Question

SPSS Module 7 Assignment-Factorial ANOVA General Instructions: In this assignment, you will be asked to interpret the results from 1 Factorial ANOVA. As with previous assignments, the Aspelmeier and Pierce text does a wonderful job of explaining how actually run the test in Chapter 9. Follow their instructions on how to interpret the results for this assignment. As always I have given you the SPSS output so that you can answer these questions. Factorial ANOVA The researchers think that age group (older and younger created in Assignment 8) and "house" will interact. Meaning that the groups of Freshmen who live in the dorms, Freshmen who live in apartments or houses, Freshmen who live with their parents, Sophomores who live in the dorms, Sophomores who live in apartments or houses, and Sophomores who live with their parents will differ on reported levels of Tangible Help with their closest female friends. As we learned from the text and the PPTs, we know these research situations require the use of the Factorial ANOVA. Here is the researchers' hypotheses Older and younger females will report different levels of tangible help Females who live in the dorms, females who live in apartments or houses, and females who live with their parents will report different levels of tangible help. Age group and where they live now will interact. 1. 2. 3. Use the SPSS data to make conclusions.

Explanation / Answer

I. State the hypothesis

With hypothesis testing we are setting up a null-hypothesis, the probability that there is no effect or relationship and then we collect evidence that leads us to either accept or reject that null hypothesis.

As you may recall, a Factorial ANOVA attempts to compare the influence of at least two independent variables with at least two levels each (e.g., 1. House – 1- Dorm, 2- Apartments, 3. With parents and 2. Age – 1. Freshman, 2. Sophomores) on a dependent variable (e.g., Tangible help from friends).

Alternate hypothesis

1. Older and younger females will report different levels of tangible help

2. Females who live in the dorms, females who live in the apartments or house and females who live with their parents will report different levels of tangible help

3. Age group and where they live will now interact?

II.The test used is 1 factorial ANOVA

III. The null hypothesis is accepted as none of the effects is significant

IV. No the groups are not significantly different

V Mean of Age Younger 54.79 SD 9.367 Older 56.34 SD 6.759

Mean of HOUSE DORM 55.71 SD 6.957 Apartments 55.15 SD 6.994 Parents 56.00 SD 10.236

VI df1 5 df2 94

None of the test are significant
