Quasi Experimental Design Exercise 1 A psychology instructor believes that general introductory psychology is best taught as a laboratory selfdiscovery course rather than as a straight lecture course, but also wonders if this is generally true or true only for certain kinds of students. Perhaps science majors would especially benefit from the lab approach. To test the idea, a comparison was made between lecture and lab versions of the course, and also between science majors and humanities majors. Two sections of introductory psychology were taught by the same instructor. In one section the course was taught with a lab emphasis (the treatment group). In the other section there was no lab and the course was taught with a lecture emphasis. Students did not know when they registered for the course whether there was a lab (note: students were not randomly assigned to the sections). The design looked like this: Type of Course Lab emphasis Lecture emphasis Student Major Science science students in a lab course science students in a lecture course Humanities humanities students in a lab course humanities students in a lecture course On the last day of class, a standardized test of knowledge of general psychology was given with score ranges from 1-100. The following results occurred: Type of Course Lab Lecture emphasis emphasis Student Major Science 85 75 Humanities 75 85 What quasi-experimental design is used in this study? Is this a between-subjects or within-subjects design? Clearly and specifically identify the independent variable(s) and the levels. Pg. 1 or 2 Clearly and specifically identify the dependent variable. Is there a main effect of student's major? Explain your answer (in plain English) and describe the results. Is there a main effect of course type? Explain your answer (in plain English) and describe the results. Draw a line graph of the group means. Properly and clearly label the graph. Is there an interaction? In plain English, explain the results and the interaction Pg. 2 or 2
