Choosing the appropriate statistical test for your experiment
Design and Example | Statistical Test | |||||||||||||||||||
1 IV with 2 levels. Between Groups Design Example: IV = Color of paper (Blue vs. White) DV = Test Score
Subjects are given a test on either blue or white paper.
|
Independent Groups t-test
Assignment #4 |
|||||||||||||||||||
1 IV with 2 levels. Repeated Measures (Within Subjects) Design Example: IV = Brand of Cola (Coke vs. Pepsi) DV = Taste rating
Each subjects drinks both colas and rates each.
Note: Counterbalancing is necessary in this design
|
Paired Samples (Within Subjects) t-test
Assignment #5 |
|||||||||||||||||||
1 IV with 3 or more levels. Between Groups Design Example: IV = Color of paper (Blue vs. White vs. Red) DV = Test Score
Subjects are given a test on either blue, white, or red paper.

Independent Samples (Between Groups) ANOVA
Assignment #6 |
|||||||||||||||||||
1 IV with 3 or more levels. Repeated Measures (Within Subjects) Design Example: IV = Brand of Cola (Coke vs. Pepsi vs. Generic) DV = Taste rating
Each subjects drinks each of the three colas and rates each one.
Note: Counterbalancing is necessary in this design

Repeated Measures (Within Subjects) One-Way ANOVA
Assignment #7 |
|||||||||||||||||||
2 IVs Between Groups Factorial Design Example: IV#1 = Pratfall (No Spill vs. Spill on Desk vs. Spill on Shirt) IV#2 = Attractiveness of Candidate (High vs. Low) DV = Impression of Candidate
Each subject sees one video in which a candidate for a teaching position who is either high or low in attractiveness, sips a cup of coffee and either does not spill it, spills it on the desk, or spills it on his shirt.

2-Way Between Groups ANOVA Assignment #11 |
|||||||||||||||||||
2 IVs Mixed Factorial Design Example: IV#1 (Repeated Measures) = Illusion (Necker vs. Goblet/Faces vs. Double/Helix) IV#2 (Between Groups) = Sex of Subject (Male vs. Female) DV = Number of perceived reversals/minute
Subjects are categorized according to sex. Each subject views three bistable illusions, and records the number of reversals seen in each.
Note: Counterbalancing is necessary in this design

2-Way Mixed ANOVA Assignment #12 |
|||||||||||||||||||
2 IVs Fully Repeated Measures Design Example: IV#1 (Repeated Measures) = Illusion (Necker vs. Goblet/Faces vs. Double/Helix) IV#2 (Repeated Measures) = Instructions (Try to see vs. Suppress seeing) DV = Number of perceived reversals/minute
Each subject views three bistable illusions two times (for a total of six viewings): once under instructions to see as many reversals as possible, and once under instructions to suppress seeing reversals.
Note: Counterbalancing is necessary in this design
