Main effect

Factorial combinations involve pairing each level of one independent variable with each level of a second independent variable. Factorial combinations make it possible to determine the effect of each independent variable alone (main effect) and the effect of the independent variables in combination (interaction effect). The simplest possible experiment involves one independent variable manipulated at two levels. Similarly, the simplest possible factorial design involves two independent variables

the effects of sex, willingness, ability on four forms of attractiveness. Sex had significant main effects on all four forms of attractiveness (as a short-term partner, F_(1,694) = 118.80, p < .001; as a long-term partner, F_(1,694) = 40.39, p < .001; an opposite-sex friend, F_(1,694) = 32.67, p < .001; as a friend to other opposite-sex people, F_(1,694) = 33.33, p < .001). Male participants gave significantly higher ratings for all kinds of attractiveness of a female date. There were main effects

Inbreeding Depression Inbreeding depression is a widely-studied topic in the fields of not only genetics, but as well as the fields of biology, ecology, etc. Directly speaking, inbreeding depression results in the loss or reduced expression of a trait due to the mating between two closely related organisms (Hartl 547). As of today, there are a plethora of studies and evidence that explain how and why inbreeding occurs within populations even though it is deleterious for the populations. However,

The Effects of LOP on Implicit and Explicit Memory The importance of memory is very high in comparison to the content of the memory. We use memory to recall information such as where you park your car upon arrival at the mall, the time and channel a particular news special is to be aired, or the types of drugs to which your child may be allergic. The former two are processed very shallowly. The information may be needed today but two weeks later, it is not important and most likely not remembered

1. What are the independent variables in this study? What are the dependent variables? ANSWER: The independent variables in this study is treatment & gender. The dependent variables in this study are worry & emotion. 2. Why is a factorial MANOVA appropriate to use for this research design? ANSWER: A factorial MANOVA is appropriate to use for this research design because there is more than one independent variable, each independent variable is discrete variables. The study has more than one dependent

behaviour. We analyzed data for main effects of both BJW and victim type on outcome variables perpetrator sentencing and victim monetary compensation. Data was further analyzed for possible interaction effects between BJW and victim type using multiple regression analysis, retaining the continuous characteristic of the BJW predictor variable. Results revealed no significant interaction effects or main effect of BJW on either dependent variable, however, a significant main effect of victim type was observed

Attention is a mechanism directly involved in the selection, distribution and maintenance of processing resources, which determines our ability to process complex and multiple stimuli from our environment and is crucial to our success and survival. Given the large magnitude of visual information we encounter every day, the existence of a selective mechanism –at a conscious and unconscious level- that regulates what we pay attention to is indisputable; it has even been conceptualized as a supramodal

communication (Apsler & Sears, 1968). But how could forewarning have any effect on a participant’s attitude? It could be that forewarning

2014-2015 (two experiments). 4.1 Frist season of 2013/2014 One experiment was designed to investigate the effect of three plant spacing (20, 30 and 40 cm), three humic acid (HA) rates (control, 1000 and 2000 mg l-1), three boron (B) rates (control, 100 and 200 mg l-1) and their interactions on the vegetative growth and earliness as well as the green pods yield of broad bean crop. The effects of the different factors that used in this study and their interaction on the various characters of broad

The Effects of “Evoking Freedom” Technique on Compliance Social influence and the power of social situations have always been central topics of inquiry for psychologists due to their impact on our everyday lives. Social influence refers to the ways in which people alter their attitudes, emotions, and behaviors of others. Every day, we encounter countless attempts by other people to influence us. Likewise, we try to influence others. Compliance is a kind of social influence in which an individual
