G7 - Goodwin textbook Chapter 7


Exam:
*You are responsible for all information covered in this chapter, except the following. Ignore Figure 7.1 and Table 7.1. I think these actually do more harm than good! Just make sure you understand the four basic design terms (Independent Groups Design, Nonequivalent Groups Design, Repeated-Measures Design, Matched Groups Design) and you should be okay. Also, ignore the "Presenting the Data" section (p. 230-233)

*Factor vs. Level (The author sort of just assumes you'll know these terms without defining them. Factor is a synonym for "independent variable" and Level just means the number of categories present in the independent variable. If a study has three depression treatments (CBT, Mindfulness, and Prozac), the Factor is "depression treatment" and "CBT" is an example of one of the three levels.)
