Two Factor and Quasi Experiments

Many experiments are factorial designs, with more than one independent variable.

Crossing levels creates four or more conditions to consider.

We look at the effects of each level of the IV and ignore the other levels. These are the main effects.

The advantages are that it is more efficient and you get to test interactions to see if one IV’s effects depend on another IV.

We learn about the combined effects of multiple IVs on the DV by testing multiple IVs in factorial designs.

Quasi Experiments

Quasi Experiments are similar to an experiment, but no true IV is manipulated.

A pretext-postest design is where the DV is measured before and after a treatment where other factors could account for the changes.

Time series design, another quasi experiment occurs when the DV is measured over time...and again other factors may account for the changes. Can’t say it is the IV.
