Hi guys,
Briefly describing the study:
- 1 IV with three levels (boring, neutral, & fun condition)
- 3 DV's (time perception, task rating, mood)
- Each subject takes part in only one of the three conditions (between subjects)
What I'm confused with is whether this is a mixed design or a between subjects design & what analysis to use?

The participants do a boring, neutral, or fun task and then they estimate how much time the task took, their mood before and after the task is also measured (ie good, bad, & neutral).
So, we are comparing the time estimations in the three conditions (ie task rating vs time estimation - did the subjects who rated the task as boring give higher time estimations compared to the fun task subjects....) & we are comparing their mood with their time estimations (ie did they give higher estimations if they were in a bad mood?)
THANKS!
