Discussion: Advantages and Disadvantages of Different ANOVA Designs

Below are general types of ANOVA designs we will be reading about in this module. The differences in methodology are based on experimental design:

1. One-Way Between-Subjects Design
2. One-Way Within-Subjects (Repeated-Measures) Design

Debate the advantages and disadvantages of these two types of ANOVA designs with your classmates. Summarize the advantages and disadvantages of each from a statistical and practical perspective, and provide a real world example (one for each design) where each design might be used.

Pick one of your real-world examples and use your real world example to explain in detail, how the example you provided fits the design selected for that example. Make sure to discuss your:

• Experimental design
• Sample size
• Number of variables
• Number of levels for each variable
• Why you chose the design you selected (between-subjects or within-subjects design)
