Study Notes

Analysis of Variance (ANOVA)

ANOVA is an extension of a t-test, designed to examine differences between two or more groups or conditions.
ANOVA can be used for independent groups (between subjects) or repeated measures (within subjects).
ANOVA is a parametric test that makes assumptions about the distribution of scores.

Advantages of ANOVA

ANOVA avoids the need for multiple t-tests, which can lead to an increased risk of Type 1 errors.
ANOVA allows consideration of multiple independent variables (IVs) using factorial analysis.

Parametric Assumptions of ANOVA

Normality
Homogeneity of variance
Independence of observations
Interval or ratio level of measurement

Factors

Factors refer to independent variables (IVs).
Between subjects factors are manipulated between participants. (independent groups)
Within subject factors are manipulated within subjects. (repeated measures)

Conceptual Basis of ANOVA

ANOVA tests whether the differences between means are statistically significant.
ANOVA compares the variation explained by the manipulation with unexplained variation (e.g., individual differences).
ANOVA calculates an F statistic (F ratio).

F Statistic

The F statistic is calculated by dividing the variance attributable to the "treatment" or manipulation (assessing how means scores differ) by unexplained variance (due to individual differences).
The shape of the F distribution depends on the degrees of freedom (df).

One-Way Between-Subjects ANOVA

To conduct a one-way between-subjects ANOVA in SPSS: Analyze > Compare Means > one-way ANOVA
Select the dependent variable (DV) and factor.
Select "Descriptive", "homogeneity of variance test", "Brown-Forsythe", and "Welch" in the options.

"Sums of Squares" (SS)

SS refers to the sum of the squared differences between scores and the mean.
SS is used to calculate variance: MS = SS ÷ df.

Limitations of ANOVA

The F-ratio does not identify the source of the effect.
ANOVA is not suitable for all data – parametric assumptions must be met.

One-Way Within-Subjects ANOVA

To conduct a one-way within-subjects ANOVA in SPSS: Analyze > General Linear Model > Repeated Measures
