MVDA - Repeated Measures ANOVA

Week 6: Repeated Measures ANOVA

When do we use it? When comparing two or more (dependent) variable means for only one group (within-subjects [WS] comparisons).

We use RMA in 4 types of situations:

  1. Time-series - Example: Does IQ get lower when we get older?
  2. Repeated measures experiment - Example: Is task performance better when working with others than when working alone?
  3. Common measuring rod - Example: Which TV program do kids like more: Pokemon, Powerpuff Girls, or Totally Spies?
  4. Pairs or groups - Example: do people work harder in cohesive groups than in non-cohesive groups?

Discuss the robustness of the multivariate tests with respect to possible violations of multivariate normality in each group.

We look at the number of participants per group. If it’s larger than 15, then it’s robust to non-normality.

Is there a significant effect of condition on trait x (e.g.: anxiety)? If so, which group has the higher estimated marginal mean?

We look at the at the significance in the Multivariate tests table. If they’re below 0.05, then there is a significant effect. Example of reporting:

Yes. All multivariate tests have F(3,5) = 26.955,p=.002

The researcher uses the ready-made contrast ‘Simple’ in SPSS. Which group means are compared with which other group means in this set of contrasts?

We look at the Tests of Within-Subjects Contrasts table. Below condition, look at what each level is compared to. For example, if all of them are compared to level 1, that means each group is compared to the first group.

Check if this set of contrasts is orthogonal.

Orthogonal means that there is absolutely no overlap between contrasts. We can check this by looking at the Estimated marginal means table, and checking the lower and upper bound. If this range overlaps with another group’s, then it’s not orthogonal.

Which contrasts have a significant F test? Interpret the significant effects.

We look at the Tests of Within-Subjects Contrasts table. Then, we check which condition the significant effect (p<0.05) belongs to. We also report the mean square belonging to that condition.

Example: Level 4 vs Level 1 is significant. An example of how we can report this:

Let’s say Level 4 means 50 people and  Level 1 means 1 person. We are testing scores of anxiety and number of people in front of which participants give a presentation.

Answer: Higher anxiety in front of an audience of 50 persons (M= 8.25) than an audience of one person (M= 4.250),F(1,7) = 22.803,p= .002

Using and finding summaries, study notes en practice exams on JoHo WorldSupporter

There are several ways to navigate the large amount of summaries, study notes en practice exams on JoHo WorldSupporter.

  1. Use the menu above every page to go to one of the main starting pages
    • Starting pages: for some fields of study and some university curricula editors have created (start) magazines where customised selections of summaries are put together to smoothen navigation. When you have found a magazine of your likings, add that page to your favorites so you can easily go to that starting point directly from your profile during future visits. Below you will find some start magazines per field of study
  2. Use the topics and taxonomy terms
    • The topics and taxonomy of the study and working fields gives you insight in the amount of summaries that are tagged by authors on specific subjects. This type of navigation can help find summaries that you could have missed when just using the search tools. Tags are organised per field of study and per study institution. Note: not all content is tagged thoroughly, so when this approach doesn't give the results you were looking for, please check the search tool as back up
  3. Check or follow your (study) organizations:
    • by checking or using your study organizations you are likely to discover all relevant study materials.
