3. For example… Does class level influence amount of study time? Do gender and education level interact in determining one’s susceptibility to sexual harassment? How do gender and marital status contribute to one’s level of anxiety? Which of three therapeutic methods are most effective at battling depression?

5. Basic terminology Factor An independent variable (or grouping variable) Level A particular value that a factor can possess Group mean The mean value of the DV across observations within a particular level of an IV Class Grand mean The mean value of the DV across observations in the experiment as a whole Freshman Sophomore Junior Senior

11. Decomposing variance “ Natural variability” “ Variability across group means” The essence of an ANOVA is to determine how the variability across group means (treatment effect) relates to the natural variability (or error in measurement). Specifically, we want to know the relative amount of total variability that is attributable to each of these sources. F =
12. F = 1 Variability due to groups = Natural variability Decomposing variance F > 1 Variability due to groups > Natural variability F > 1 Variability due to groups > Natural variability
16. One-way ANOVA: Examples H 1 : Amount of study time varies by class level μ freshman , μ sophomore , μ junior , μ senior are not all equal H 0 : Amount of study time does not vary by class level μ freshman = μ sophomore = μ junior = μ senior H 1 : Three therapeutic methods have differing degrees of effectiveness in treating depression μ cognitive , μ psychodynamic , μ biomedical , are not all equal H 0 : Three therapeutic methods have the same degree of effectiveness in treating depression μ cognitive = μ psychodynamic = μ biomedical
