Univariate and multivariate analysis of variance (ANOVA and MANOVA), as well as analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) form cornerstones of applied statistics
A covariate is a variable that is related to the DV, which you can’t manipulate, but you want to removes its (their) relationship from the DV before assessing differences on the IVs.
.
8 F tests at .05 each means the experiment-wise probability of making a Type I error (rejecting the null hypothesis when it is in fact true) is 40%!
A test that mixes both between AND within IVs is called mixed MANOVA
Under Options, select Homogeneity tests
Continue, and OK
We would write this up in the following way: “A one-way MANOVA revealed a significant multivariate main effect for EXERCISE, Wilks’ λ = 0.149, F (4, 34) = 13.534, p <. 001, partial eta squared = .835. Power to detect the effect was 1. 0 Thus hypothesis 1 was confirmed.”
We would write this up in the following way: “A one-way MANOVA revealed a significant multivariate main effect for region, Wilks’ λ = .465, F (9, 95.066) = 3.9, p <. 001, partial eta squared = .225. Power to detect the effect was .964. Thus hypothesis 1 was confirmed.”
This can be done by going to
-> Analyse -> General linear model -> Multivariate -> Post-Hoc -> Moving the IV to ‘Post Hoc Tests for:’ -> Selecting a preferred post hoc test (common test is Tukey)
One degree of freedom is lost for each additional DV
