Between-Subjects Factorial Design Overview

This document discusses between-subjects factorial design. It explains that factorial designs study two or more independent variables. Main effects refer to the impact of a single independent variable, while interactions refer to how the effect of one variable changes across levels of another. Between-subjects designs randomly assign different participants to experimental conditions, eliminating carryover effects but requiring more participants. Factorial designs are described using shorthand notation indicating factors, levels, and treatment conditions. Analysis may find significant main effects and/or interactions between factors.
