A factorial research design can be one of __________ types. Selected Answer: three • Question 2 2 out of 2 points A recent study by Dommeyer (2008) examined what factors influence whether or not people respond to a mail survey. In other words, are there factors that can influence if a person responds to a survey that he or she received in the mail? Dommeyer wanted to know if the attractiveness of the researcher (attractive and not attractive) in a cover letter would influence if people responded to the mail survey. Dommeyer also wanted to know if the sex of the researcher (male or female) in the cover letter would influence if people responded to the mail survey. So, participants viewed 1 of 4 mail surveys. The second independent variable of attractiveness of the researcher was a __________ variable. • Question 3 2 out of 2 points A recent study by Dommeyer (2008) examined what factors influence whether or not people respond to a mail survey. In other words, are there factors that can influence if a person responds to a survey that he or she received in the mail? Dommeyer wanted to know if the attractiveness of the researcher (attractive and not attractive) in a cover letter would influence if people responded to the mail survey. Dommeyer also wanted to know if the sex of the researcher (male or female) in the cover letter would influence if people responded to the mail survey. So, participants viewed 1 of 4 mail surveys. The second independent variable of sex of researcher was a __________ variable. • Question 4 2 out of 2 points A researcher has created a factorial research design. She has two between subjects variables. What type of design does the researcher have? Selected Answer: between subjects factorial • Question 5 2 out of 2 points In the standard form __________ X __________, what goes in the first blank? • Question 6 2 out of 2 points Researchers Brescoll and Uhlmann (2008) wanted to know if men and women were judged the same for expressing similar emotions in the workplace. Participants in this experiment watched a video of a job candidate. The job candidates were being interviewed while sitting at a table. The job candidates were describing an incident in which they and a colleague lost an important account and how it made them feel. The first independent variable was sex of job candidate. Sex had two levels: male and female. The second independent variable was emotion displayed. Emotion displayed had two levels: anger and sadness. So, participants viewed one of four job candidates. In this study, the second independent variable of emotions displayed was a __________ subjects variable. • Question 7 2 out of 2 points A recent study by Dommeyer (2008) examined what factors influence whether or not people respond to a mail survey. In other words, are there factors that can influence if a person responds to a survey that he or she received in the mail? Dommeyer wanted to know if the attractiveness of the researcher (attractive and not attractive) in a cover letter would influence if people responded to the mail survey. Dommeyer also wanted to know if the sex of the researcher (male or female) in the cover letter would influence if people responded to the mail survey. This quasi-experiment would be referred to as a _____ X ______ research design. • Question 8 2 out of 2 points Researchers Brescoll and Uhlmann (2008) wanted to know if men and women were judged the same for expressing similar emotions in the workplace. Participants in this experiment watched a video of a job candidate. The job candidates were being interviewed while sitting at a table. The job candidates were describing an incident in which they and a colleague lost an important account and how it made them feel. The first independent variable was sex of job candidate. Sex had two levels: male and female. The second independent variable was emotion displayed. Emotion displayed had two levels: anger and sadness. So, participants viewed one of four job candidates. With this information, what type of factorial research design was used? • Question 9 2 out of 2 points You are reading a journal article and the method section states that the design was a 4 X 3 between subjects factorial design. Automatically, you know that the study will have _______ conditions. • Question 10 2 out of 2 points A recent study by Dommeyer (2008) examined what factors influence whether or not people respond to a mail survey. In other words, are there factors that can influence if a person responds to a survey that he or she received in the mail? Dommeyer wanted to know if the attractiveness of the researcher (attractive and not attractive) in a cover letter would influence if people responded to the mail survey. Dommeyer also wanted to know if the sex of the researcher (male or female) in the cover letter would influence if people responded to the mail survey. The second independent variable (or subject variable in this case) was sex of the researcher in the cover letter. It had _____ levels. • Question 11 2 out of 2 points In the standard form __________ X __________, what goes in the second blank? • Question 12 2 out of 2 points A __________ subjects factorial research design is a research design in which all independent variables are within subjects.
