I see Michael’s 2x2x2 Factorial example described below and raise you a 
2x2x2x2x2 Factorial ANOVA with “participant gender (M/F), Hostile Sexism 
(high/low), and Benevolent Sexism (high/low) as between-subjects factors and 
speaker gender and addressee gender (M/W) as within-subject factors”. (p. 561) 
The dependent measure was humor enjoyment of brief sarcastic vignettes. From 
the abstract: “Results show that…female participants fully adopted a feminine 
point of view, enjoying sarcastic irony best when it was directed by women at 
men and least when it was directed by women at women. Being more sexist, our 
male participants adopted a feminine point of view only partially, enjoying 
sarcastic irony more when directed at men than directed at women, regardless of 
the speaker’s gender.” (p. 551) I thought that was a thought-provoking 
theoretical interpretation of sexism. They also provide an online

 of their dependent measure.

Subject: [tips] Example of a 2 x 2 x 2 Factorial Design

Interesting research finding that children respond better to a British accent 
than to an American one, and to a female voice rather than a male voice.  The 
article suggests 3 variables that might make for an interesting class 
discussion on a 2x2x2 research design:

Independent variables:

 1.  Accent: British and American
 2.  Gender: Female and Male
 3.  Age: “Child" (this study only examined children 18 months - 6 years) and 
“Youth” (7 to 12?)

Dependent variables:

 *   “responded better” (needs operationalization)
 *   “listened more attentively” (needs operationalization)
 *   “listened longer” (the easiest to measure DV)
 *   “commanded more authority”: ‘As we get older we regard male voices as more 
authoritative, but children under five still respond better to a female voice, 
probably because of the bond with their mother.’ (needs operationalization)
Here’s the popular article review of the study:
