SAGE 50 FINAL UPDATED Exam Questions
and CORRECT Answers
the simplest possible kind of true experiment is ___
-a one-group design
-a two-groups design
-a one-way design
-a 2 X 2 factorial design - CORRECT ANSWER- a two-groups desig
How many cells (i.e., how many unique experimental conditions) are there in a 2 x 2 x 3
completely between-subjects factorial experiment?
-6
-7
-12
-there is no way to tell without knowing more about the design - CORRECT ANSWER- 12
In the Gilbert et al. (1988) study of causal attribution discussed in the text, the researchers
independently manipulated cognitive load (low vs. high) and discussion topics (anxiety-
provoking vs. relaxing). Thus, the design of this study was ______.
-a one-way, four-groups design
,-a latin square factorial
-a mixed-model design
-a 2x2 factorial design - CORRECT ANSWER- a 2x2 factorial design
In a 2 x 2 factorial study, what is the maximum number of main effects that you could
possibly observe?
-one
-two
-three
-four - CORRECT ANSWER- two
If you overheard a researcher say that "each of the three possible main effects in my study
was significant," you could conclude that the analysis the researcher had conducted was
______.
-a one-way, three-groups anova
-a two-way anova
-a three-way anova
-a planned comparison - CORRECT ANSWER- a three-way anova
Is it possible for a statistical analysis to yield three main effects in a 2 x 2 factorial study?
-no, because there are only two independent variables
-no, because there are only two cells in such a design
-yes, but only if the test for an interaction is significant
-yes, but only if the test for an interaction is not significant - CORRECT ANSWER- no,
because there are only two independent variables
If you plotted the results of a factorial study using lines whose slopes represent mean
differences across different experimental conditions, the presence of a statistical interaction
would show up in the form of ______.
, -lines that are separated by a statistically significant distance
-lines that generally slope upward
-lines that generally slope downward
-nonparallel lines - CORRECT ANSWER- nonparallel lines
Consider the findings of the hypothetical study of plant growth summarized below (and in
your text):
Amount of Sunlight Received
Amount of Water Received Low High Row Means
Low 22.4 25.6 24.0
High 10.8 37.2 24.0
Column Means 16.6 31.4
This study appears to have yielded ______.
-only a main effect of sunlight
-only a main effect of water
-both a main effect of sunlight and a sunlight x water interaction
-both a main effect of water and a sunlight x water interaction - CORRECT ANSWER- both
a main effect of sunlight and a sunlight x water interaction
a disordinal interaction is the same as _______.
-a crossover interaction
-a spreading interaction
