Study Background:
You are interested in whether females with a past history of receiving abuse prefer male dating partners
that may be potentially abusive. You decide to assess preferences in dating partners by having female
participants read personal ads and select those individuals they would be interested in getting to know
better. Before you can even begin your study, you need to construct and validate the stimuli to be used in
the study. More specifically, youve decided that you want three types of personal ads to be used as
stimuli for your study!"# ads that describe males with a high potential for engaging in abusive
behaviors, !$# ads that describe males with a moderate potential for engaging in abusive behaviors, and
!%# ads that describe males with a low potential for engaging in abusive behaviors. &n order to develop the
personal ads, you have male participants in another study !'( ""$# describe themselves in the form of a
personal ad. You then have three coders rate these ads on potential for engaging in abusive behaviors.
Based on the three coders ratings, you select ) ads that are high abusive, ) ads that are moderate abusive,
and ) ads that are low abusive. You then want to validate your classification of these ads !before you use
them as stimuli in your study#, and administer these "$ ads to a sample of females !'($)#. 'ote that
these females were blind to the a priori classification of the ads and to the purpose of the study. You are
interested in whether the ratings of the ads is consistent with your classification of the ads. You identify
this as a *B+% design !*andom Block ,esign with three levels# and plan to run a repeated measures
-'./- to e0amine whether the ads you selected as stimuli indeed differ in abusiveness.
'otice that each row represents a sub1ect, and that each sub1ect has three dependent variables. -ll three
variables !psyhigh, psymod, and psynolo# are 2&34&' S5B6783S factors, which means that every
participant was e0posed and asked to rate all three types of personal ads. 'otice that there are no
B73277' S5B6783S factors.
-gain, you are mainly interested in whether the three types of personal ads differ in ratings of potential
for abusiveness. &f they differ in ways that are consistent with your classification, then you can use these
ads in your study assessing females preferences in dating partners.
3he dependent variables are ratings of
potential for abusiveness:
9psyhigh9 refers to ratings of potential
for engaging in abusive behaviors for
personal ads classified a priori as high
abuse.
9psymod9 refers to ratings of potential
for engaging in abusive behaviors for
personal ads classified a priori as
moderate abuse.
9psynolo9 refers to ratings of potential
for engaging in abusive behaviors for
personal ads classified a priori as low
abuse.

4ow do you go about e0amining differences between the ads on ratings of abusiveness;
2ell, for all of these effects, you want to know if they are statistically significant<to go about doing this,
you will run a new command in S=SS:
-'->Y?7 @ A7'7*-> >&'7-* M.,7> @ *7=7-37, M7-S5*7S
Your bo0 plot output should look like this.
&t looks like the three types of ads differ in
mean ratings of Bpotential for
abusivenessC. .f course, the only way to
draw this conclusion is through statistical
tests.
You will get the following dialog bo0:
2hat is your 2ithin+Sub1ect Dactor;
&n this scenario, it is the level of
abusiveness for the personal ads
!high, moderate, or low#.
You can give this factor a name !e.g.,
adEabuse# by replacing Bfactor"C in
the te0tbo0 ne0t to 2ithin+Sub1ect
Dactor 'ame:
You now need to specify the number
of levels for your 2ithin+Sub1ect
Dactor. &n this scenario, there are
three levels. -ds are high, moderate,
or low on potential for abuse.
'ow, click on B-ddC to add the
factor to your model.
Your dialog bo0 should now look
like this:
3he ne0t step is to define the 2ithin+
Sub1ect Dactor. &n order to do this
click on B,efineC.
'ow, you need to identify all the
variables that reflect your 2ithin
Sub1ect Dactor !adEabuse#. You do
this by moving the relevant variables
over to the bo0 under 2ithin+
Sub1ects /ariables.
'otice that in our design, we do not
have any Between Sub1ects Dactors
or 8ovariates, so we can simply
leave these bo0es empty.
You are ready to click on .F, and run the analysis. S=SS will print out the following output:

-gain, we are most interested in the output for 3ests of 2ithin+Sub1ect 7ffects. 2e are
conveniently assuming that the assumption of 4omogeneity .f treatment ,ifference /ariances
!4.3,/#, also referred to as the sphericity assumption, is not violated. 3his simplifies our
task. Aiven that 4.3,/ !sphericity# is not violated, we can see the effect of ad type !our
within+sub1ect factor# on the dependent variable !ratings of abuse# by looking at the F obtained
!circled below in *7,# for -,E-B5S7 when Sphericity is assumed. 2hat can we conclude;
(o1 is F o0tained co-puted .or a R$%p design2 Similar to 8*+p designs, D obtained is the
ratio between the MS for the treatment effect and MS for error. &n our scenario, MS for
treatment effect is G.HG" and MS error is .%%$. 3hus, D obtained ( G.HG" I .%%$ ( $G.$.
*emember that one of the big differences between the two e0perimental designs is the error
ter-. Dor 8*+p designs, the error term !referred to as MS2A# includes stable individual
differences, as well as chance fluctuations, and measurement error. Dor *B+p designs, the error
term !referred to as MS*7S# does not include variability due to stable individual differences.
3his makes the error term smaller than that obtained from 8*+p designs, and thus in general
makes *B+p designs more powerful that 8*+= designs.

