The authors argue that a parameterization in terms of cell means is a useful conceptual device for resolving problems inherent in the nonorthogonal analysis of variance. They demonstrate their argument by considering two widely-used methods for testing main effects. (Author/BW)

Hollingsworth recently showed a posttest contrast for analysis of variance situations that, for equal sample sizes, had several favorable qualities. However, for unequal sample sizes, the contrast fails to achieve status as a maximized contrast; thus, separate testing of the contrast is required. (Author/GSK)

The present authors argued that the covariance analysis is completely valid even if there is a true main effect for pretesting and a second point of the paper involved a recommendation for data analysis if the interaction from ANOVA was significant. (Editor/RK)

The contention of this paper is that the obtained difference in a study by DuCette and Wolk, which indicated that giving options in an essay examination produces poorer test performance, was an artifact of the scoring procedures. (Author/RK)

EPPS scores from 167 high school seniors (Study 1, S1), 137 introductory psychology students (S2), and students from an innovative college program (S3) were compared using analysis of variance, image analysis, and factor pattern comparison. (Editor)

This study is an examination of the environmental forces and curriculum involvement in open and closed classroom settings. (Author)
