Looking up MANOVA, the purpose of this research method is to answer three questions: Do changes in the independent (s) have significant effects on the dependent variables? What are the interactions among the dependent variables? And among the independent variables? MANOVA is a statistical test procedure for comparing multivariate (population) means of several groups. As a multivariate procedure, it is used when there are two or more dependent variables, although statistical reports provide individual p-values for each dependent variable in order to test for statistical significance. I do find the research outcomes to be interesting, I just personally am not the research type. I believe it is all the numbers and letters in the equations, though once I see it done I am able to complete most equations but if I do not see it done I have a very hard time comprehending math written out. Thoughts? .
