Exam 12: A: Mixed Design: Which Therapy Is Best for Treating Eating Disorders
What is a mixed design analysis of variance and what information is provided by running such an analysis?
A mixed ANOVA tests for differences between two or more independent variables,when one is a between-subjects variable and another is a within-subjects variable.A mixed ANOVA will simultaneously test all predictions/hypotheses by testing for a main effect for each independent variable and the interaction effect between the variables.A mixed design is a combination of a repeated measures ANOVA and a factorial ANOVA.A mixed ANOVA provide an F score,a significance level,and an effect size.The analysis also provides the within-subjects and between-subjects degrees of freedom.
Describe an A-B design and provide an example of such a design.
An A-B design is a single-subject design in which researchers take a baseline measurement and then introduce the intervention and measure the same variable again.An example of an A-B design would be testing a behavioral treatment for autism spectrum disorder.The A would be the baseline measurement for sensory sensitivity,and B would be the implementation of a sensory facilitation intervention.Then the child's sensory sensitivity would be measured again to determine if the intervention had any effect.
Compare and contrast between-subjects and within-subjects designs.
Between-subjects design randomly assigns participants only on one level of treatment;whereas,within-subjects designs randomly assign participants to a sequence of treatments and expose the participants to all levels of treatment.The main concern for between-subjects designs is with regard to power and for within-subjects designs it is internal and extern validity.The biggest strength for between-subjects designs is internal and external validity and for within-subjects design the biggest strength is power.
Describe the purpose of a meta-analysis and provide one example of a meta-analysis.
What is the experimenter-expectancy effect and how can it be mitigated?
