variables, with two levels or values.  The number of numbers tells how many factors or independent variables there are, and the number values indicate the number of levels of the independent variables.  A 3 × 4 (spoken as “three-by-four”) factorial design indicates two independent variables, one with three levels, and the other with four levels.  The order of the numbers makes no difference, so that a 3 × 4 factorial design could be just as easily identified as a 4 × 3. Combining Levels of Independent Variables in Multifactorial Designs    In a factorial design, every level of each independent variable is combined. For a 2 x 2 design, the two levels of each independent variable are combined for a total 4 levels/conditions/treatments. For a 3 × 4 design, this means the three levels of one independent variable are combined with the four levels of the other independent variable for a total of 12 levels or treatments. Calculating levels/conditions/treatments in a multifactorial design?     The number of treatment groups/conditions/levels that we have in any factorial design can be calculated by simply multiplying through the number notation. In a 2 × 2 example, we have 2 × 2 = 4 groups. In a 3 × 4 factorial design, we have 3 × 4 = 12 groups. A factorial experiment allows us to examine all these combinations. Research Idea You want to design an experiment that looks at how fast people recognize facial expression of emotion.  So your dependent variable will be reaction time ----how quickly to recognize a facial expression of emotion.  You will have 2 independent variables, each with two levels.  Research Idea You want to design an experiment that looks at how fast people recognize facial expression of emotion.  So your dependent variable will be reaction time ----how quickly to recognize a facial expression of emotion.  You will have 2 independent variables, each with two levels.  Name that emotion Name that emotion What is manipulated?

For each face, participants made a speedy judgment as to whether the face displayed anger or fear by responding via a right or left mouse click. Participants were instructed to label each face (fear/anger) as quickly and accurately as possible.

These two important features are: (1) emotional expression and (2) direction of eye gaze. Each is an independent variable, each with two levels Emotional Expression ◼ ◼  Direction of Eye Gaze ◼ ◼  Anger Fear Direct Averted Actual identity of the person is the same in both photographs. Identity is therefore a control variable that is held constant across both photographs. Multifactorial Designs Two or more independent variables are manipulated at the same time within the same study.  These experimental designs can become quite complex.  Referred to as factorial designs.  We use the term multifactorial for experiments that vary two or more independent variables.  2 Major Advantages of Multifactorial Designs    First, with a multifactorial experiment, the effects of each independent variable on the dependent variable can be isolated and tested. Second, a multifactorial experiment allows the researcher to isolate and test what are referred to as the interaction effects of the independent variables on the dependent variable. As such, multifactorial experiments provide a powerful and economical research design to begin to disentangle the intricacies of human experience. Newsflash: Interaction, New Concept, Must Know       An analogy might be helpful. Different drugs are known to interact to produce harmful or beneficial effects. Valium and alcohol when taken together, can interact to produce feelings of depression. Using each alone, however, may produce a very different emotional effect. Two drugs may work together or synergistically to enhance or magnify one or more effects. Elements interact to generate effects that otherwise would not have occurred with each drug alone. Interaction in Multifactorial Experiment Look at the four photographs below that vary on two factors, emotional expression and eye gaze direction.  Let’s say we found that emotional expression and eye gaze direction interacted to influence our responses to these photographs.  What could this mean?  What does interaction mean? Let’s say we found that emotional expression and eye gaze direction interacted to influence our responses to these photographs.  Let’s say we found that emotional expression and eye gaze direction interacted to influence our responses to these photographs  No Interactions Can be Tested in Single Factor Experiment. Why? Say we had a single-factor experiment with only one independent variable, emotional expression, and we found faster response to anger than fear faces.  But now in our multifactorial experiment, we add a second independent variable, eye gaze direction.  Need two or more independent variables to test interaction  Quick Check ) An experiment that manipulates two or more independent variables is referred to as a _______________design  A) Between-subjects  B) Within-subjects  C) Single-factorial  D) Multifactorial  Quick Check        A researcher chooses a single-factorial design: A) To examine the effects of two or more independent variables on a dependent variable B) To examine the effects of one independent variable on a dependent variable C) To examine the effects of the interaction of the independent variable on the dependent variable D) All of the above Quick Check        A researcher chooses a multifactorial design: A) To examine the effects of two or more independent variables on a dependent variable B) To examine the effects of one independent variable on a dependent variable C) To examine the effects of the correlation of the independent variable and the dependent variable D) All of the above Quick Check      What is the difference between adding a level to an independent variable versus adding a new independent variable?

D) The two independent variables are qualitatively different from each other Quick Check      Why is a multifactorial experiment more economical and efficient than a single-factorial experiment?
