1.    2.  A researcher studied the influence of intensity of room illumination (low, medium, and high) on reading speed among fifth graders. Also, children were classified as "good" or "poor" readers from achievement test scores. Each group of children read 700 word passages under all three levels of illumination (three reading trials). The order of trials for each child was randomly determined.

1. Identify the design (e.g., 2 X 2 factorial).

2. Identify the total number of conditions.

3. Identify the independent variable(s) and levels (this could include PVs).

4. Is this an IV X PV design? If so, identify the participant variable(s).

5. Is this a repeated measures (within subject) design? If so, identify the repeated variable(s). And/Or

6. Identify the dependent variable(s).

Analysis of Variance also known as ANOVA is a statistical method used to find the significant difference between one or more than one variables. ANOVA is of two types; one way ANOVA and two way ANOVA. Analysis of variance is also known as f-test. It is used when one variable is manipulated in more than two ways. In the above example, the experimenter is trying to understand the influence of intensity of room illumination (low, medium, and high) on reading speed among fifth graders. Intensity of room illumination is the independent variable which in this case is manipulated in three ways to see its effect on students (fifth graders).

The experimental design used above is the correlation method. Correlation is a cause and effect method which is used to understand the effect of independent variable on the dependent variable. The researcher in the above study wants to understand the effect of intensity of room illumination (independent variable) on reading speed among fifth graders. The combined group of children classified as 'poor' and 'good' (fifth graders) are the dependent variable.

There are three different conditions; low, medium and high. The above study is a within subject design. It is a within subject design because each group of children read 700 word passages under all three levels of illumination.

A researcher is interested in determining whether the illumination level in a room affects how quickly clients can be put into a trance. The time (in seconds) it took for five clients to go into a trance when it was done in a room that was lit with low light was measured, as was the time it took for the same clients to go into a trance in a brightly lit room. The theory being tested does not predict which...

4. Assume that the Graduation Rate is classified into 3 categories (Low, Medium, High) in the following way: Low is considered to be a rate that is less than 0.66, Medium is between 0.66 and less than 0.80, and High is at least 0.80. Assume that the Student-to-Faculty ratio is also classified into 3 categories: Category 1: Up to 10 student-to-faculty ratio, Category 2: between 11 and 18 student-to-faculty ratio Category 3: greater than 18 student-to-faculty ratio The following contingency...
