The owners of the Syfy channel are interested in whether watching the Syfy channel causes people to become "geeky," and whether any such effects depend on a person's gender.They hire a researcher to design and carry out the appropriate study.The researcher randomly assigns an equal number of men and women to watch 0, 3, 5, or 9 hours of the Syfy channel each week for 6 weeks.How many cells does this study have?


A) 2
B) 4
C) 6
D) 8

A researcher is examining the relation between patrol location (more affluent vs.less affluent neighborhoods) and amount of training (5 weeks, 10 weeks, or 15 weeks) to police job performance in a small town.The researcher finds a significant interaction in that the strength of the effect of training varies depending on patrol location; however, the direction of the effect does not change.This type of effect is a:


A) quantitative interaction.
B) qualitative interaction.
C) main effect.
D) marginal means.

Roediger and Karpicke (2006) investigated whether the test-enhanced learning effect (the demonstration that repeated testing improves memory for material) was due merely to repeated exposure to material.They randomly assigned participants to one of two study conditions (study-study or study-test) and to one of three retention interval conditions (final test at a delay of 5 minutes, 2 days, or 1 week) .The dependent variable was the proportion of idea units recalled from an encyclopedia passage.How should the analysis of these data be labeled?


A) 4 × 2 between-groups ANOVA
B) 2 × 3 within-groups ANOVA
C) 2 × 3 between-groups ANOVA
D) 2 × 2 within-groups ANOVA

Overall, rats that received a drug took longer to find their way out of a maze than rats that received a placebo, F (1, 57) = 7.23, p < 0.05; the drug had a large effect on albino rats and virtually no effect on wild-bred rats, F (1, 57) = 11.01, p < 0.05.However, there was no overall difference in the time of albino rats compared to that of wild-bred rats, F (1, 57) = 1.11, p > 0.10.Which effect(s) must be present for these results to be true?


A) main effect of drug
B) main effect of rat species
C) interaction of drug and rat species
D) main effect of drug and an interaction of drug and rat species
