Dr. Raqui computed a two-way factorial analysis of variance with types of aggression (relational or overt) and the type of communication method (email, phone, or in-person) as the independent variables and level of self-esteem as the dependent variable. The relational aggression main effect was significant, F(1, 222) = 4.2, p = .001, eta²= .031. Which of the following would best represent the factorial design? A) 2 × 2 hybrid design B) 2 × 2 mixed design C) 2 × 3 factorial design D) 2 × 3 hybrid design

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The design is a 2 × 3 factorial design because there are two independent variables (types of aggression and type of communication method) each with two and three levels, respectively. A hybrid design involves manipulating at least one independent variable within-subjects and at least one independent variable between-subjects, but there is no indication of within-subjects manipulation in this study. A mixed design involves manipulating at least one independent variable between-subjects and at least one within-subjects, but there is no indication of within-subjects manipulation in this study.
