Interaction Effects in Factorial Analysis of Variance (Quantitative Applications in the Social Sciences)

Although factorial analysis is widely used in the social sciences, there is some confusion as to how to use the technique's most powerful feature - the evaluation of interaction effects. Written to remedy this situation, this book explores the issues underlying the effective analysis of interaction in factorial designs. It includes discussion of: different ways of characterizing interactions in ANOVA; interaction effects using traditional hypothesis testing approaches; and alternative analytic frameworks that focus on effect size methodology and interval estimation.
