A personality psychologist was interested in examining whether the prevalence of narcissism differed between people based on the type of pet they own: cats, dogs, or exotic pets. She administered a questionnaire that probed narcissistic personality traits to randomly selected participants. She collapsed the questionnaire items into a continuousvalued composite index of narcissism prevalence. She included biological sex as a factor in her analysis to examine whether biological sex interacts with pet type to influence the prevalence of narcissism. This gave her a 23 experimental design with sex (men, women) and pet type (cat, dog, exotic) as factors.

Objective is to answer these questions. 1. The type of data collected by researchers (i.e., continuous, ordinal, or nominal) 2. Whether researchers are investigating an association/relationship between at least two variables or are instead investigating differences between conditions using the same variable 3. If applicable, the number of conditions and/or factors 4. If applicable, the independence/dependence of observations between conditions.
