nMS = variance (variance is the mean of the squared
deviations)
n MS = S2 =
SS/df
n MSB = SSb/dfB
n MSw = SSW/dfW
nTwo possible sources of variance exist
1.Treatment
Variance - btwn group differs due to
treatment
nPossible sources of treatment variance
¤Treatment effect
¤Individual differences
¤Experimenter error
2.Error
Variance - wthn treatment group
participants receive same manipulation. If their scores differ it is due to
error
nPossible sources of error variance
¤Individual differences
¤Experimenter error
