Experimental Research Questions
A factorial design is a type of experimental design that involves manipulating two or more independent variables simultaneously to examine their individual and combined effects on the dependent variable. It allows researchers to investigate the main effects of each independent variable as well as the interaction effects between them. By systematically varying the levels of each independent variable, researchers can determine how different combinations of these variables influence the outcome. This design is used in experimental research to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the relationships between variables and to identify the specific effects of each independent variable and their interactions.
