II. Analyzing the results from a 2 x 2 experiment
A. What degrees of freedom tell youB. What F and p values tell you
C. What main effects tell you
D. What interactions usually tell you
III. Putting the 2 x 2 to work
A. Adding a replication factor to increasegeneralizability
B. Using an interaction to find an exception to the rule: Looking at a potential moderating factor
C. Using interactions to find new rules
D. Conclusions about putting the 2 X 2 Factorial Experiment to Work
III. Hybrid designs: Factorial designs that allow you to study non-experimental variables
A. Hybrid design's key limitation: Can't make causal inferences about non-manipulated variable
