Question 3

Correct Answer:

Verified

Answers vary.
Answer should include similar statements.
-Factorial design: an experiment or quasi-experiment that includes more than one independent variable.
-The primary advantages of a factorial design over simpler experiments are that a researcher can be more efficient in testing the effects of multiple independent variables in one experiment and can also examine the effects of the interactions of those independent variables on the dependent variable. Thus, many experiments conducted by psychologists are factorial designs.
