You must read each slide, and complete any questions on the slide, in sequence.
Nonexperimental Design
A design in which there is no control or manipulation of the variables. This design does not seek to establish cause and effect and instead focuses on describing or summarizing what takes place.
Experimental Design
A design in which the experimenter controls and manipulates the independent variable and makes comparisons between the different levels, allowing the establishment of cause-and-effect relationships between the independent and dependent variables.
Independent Variable (IV)
The variable that influences the dependent variable. In experiments the researcher manipulates or controls this variable.
Dependent Variable (DV)
The variable measured in association with changes in the independent variable; the outcome or effect.
Between-subjects Design
A data collection method in which each participant or subject is only assessed on the dependent variable once.
Within-subjects Design
A data collection method in which each participant or subject is assessed on the dependent variable more than once.
Repeated-measures Design
A design where participants are exposed to each level of the independent variable and are measured on the dependent variable after each level.
Factorial Design
An experimental design that has more than one independent variable, which are all between-subjects.
Mixed Design
An experimental design that combines within-subjects and between-subjects methods of data collection.
Experimental Realism
The degree to which a study participant becomes engrossed in the manipulation and truly influenced by it.
Mundane Realism
The degree to which a study parallels everyday situations in the real world.
Reliability
The stability or consistency of a measure.
Validity
The degree to which a tool measures what it claims to measure.
Sensitivity
The range of data a researcher can gather from a particular instrument.
Main Effect Hypothesis
A prediction that focuses on one independent variable at a time, ignoring all other independent variables.
Interaction Effect Hypothesis
A prediction about how the levels of one independent variable will combine with another independent variable to impact the dependent variable in a way that extends beyond the sum of the two separate main effects.
IRB
A board that reviews the ethical merit of all the human research conducted within an institution.
Descriptive
Describes what is happening.
Inferential
Tests a specific prediction about why something occurs.

Mixed Design

This activity will ask you to create a design to test the impact of gender and time on perceived attractiveness. Within your design, you will investigate the combined effect of a between-subjects variable and a within-subjects variable on another variable.

Something to Think About…

Scenario: Dating has changed drastically over the years, from chaperoned visits with family members to computerized matchmaking on dating Web sites. Speed dating, in particular, has exploded in popularity since its creation in 1998, when a rabbi started this event in a Los Angeles coffee shop as a way for busy adults to meet many potential partners in a short period of time. Though the effectiveness of speed dating for finding long-term mates is questionable, it does present us with an interesting opportunity in today’s fast-paced world.

Something to Think About…

We might wonder how exposure to so many potential partners, whether good or bad, might change how we perceive individuals as the night progresses. Similar to the “beer goggle effect,” where, the more alcohol we drink, the more likely we are to view people as attractive, is it possible that we become less picky or rate individuals as more attractive as the night goes on? Could fear of not finding a match at the end of the night make us judge those we meet as more attractive than we normally would?

Our Research Question

These questions prompt us to develop a research study that examines the relationship between gender, time, and attractiveness. But first, you will need a framework to help you explore this topic. Research studies all start with a question, so here is your chance to ask one of your own.

Having decided that your research question requires a comparison between groups, you must determine the best comparison to make. However, keep in mind that there are multiple comparisons to be made: between genders and times of rating.

In this study, participants can only be in 1 of the 2 groups for gender; they are either male or female. Thus, gender is a between-subjects variable.

  • Between-subjects Design

However, time of rating is being measured as how the participants’ ratings change over time. This means each participant gives 3 ratings, early, midway, and late in the speed-dating event. Time of rating is a within-subjects variable.

  • Within-subjects Design

You have developed an experiment with 2 independent variables (gender and time of rating) and 1 dependent variable (perceived attractiveness). Because we have 1 between-subjects variable (gender) and 1 within-subjects variable (time of rating), we have a mixed design.

