HW 3

You will need to interpret the results of all the analyses where relevant.

13.1 (Do in SPSS) and plot the cell means (by hand)

In a study of mother-infant interaction, mothers are rated by trained observers on the quality of their interactions with their infants. Mothers are classified on the basis of whether or not this was their first child (primiparous versus multiparous) and on the basis of whether this was a low-birthweight (LBW) infant or normal-birthweight (NBW) infant. Mothers of LBW infants were further classified on the basis of whether or not they were under 18 years old. The data represent a score on a 12-point scale; a higher score represents better mother-infant interaction. Run and interpret the appropriate analysis of variance.

13.4 (Do in SPSS) In Exercise 13.1 the design may have a major weakness from a practical point of view. Notice the group of multiparous mothers less than 18 years of age. Without regard to the data, would you expect this group to lie on the same continuum as the others?

13.8 (Do in SPSS- Follow instructions similar to the one described below for simple effects). Make sure you interpret the results

Plot the cell means in Exercise 13.5.

13.13. Make up a set of data for a \(2 \times 2\) design that has two main effects but no interaction.

13.14. In Exercise 11.3 you ran a test between Groups 1 and 3 combined versus Groups 2 and 4 combined. How does that compare to testing the main effect of Level of processing in Exercise 13.11 ? Is there any difference?
