In a study with a 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 factorial design, it can be inferred that there are:

A) two variables, each with two levels.
B) four variables, each with two levels.
C) two independent variables and two dependent variables.
D) sixteen independent variables and four dependent variables.

Factorial Design

An experimental setup that involves two or more independent variables, allowing researchers to study the interactive effects on a dependent variable.

Independent Variables

Factors manipulated by the researcher in an experiment to determine their effects on the outcome or dependent variables.

Dependent Variables

The outcome factors in an experiment that are expected to change as a result of experimental manipulations.

  • Gain an understanding of the primary components and nomenclature related to factorial design.
  • Recognize the structure and implications of factorial designs in experimental research.

Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
A 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 factorial design involves four factors, each with two levels. Therefore, there are four variables, each with two levels.