Operationally Defining the Independent Variables

Next, we need to operationally define our independent variables. The first independent variable (IV), gender, is simply the gender of the participant, with the 2 groups being males and females. We will operationally define the second independent variable (IV), time of rating, by determining exactly how we will manipulate it. As we do, we’ll want to be sure our study has a high level of experimental and mundane realism.

Operationally Defining the Independent Variables

The task that is highest in experimental and mundane realism is participants rating the level of attractiveness of individuals they have been exposed to up to certain points early, midway, and late in the speed-dating event. Since we have 1 between-subjects variable (gender) and 1 within-subjects variable (time of rating), we will be measuring males at each of the 3 times and females at each of the 3 times.

Operationally Defining the Independent Variables

We have decided to compare individuals early, midway, and late in a speed-dating event. Since these events typically last about 2 hours, we will use this length for our study. Each participant will meet with a potential date for 5 minutes before rotating to the next person. At the times of the ratings, we will ask participants to rate the perceived attractiveness of the dates they have met thus far. However, before proceeding, we need to clarify exactly when the ratings will occur.

Operationally Defining the Independent Variables

The following table illustrates the 6 combinations in our 2 x 3 mixed design, where each person will be assigned to 1 of the gender conditions and all 3 of the time of rating conditions:

  • A: Males + Early

  • B: Males + Middle

  • C: Males + Late

  • D: Females + Early

  • E: Females + Middle

  • F: Females + Late

Operationally Defining the Dependent Variable

You have now established the key comparisons between the various conditions created by the 2 independent variables. Next, we need to specify the exact nature of our dependent variable, perceived attractiveness. First, consider the following:

Choosing the Best Measure

We know we want to use a self-report measure to measure perceived attractiveness. Now it is time to determine which type of self-report measure to use. Keep in mind how many and what types of questions, reliability, validity, and sensitivity would be appropriate for our study.

  • Reliability

  • Validity

  • Sensitivity

Determining Your Hypotheses

Jesse Kunerth/iStock/Getty Images

Now that you have determined what you will manipulate and measure, you must formulate an experimental hypothesis. Because we have multiple independent variables, we will also need multiple hypotheses: main effect hypotheses and interaction effect hypotheses.

  • Main Effect Hypothesis

  • Interaction Effect Hypothesis

Submitting to the IRB

wk1003mike/Shutterstock

Now that you have determined how you will collect your data and your intended sample, you must submit your research procedure to the Institutional Review Board (IRB) for ethical approval. The IRB or ethics board will determine whether or not your study meets all ethical guidelines.

  • IRB

Each IRB has its own protocol which conforms to the national standard when a researcher submits an application for proposed research to be reviewed. In addition to the appropriate paperwork and other information submitted to the IRB, the board would consider the following description during their evaluation of your proposed experiment:

  • The purpose of this research is to determine whether there is an interaction effect of gender (males or females) and time of rating (early, middle, or late) on perceived attractiveness. To study this topic, participants who are registered for a local speed-dating event will be told upon arrival that a study is being conducted on the attractiveness of individuals who participate in speed-dating events. Participants will be asked to rate the attractiveness of the daters they have met thus far 15 minutes after the event starts (early), 1 hour after (middle), and at the end of the 2-hour event (late). Participants will be debriefed at the end of the event regarding the true nature of the study.

Responding to the IRB

wk1003mike/Shutterstock

The IRB reviewed your submission and has 1 concern. Although the study appears to present less than minimal risk to participants, there is no mention of informed consent and voluntary participation.

You must now determine how to respond to the IRB, keeping in mind the ethics of respect for persons and autonomy.

C.
D.
E.
F.
Participants rate the attractiveness of others 15 minutes after the event starts.

Collecting Data

Image Source/Photodisc/Getty Images

Now that you have a sense of how to conduct this study, it is time to see what data from this study might look like.