Study Background:
-dult attachment style refers to the characteristic ways in which adults feel, think, and behave within their
romantic relationships. 3wo dimensions, view of oneself !as positive or negative# and view of others !as
positive or negative# are hypothesi:ed to underlie four adult attachment styles: secure, preoccupied,
dismissing, and fearful. *esearch and theory on adult attachment styles suggests that the differences in
these two dimensions are a result of early relationship e0periences with oneJs primary caregiver, such as
oneJs mother. 3he purpose of the study !from which the present data was obtained# was to e0amine
whether individuals with different attachment styles differ in their automatic associations toward their
mother !i.e., feelings that may e0ist outside of conscious awareness about their motherJs supportiveness#.
'otice that there are two independent variables in this study, view of self and view of others. 3hese two
independent variables have two levels each, positive and negative !in Firks terms, this is a 8*D+$$#.
3hus, with these two variables, there are four different possible classifications for each participant in the
study:
"# =ositive view of others, positive view of self !attachoth ( ", attachsel ( "# BsecureC
$# =ositive view of others, negative view of self !attachoth ( ", attachsel ( $# BpreoccupiedC
%# 'egative view of others, positive view of self !attachoth ( $, attachsel ( "# BdismissingC
3he independent variables are two
dimensions underlying adult attachment
styles:
"# 9attachoth9 refers to a view of others
as positive, supportive, trustworthy,
dependable, versus negative, cold,
uncaring. !variable labels are ": positive,
and $: negative#
$# 9attachsel9 refers to a view of self as
positive and worthy of love, versus
negative. !variable labels are ": positive,
and $: negative#
3he dependent variable is the &-3, an
implicit measure that assesses automatic
associations toward oneJs mother as
supportive versus re1ecting !larger scores
on momlniat reflect stronger supportive
associations toward oneJs mother#.

You can look at the data in bo0plot form by selecting
'RAP(S ) $O*P+OT ) 3+6ST,R,D #su--aries .or groups o. cases&
and defining your variables !B&-3 effect,C or momlniat is your variable of interest, and you can define
either of your &/s as the category a0is, and the other as the Bdefine clusters byC variable#. *egardless of
how you place the two &/s, you will be able to see the four distinct groups mentioned above.

You may also wonder if there is an interaction between view of self and view of others in determining the
way in which one sees ones mother !as supportive or not#. 3his Kuestion can be phrased in several ways:
"# ,oes the effect of the views of self depend on the effect of the views of others in determining the
dependent variable, view of mother;
$# -re differences in views of mother, as determined by views of self, different depending on how
one views others;
&t appears that, in general, a positive
view of others is related to a view of
the mother as supportive !as compared
to a negative view of others#.
3hough its somewhat more difficult to
see here, view of self does not appear
to be as influential in terms of its effect
on views of mother !compare the red
bo0plots with the green ones#.
&f you like, you can switch the two &/s
to get a different view of the data.
3hese are 1ust two e0amples of ways in which one can ask Kuestions about an interaction.
2ell, for all of these effects, you want to know if they are statistically significant<to go about doing this,
you will run a new command in S=SS:
-'->Y?7 @ A7'7*-> >&'7-* M.,7> @ 5'&/-*&-37
!You may be wondering what univariate meansL it refers to the fact that there is one dependent variable in
the study#
You will get the following dialog bo0:
3he BmodelC option in S=SS allows you to specify e0actly which factors you are interested in testing.
3he default is Bfull factorial,C which will test the effects of each of the independent variables, as well as
their interaction.
You can also select the type of sums of sKuares you want !the default is 3ype &&&#. 2hat does this mean;
2ell, it refers to how you would account for sums of sKuares if you had uneKual sample si:es in your
treatment groups. 4ere, you have eKual sample si:es !MM in each level of each condition#, so dont worry
about this for now.
3he dependent variable has been
entered !momlniat#.
4ow do you enter the two &/s;

'otice that your effects of your two independent variables, and of the interaction, remain the same. Your
error term is also the same. 2hat is different is that the corrected model does not include the intercept.
Your total SSbetween is that which is listed in your Bcorrected modelC row, .%OP. &t is the total for the
two main effects and the interaction. Your Bcorrected totalC is the total sums of sKuares in the e0periment.
