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.
Factorial Design
An experimental design that has more than one independent variable.
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.

Factorial Design

This activity will allow you to create a design to test the combined effect of 2 variables—the type of crimes and the race of the suspects—on racial prejudices.

Something to Think About...

Scenario: Although progress has been made since the 1960s Civil Rights Movement, racism still exists in today’s society, often in ways that are not easily recognizable. Racial prejudice affects all of us and is influenced by a combination of learned experiences, environment, parenting, and more. No single event is responsible for creating our racial prejudice; rather, prejudice is the result of multiple factors.

Something to Think About…

Racial prejudices are evident in a wide variety of settings, including in the context of how we view those who have committed crimes. Is it possible that we judge African Americans differently than European Americans in these situations? Do our views make us more likely to believe that punishment for certain types of people should be harsher? Does the type of crime committed—such as a “white-collar” crime like embezzlement vs. a “blue-collar” crime like robbery—also contribute to our beliefs?

Our Research Question

With these questions in mind, we will develop a research study that examines types of crimes, races of suspects, and racial prejudice. 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, there are multiple comparisons to be made: between types of crime and races of suspects.

Operationally Defining the Independent Variables

Next, we need to operationally define the first independent variable (IV), type of crime, 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

Now we need to operationally define the second independent variable (IV), race of suspect, 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.

  • Experimental Realism

  • Mundane Realism

Operationally Defining the Independent Variables

Of the options you explored, the task that is highest in experimental and mundane realism involves reading a local news event about a specific crime (embezzlement or robbery) involving $5,000, with the race of the suspect (European-American or African-American) identified. Because participants may figure out the intention of our study if they are exposed to multiple news stories, each participant will only be exposed to 1 condition, or combination, of our independent variables.

Operationally Defining the Independent Variables

The following table illustrates the 4 combinations in our 2 x 2 factorial design, where each person will be assigned to 1 of these conditions:

  • A: Embezzlement + European-American
  • B: Embezzlement + African-American
  • C: Robbery + European-American
  • D: Robbery + African-American
Summary of Our Factorial Study
Race of Suspect
European-American African-American
Type of Crime Embezzlement A B
Robbery C D

Operationally Defining the Dependent Variable

You have now established the key comparisons between the 4 groups as variations of the type of crime and race of the suspect. Next, we need to specify the exact nature of our dependent variable, racial prejudice. First, consider the following:

Choosing the Best Measure

We know we want to use a behavioral measure to measure racial prejudice. Now it is time to determine which type of behavioral 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

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.

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 that 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 type of crime (embezzlement or robbery) and race of suspect (European-American or African-American) on racial prejudice. To study this topic, invitations to participate will be mailed to a random sampling of adults in the city. Participants will be told that the study is about current news events and offered $10 for their participation. Those who volunteer will provide informed consent before being randomly assigned to 1 of 4 conditions: Embezzlement + European-American, Embezzlement + African-American, Robbery + European-American, or Robbery + African-American. So that we may measure their racial prejudice, participants will read a news event based on the condition to which they are assigned and then determine the number of years in prison the suspect should receive.

Responding to the IRB

wk1003mike/Shutterstock

The IRB reviewed your submission and has 1 concern. The study involves deception, which carries the potential risk of temporary psychological distress based on whether a participant’s racial prejudice via the prison sentence they provide matches what they believe about themselves.

You must now determine how to respond to the IRB, keeping in mind the ethics of deception.

Collecting Data

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 of your 4 groups, for a total of 120 participants. Because you are using a between-subjects design, each participant will only be in 1 group.

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 the first 5 participants in each crime condition.

In the “Crime” column, a 1 = Embezzlement, and a 2 = Robbery. In the “Race” column, a 1 = European-American, and a 2 = African-American. The number of years in prison was recorded under Years, with possible scores ranging from 0 to 15 years.

The following is an example of output for another two-way ANOVA where participants experienced only 1 condition in the study. This study was about how number of hours of television per night (1 hour or 4 hours) for a week and gender (male or female) influence self-reported happiness.

a. R Squared = .758 (Adjusted R Squared = .752)

This is the df or degrees of freedom. This ANOVA has 4 dfs, one for each between-subjects main effect, and one for the interaction main effect.

These are the F statistics, one for each main effect and one 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 result happened by chance.

The F score 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 TV and gender, we do not need to conduct a post-hoc test for these effects.

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.

This graph shows us that females had higher happiness ratings when only 1 hour of TV was watched, but this difference went away when they were exposed to 4 hours of TV. Also, both males and females had lower ratings of happiness after 4 hours of TV than 1 hour of TV. There was an interaction between gender and hours of TV as the happiness ratings differed based on these variables.
