Researchers were examining the effects of conflict and child temperament on children’s aggressiveness. They hypothesized that children with difficult temperaments would have higher levels of aggressiveness than would children with easy temperaments. They also hypothesized that children exposed to high levels of conflict would display more aggressiveness than children exposed to low levels of conflict. Children were divided into 2 temperament groups based on mothers’ rating of child temperament, difficult and easy. They were randomly assigned to either being exposed to high levels of conflict in the lab or to low levels of conflict. Following the exposure they were observed playing with the other participants and rated for aggressive behavior (higher scores represented more aggressiveness). The results indicated that difficult temperament kids in high conflict received an average score of 50 and a score of 30 in low conflict. Children with easy temperament received a score of 10 in high conflict and 10 in low conflict. • Identify the factors and levels • For each factor in the study, indicate whether it is between or within groups.
