Dr. Jenkins is conducting a factorial experiment where he is examining the mean effects of 3 different independent variables on 2 separate, related dependent variables.
 
  In order to avoid the problem of increased Type I error rates, Dr. Jenkins should compute a
 
   a. series of separate ANOVAs.
   b. series of separate t tests.
   c. MANOVA.
   d. single ANOVA.

Question 2

The difference between a layperson's and an experimental psychologist's understanding of behavior is:
 
  A) A layperson relies upon his/her conceptualizations whereas an
  experimental psychologist systematically tests his/her beliefs about behavior
  B) A layperson depends upon his/her previous experiences whereas an
  experimental psychologist relies solely upon the experiences of others
  C) A layperson completely lacks an adequate understanding of human behavior
  whereas an experimental psychologist fully grasps the complexities of human
  behavior
  D) A layperson's ponderings about behavior are often reliable whereas an
  experimental psychologist's assumptions about behavior are always true

Question 3

James is carrying out a factorial experiment containing three separate, but related, dependent variables.
 
  He wants to examine the means among the various conditions, but he would like to parcel out the variable of socioeconomic status across all of his subjects. Given this multivariate situation, James would probably compute a(n)
 
   a. ANOVA.
   b. MANOVA.
   c. MANCOVA.
   d. ANCOVA.

Question 4

If researchers are speculating about the pattern of correlations across several variables that would exist if the relationships were causal ones, they would be engaged in the process of
 
  a. structural modeling.
   b MANOVA.
   c. MANCOVA.
   d. meta-analysis.
