Academic Poster: Factorial Design
Your task is to create an academic research poster for an I/O psychology conference. This poster will discuss a research problem, review a factorial method, illustrate a significant spreading interaction, and provide a discussion.
Recall from Module 2 that Lee et al. (2019) found that the type of helping (proactive, reactive) led to differences in employee engagement. However, Lee et al. (2019) did not account for task criticality (low, high). What if the helping is on a critical task or a trivial task? How does that impact engagement? That is the research problem (gap).
You decide to follow-up Lee et al. (2019) for a conference presentation. You sit down and write out your factorial design. After obtaining institutional approval, you conduct the engagement study and find a significant spreading interaction. You write up your results, and receive the following email from the Society for Industrial Organizational Psychology (SIOP):
“Congratulations! Your poster presentation is accepted at the annual SIOP convention. Carefully review SIOP’s Presentation Suggestions for Poster Sessions and other sources like the APA Annual Conference Poster Instructions for tips on layout, organization, and visual clarity. Using a software program like PowerPoint or Canva, include the following elements in your poster:
Title
Name and school affiliation
Problem statement
Method
Results
Discussion
Your poster presentation should not exceed 500 words in length. In the Method section, the reviewer asked you to replace the narrative of your factorial design with a 2×2 table illustrating Factor A (including levels) and Factor B (including levels). They also asked that your Results section illustrate your significant spreading interaction as a bar chart or line chart. We look forward to seeing you at the conference!”
