<p>Don S. Christensen Intra-American Studies & Social Sciences Psychology 209 Shoreline Community College</p><p>Exam 3 Review Sheet</p><p>Note: This exam will strongly test your ability to apply the following concepts in hypothetical research situations and examples. Thus, while knowing the basic definitions will be important, it won’t be enough to do well on the exam. </p><p>Complex Designs  Complex design  Factorial design  Interpretation of design statements (e.g., how many IVs are there in a 2  4  3 design?)  Mixed design  Reasons for using a complex design (3 were given)  Interaction  Main effect  Simple main effect  Simple comparison  Relevant independent variable (from lecture)  Ceiling and floor effects (from lecture)  Interpretation of main effects and interactions in Figures and Tables  How to examine main effects in designs with 3 independent variables  Number and type of interactions in designs with 3 independent variables</p><p>Quasi-Experimental Designs  Basic vs. applied research  Types of quasi-experimental designs (QEDs) or “patched up designs” (see pp. 225-235)  One group (posttest only) design  One group pretest-posttest design  Posttest-only design with nonequivalent groups  Pretest-posttest design with nonequivalent groups  Time series designs  Simple interrupted time series design  Time series with non-equivalent control group design</p><p> Types of confounds/threats to internal validity in QEDs (See pp. 121-130)  History  Maturation  Testing effects  Instrumentation (from lecture)  Regression to the mean  Experimental mortality/attrition  Hawthorne effect</p><p>Revised: 4/9/2018 Don S.
