Q

Why do we use ANOVA instead of doing lots of t-tests?

A

t-test doesn’t allow more than 2 conditions of an I.

It also inflates the overall type I error rate.

57
Q

What is the difference between repeated measures ANOVA and independent groups ANOVA?

Q

Friedman Test is an extension of the ….

A

Wilcoxon Signed Ranks.

60
Q

What are the ANOVA advantages of a repeated measures study?

A

requires less participants = less expensive

scores for each participant are related

We can calculate and remove the variance due to individual differences :) - can’t do this for independent groups design.

61
Q

What are the ANOVA disadvantages of repeated measures study?

A

Assumes scores are independent but in fact these are related.
This extra assumption is called sphericity!

62
Q

What extra assumption in repeated measures ANOVA do we need to consider?

A

Sphericity

63
Q

What is sphericity?

RM

A

It assumes the differences between conditions is equal

64
Q

What can a violation of sphericity do?

RM

A

Invalidate the F ratio

65
Q

What test do we use to test for sphericity?

(RM

A

Mauchly’s Test of Sphericity.

66
Q

What does it mean when Mauchly’s test of sphericity is:
p >.05

(RM)

A

Sphericity is not violated and we can carry on!

67
Q

What does it mean when Mauchly’s test of sphericity is:

p

A

Sphericity is violated :(

68
Q

What do we do when sphericity has been violated?

RM

A

Report the “Greenhouse-Geisser Epsilon Correction”

69
Q

What does the Greenhouse Geisser do?

RM

A

Reduces the chance of making a type II error.

70
Q

Apart from sphericity what is another issue with repeated measures designs?

What is counterbalancing?

RM

A

Person 1 = 1 2 3

Q

In repeated measures ANOVA- Effect of IV is found in the _____ participants variance.

A

within!

independent = between group variance

74
Q

What is variance caused by?

A

Systematic error- effect of IV

Experimental Error -
individual differences and random error

75
Q

In RM ANOVA what can we do with error variance?

A

we can split it in 2 because we can calculate the individual differences- we just don’t know the random error part now!

76

A

systematic variance/ random error variance

77
Q

We want F to be as ____ as possible for it to be significant.

A

Large

78

83
Q

What is an a priori comparison?

A

Comparison chosen before data has been collected.

84
Q

What is a post hoc comparison?

A

Chosen by the experimenter after the data has been collected.

85
Q

If we are making multiple comparisons, you need to control for…

A

Type I errors

86
Q

What is another term for controlling type I errors?

A

controlling alpha inflation

87
Q

What are the 2 ways to control for type I errors?

A

Alpha controlled per comparison (probability of making a Type I error on any given comparison) e.g. .05

Alpha controlled familywise (probability of making at least one Type I error on a set of comparisons

88
Q

What is the chance of finding a Type I error for 6 comparisons:

Familywise Error = 1 – (α) 6

A

1- (0.95))6
= .27

27% of making a type I error.

89
Q

Before conducting Bonferonni Correction t test- what dowe not need to do?

A

we don’t have to do the Bonferonni correction e.g. divide significance value (.05) by number of t-tests being conducted. BECAUSE spss does it for us :)

90
Q

What do post hoc comparisons allow?

A

all possible comparisons to be compared

91
Q

When would you do a post hoc comparison?

A

When you get a SIGNIFICANT ANOVA

92
Q

If we avoid type I error what’s likely?

A

More chance of type II error

93
Q

For independent ANOVA what follow up test is used?

A

Tukey HSD Test

For repeated measures, what follow up test is used?
