What information do you need to judge the statistical significance and the effect size for each of these sources of variance: A, B, and A x B ?
Problem: Suppose that in past studies of the interaction between sex and crowding as predictors of hostility, the R 2 for the main effects-only model was .20 and the R 2 for a model that included main effects and a sex-by-crowding interaction was .30. Suppose further that you plan to use = .05 as the criterion for statistical significance, you hope to have power of .80, and the assumptions for regression (e.g., multivariate normality) are met. What sample size should give you the desired level of statistical power in this situation?
