Document Summary

Between-subjects factorial design - a factorial design in which each subject engages in only one condition. Factorial design - includes two or more independent variables and crosses (i. e. , combines) every level of each independent variable with every level of all the other independent variables. Interaction (interaction effect) - occurs when the way in which an independent variable influences behavior differs, depending on the level of another independent variable. Main effect - occurs when an independent variable has an overall effect on a dependent variable. Mixed-factorial design - factorial design that includes at least one between-subjects variable and at least one within-subjects variable. Person x situation (person x environment) factorial design - an experimental design that incorporates at least one subject variable along with at least one manipulated situational variable. Simple main effect - represents the effect of one independent variable at a particular level of another independent variable.
