Question

1. You are studying male dominance and how it is influenced by the effect of facial hair, the effect of clothing type, and the effect of facial expression.

What are IV A, IV B, and IV C?

2. You are studying male dominance and how it is influenced by the effect of facial hair, the effect of clothing type, and the effect of facial expression.

What will be the levels of each (IV A, IV B, IV C)?

3. You are studying male dominance and how it is influenced by the effect of facial hair, the effect of clothing type, and the effect of facial expression.

What is the DV and how will you measure it?

4. You are studying male dominance and how it is influenced by the effect of facial hair, the effect of clothing type, and the effect of facial expression.

What type of factorial design is this (think 2x2, 2x3, 3x3, 2x3x3, etc.)?

5. You are studying male dominance and how it is influenced by the effect of facial hair, the effect of clothing type, and the effect of facial expression.

How many conditions are there?

Answer 1

1. IV A = Facial hair. IV B = Clothing type. IV C = Facial expression.

2. IV A (Facial hair) = No hair, Mustache, Beard.  IV B (Clothing type) = Formal, Semi-Formal, Informal. IV C (Facial expression) = Macoexpressions, Microexpressions and Subtle expressions.

3. The DV is male dominance.

4. This is a 3x3 factorial design because we have three independent variables with three levels each.

5. The total number of conditions in the experiment would be expressed as 3^3 = 27.
