An experiment in which there is more than one cause is called a _____ experiment.
 
  a. within subjects c. correlational
  b. complex d. factorial

Question 2

An experimenter wanted to test the hypothesis that women who eat large meals are not liked as well as women who eat smaller quantities of food by using the one factor repeated measures design. Participants in the study watched a videotape of a woman eating a small nutritious snack, a normal meal, or a huge meal while talking to another person. Each participant viewed three different versions of the videotape, each with a different woman (Pat, Sue, and Deb) eating a different amount of food. After viewing the videotape, participants filled out a questionnaire about how much they liked each of the women they had seen in the videos. In this experiment, having three different women each eat the three different amounts of food (thereby creating nine versions of the videotape) exemplifies which feature of the repeated measures experiment?
 
  a. counterbalancing the order of treatments
  b. the operational definition of the dependent variable
  c. embedding the treatment within a context
  d. randomizing the experimental and control groups

Answer to Question 1

D
This the defining characteristic of a factorial experiment.

Answer to Question 2

C
The context is the different women who eat the food. It is necessary to embed the treatment level in different contexts because if the women were the same for every treatment level, demand characteristics would be likely to occur and affect the internal validity of the study.