If you were to run a full version of this study, you would want to have at least 30 participants in each between-subjects group (males and females). Because you have a within-subjects design, each participant will be exposed to all levels of the time of rating independent variable. Thus, we need 60 participants for our study.

Example Data Set

This is an example of what your data set would look like. The top row shows the variable names; the other rows display the data for 10 participants.

In the “Gender” column, a 1 = Male, and a 2 = Female. The ratings of attractiveness recorded after 15 minutes into the speed-dating event are located under “Early,” after 1 hour under “Middle,” and after 2 hours under “Late.” Ratings range from 1 (very unattractive) to 10 (highly attractive).

Participant Number Gender Early Middle Late
101 1 6 5 7

Tutorial: Evaluating Output

chapter_12_table_activity

The following is an example of output for another mixed design ANOVA where participants experienced only multiple conditions. This study was about how hours slept at night (6 hours, 8 hours, and 10 hours) and gender (male or female) influence self-reported happiness. In this study, we recorded happiness after each night of sleep for each participant; thus, hours slept is a within-subjects variable and gender is a between-subjects variable.

This is the df or degrees of freedom. An ANOVA has 3 dfs, 1 for the within-subjects main effect, 1 for the between-subjects main effect, and 1 for the interaction main effect.

These are the F F statistics, 1 for each main effect and 1 for the interaction. It represents the size of the difference between condition means compared to the size of the residual error.

This is the p level, or the significance level. It represents the probability or likelihood that the results happened by chance. The lower the p level, the less likely the results happened by chance.

The F and p level will only tell you whether there is a significant difference. To determine which means are different, and the nature or direction of those differences, you need to look at the means via a post-hoc test when you are comparing more than 2 means.

Since there are only 2 levels for gender, we do not need to conduct a post-hoc test for this effect.

The eta squared (eta2 ) is the effect size. It tells us the proportion of change in the dependent variable that is associated with being in the different groups of the independent variable or the interaction of the independent variables.

b. Adjustment for multiple comparisons: Bonferroni.

The results presented here are from the post-hoc test, which compares each of the groups’ means to all of the other groups’ means.

This is the difference between the mean happiness rating for the 6 hours of sleep and 8 hours of sleep conditions.

This is the difference between the mean happiness rating for the 6 hours of sleep and 10 hours of sleep conditions.

This is the difference between the mean happiness rating for the 8 hours of sleep and 10 hours of sleep conditions.

Happiness was different in the 8 hours sleep condition than in the 6 hours and 10 hours sleep conditions, which had similar ratings.

The post-hoc test tells us which comparisons between the means were significant. The p level tells us the significance level of that comparison.

This is the average or mean (M) happiness rating for males.

This is the standard error (SE) of happiness rating for males.

This is the average or mean (M) happiness rating for females.

This is the standard error (SE) of happiness rating for females.

In this case, the means tell us that happiness ratings were higher for females than males. The results from the ANOVA support this finding that females had higher happiness ratings overall.

This is the average or mean (M) happiness rating after 6 hours of sleep.

This is the standard deviation (SD) of happiness rating after 6 hours of sleep.

This is the average or mean (M) happiness rating after 8 hours of sleep.

This is the standard deviation (SD) of happiness rating after 8 hours of sleep.

This is the average or mean (M) happiness rating after 10 hours of sleep.

This is the standard deviation (SD) of happiness rating after 10 hours of sleep.

In this case, the means tell us that happiness ratings were highest after 8 hours of sleep. The results from the post-hoc test support the finding that happiness ratings were similar for 6 and 10 hours of sleep but increased significantly for 8 hours of sleep.

Happiness

Hours of Sleep

This graph shows us that females had higher happiness ratings, regardless of the amount of sleep, than males. Also, the same pattern was observed in higher happiness after 8 hours of sleep and lower happiness after both 6 hours and 10 hours of sleep, regardless of gender. However, there was no interaction between gender and hours of sleep, as the pattern was consistent across levels of each variable.
