Simple Experiments
• Simple experiments have only a single independent variable with multiple levels.
• In simple experiments, participants are chosen independently. So participants in one group are unrelated to those in other groups.
![Page 3: Simple Experiments](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062422/5681308e550346895d966c64/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
To calculate the F test, the test use to test H0 in the analysis of variance:
We are going to look at two different ways of calculating mean squares to estimate the population variance and then compare the mean squares.
One way is based on the difference between each score and its group mean. This estimate of sigma2 is called MSW and it is familiar.
The other way is based on the difference between the group and overall means: called MSB, it is new.
![Page 4: Simple Experiments](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062422/5681308e550346895d966c64/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Mean square within groups• Since everyone in a group is treated the same
way, differences between scores and their own group mean can only reflect random individual differences and random measurement problems.
• This is the mean square within groups (MSW) and it is always a good estimate of sigma2, the population variance.
• MSW can index only individual differences and measurement problems (ID + MP).
![Page 5: Simple Experiments](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062422/5681308e550346895d966c64/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Mean square between groups
• Differences between each group’s mean and the overall mean can reflect the effects of the independent variable (as well as the effects of random individual differences and random measurement problems).
• Thus MSB = ID + MP + (?)IV
• This is the mean square between groups (MSB). If the independent variable pushes the group means apart, MSB will overestimate sigma2 and be larger than MSW.
![Page 6: Simple Experiments](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062422/5681308e550346895d966c64/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Testing the Null Hypothesis (H0)
• H0 says that the groups differ from each other and from the overall mean only because of random individual differences and measurement problems.
• These are the same things that make scores differ from their own group means.
• So, according to H0, MSB and MSW are two ways of measuring the same thing (ID + MP).
• Two measurements of the same thing should be about equal to each other and a ratio between them should be about equal to 1.00.
• We could establish a 95% confidence interval around 1.00 for each pair of degrees of freedom.
• The F table does it for us, showing us the value of F just outside the 95% confidence interval

The Experimental Hypothesis (H1)
• The experimental hypothesis says that the groups’ means will be made different from each other (pushed apart) by the IV, the independent variable (as well as by random individual differences and measurement problems).
• If the means are pushed apart, MSB will increase, reflecting the effects of the independent variable (as well as of the random factors). MSW will not
• So MSB will be larger than MSW
• Therefore, H1 suggests that a ratio comparing MSB to MSW should be larger than 1.00.

An experiment• Population: Depressed patients in a psychiatric hospital
• Number of participants: 9 • Number of groups: 3• Design: Single factor, unrelated groups.
• Independent variable: Type of treatment– Level 1: Medication– Level 2: Psychotherapy– Level 3: ECT
• Dependent variable: HAM-D scores. (Lower = better.)
• H0: Treatments do not differ in effectiveness.
• H1: Treatments differ in effectiveness.

The F Table• F table tells us whether the F ratio is significant. • The null hypothesis predicts an F of about 1.00.• We establish a 95% confidence interval around 1.00. • We only pay attention to the high end of the
distribution.• Any F ratio smaller than the critical value at p<.05 is
in the confidence interval around 1.00.• F ratios smaller than the critical value are therefore
consistent with the null hypothesis (no differences that can’t be explained as simply sampling fluctuation)

Statistical Significance
• p<.05 means that we have found an F ratio that occurs with 5 or fewer samples in 100 when the null is true.The null predicts that we will find an F ratio close to 1.00, not an unusually large F ratio.
• If we find a larger F ratio than the null predicts, we have shown H0 to predict badly and reject it.
• Results are statistically significant when you equal or exceed the critical value of F at p<.05 .
• If your F ratio equals or exceeds the critical value at p<.01, you get to brag.

In an experiment with 3 treatment groups, we have 2 df between groups (k-1).
If we have 9 subjects, and 3 groups, we have 6df within groups (n-k) . Since this is the ratio of MSB to
MSW, the variance estimate between groups must be 5.14 times larger than the variance estimate within groups.
5.14
If we find an F ratio of 5.14 or larger, we reject the null hypothesis and declare that there is a treatment
effect, significant at the .05 alpha level.

2.79 is smaler than the criticalvalue at the .05 alpha level (5.14). So it is not statistically significant.
F (2,6)=2.79, n.s.

Notice the usual effect of consistency
The more dfB and dfW, ...
the better our estimates of sigma2, ...
the closer F should be to 1.00 when the null is true.
H0 says that F should be about 1.00.

Relationship between t and F tables
• Because there is always 1 df between groups, the t table is organized only by degrees of freedom within group (dfW).
• By the way, the values in the t table are the square root of the values in the first column of the F table.

The point is . . .
• It all fits together!
• The F table is related to the t table; The t table approaches the z table.
• Degrees of freedom!
• Alpha levels!
• Significance!

Pre-existing differences among participants always provide alternative
explanations• Correlational research is based on the
comparison of pre-existing differences.• SCIENTIFICALLY, IT IS ALWAYS
POSSIBLE THAT ONE OF THE MYRIAD PRE-EXISTING DIFFERENCES (OR COMBINATION OF DIFFERENCES) IS THE REASON(S) UNDERLYING A CORRELATION BETWEEN 2 VARIABLES
![Page 33: Simple Experiments](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062422/5681308e550346895d966c64/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Therefore:• WE CAN NOT ELIMINATE THE POSSIBILITY
THAT OTHER, UNMEASURED DIFFERENCES AMONG PARTICIPANTS ARE CAUSING THE RELATIONSHIP YOU FOUND BETWEEN THE VARIABLES IN A CORRELATIONAL STUDY.
• THEREFORE, YOU CAN’T KNOW THAT ONE OF THE TWO VARIABLES YOU HAPPENED TO STUDY IS THE FACTOR CAUSING CHANGES IN THE OTHER - NO MATTER HOW PLAUSIBLE AN EXPLANATION IT SEEMS.
• THEREFORE, YOU CAN’T SAY HOW TO EFFECT CHANGE AT ALL BASED ON CORRELATIONAL RESEARCH
![Page 34: Simple Experiments](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062422/5681308e550346895d966c64/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
At the start of an experiment• Participants are randomly selected from the
population and randomly assigned to different experimental groups.
• Since the groups are randomly selected, we assume that each is representative of the population. That is, in each case the sample mean should be close to the population mean. Same for the variance. So the means and variances of all the samples should be similar on all pre-existing differences.
• HENCE, THERE ARE NO PRE-EXISTING DIFFERENCES AMONG THE GROUPS: THE GROUPS ARE THE SAME, NOT DIFFERENT
![Page 35: Simple Experiments](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062422/5681308e550346895d966c64/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Another experiment: two groups• Population: Moderately depressed psychiatric
inpatients• Number of participants (8) and groups (2)• Design: Single factor, unrelated groups• Independent variable: Type of treatment
– Level 1: Cognitive Behavior Therapy + Medication– Level 2: Electroconvulsive Shock Therapy
• Dependent variable: Hamilton Rating Scale for depression (HAM-D) scores. Lower = less depressed
• H0: Treatment do not differ in effectiveness.
• H1:. Treatment do not differ in effectiveness.

This time it’s significant: the med/psychotherapy group did
better than the ECT group!
• t(6)=2.83, p<.05
• You read that as “t with 6 degrees of freedom equals 2.83. p is less than .05.
• That means that there are 5 or fewer chances in 100 of getting a t ratio this big when the null is true.
