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.

What is randomisation?
When you randomly allocate participants to groups.

38
What is the F ratio?
systematic variance/ experimental error variance Can be also referred to as experimental/error just to confuse shit.
39
If systematic variance is larger than experimental error variance what is the F ratio likely to be?

40
If systematic variance is smaller than experimental error variance what is the F ratio likely to be?
Not significant! | F = 1/10 = 0.1 = small :(
41
The larger the F ratio the _____ the variance.
The greater
42
The larger the F ratio, the more ___ the result.
significant
43
How do we calculate how much variability there is between all of the scores?
Get the Total Sum of Squares (SS total)
44
How do we calculate how much of this variability can be explained by the IV?
Get the Treatment Sum of Squares | (SS treatment)
45
How do we calculate how much of this variability can't be explained?
Get the error sum of squares. | ss error
46
After getting the SS treatment and SS error what do we calculate?
Mean Squares Treatment Mean Squares error
47
What is this the formula for? | SS treatment/ df treatment
Mean Squares Treatment
48
What is this the formula for? SS error/ df error
Mean Squares error
49
How do you calculate the df treatment?
Number of groups - 1
50
How do you calculate the df error?
The no. of participants - the number of conditions
51
F distribution is _______. Values are ______ and we don't ___ the p value for 1 tailed hypotheses.
Non-symmetrical positive half
52
If you get a non significant result in Levene's test of equality of variances what does this mean?
Groups are approx. equal wooo :)
53
How do we get the F ratio from the SPSS table?
divide group mean square by error mean square
54
What is partial eta squared?
The effect size for ANOVA
55
What is considered a small, medium and large effect size in ANOVA?
``` small = .01 medium= .09 large = .25 ```
56
How do you report an ANOVA?
F( df treatment, df error) = F ratio, p < .xxx, (if significant report effect size: n2p = .xx)
57
What is the difference between repeated measures ANOVA and independent groups ANOVA?
repeated measures ANOVA = 3 or more conditions. Independent groups ANOVA = 3 or more groups
58
In a repeated measures ANOVA if the data is non-parametric, what test should you use?
Friedman Test
59
Friedman Test is an extension of the ….
Wilcoxon Signed Ranks.
60
What are the ANOVA advantages of a repeated measures study?
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
What are the ANOVA disadvantages of repeated measures study?
Assumes scores are independent but in fact these are related. This extra assumption is called sphericity!
62
What extra assumption in repeated measures ANOVA do we need to consider?
Sphericity
63
What is sphericity? | RM
It assumes the differences between conditions is equal
64
What can a violation of sphericity do? | RM
Invalidate the F ratio
65
What test do we use to test for sphericity? | (RM
Mauchly's Test of Sphericity.
66
What does it mean when Mauchly's test of sphericity is: p >.05 (RM)
Sphericity is not violated and we can carry on!
67
What does it mean when Mauchly's test of sphericity is: | p
Sphericity is violated :(
68
What do we do when sphericity has been violated? | RM
Report the "Greenhouse-Geisser Epsilon Correction"
69
What does the Greenhouse Geisser do? | RM
Reduces the chance of making a type II error.
70
Apart from sphericity what is another issue with repeated measures designs?
Order effects! | performance on one condition can change performance on another condition
71
How are order effects resolved? | RM
BY COUNTERBALANCING
72
What is counterbalancing? | RM
Person 1 = 1 2 3 Person 2 = 2 1 3 Person 3 = 3 1 2 or by randomly presenting conditions across trials
73
In repeated measures ANOVA- Effect of IV is found in the _____ participants variance.
within! | independent = between group variance
74
What is variance caused by?
Systematic error- effect of IV Experimental Error - individual differences and random error
75
In RM ANOVA what can we do with error variance?
we can split it in 2 because we can calculate the individual differences- we just don't know the random error part now!
76
What is the F ratio in RM?
systematic variance/ random error variance
77
We want F to be as ____ as possible for it to be significant.
Large
78
The smaller the random/residual error- the ____ the F ratio.
Bigger
79
How do you calculate df treatment?
number of conditions/groups- 1
80
How do you calculate df error?
no. of participants- number of conditions
81
How do you calculate the mean square?
total sum of squares / df error
82
How do you calculate the F ratio on the SPSS table?
mean square treatment / mean square error
83
What is an a priori comparison?
Comparison chosen before data has been collected.
84
What is a post hoc comparison?
Chosen by the experimenter after the data has been collected.
85
If we are making multiple comparisons, you need to control for...
Type I errors
86
What is another term for controlling type I errors?
controlling alpha inflation
87
What are the 2 ways to control for type I errors?
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
What is the chance of finding a Type I error for 6 comparisons: Familywise Error = 1 – (α) 6
1- (0.95))6 = .27 27% of making a type I error.
89
Before conducting Bonferonni Correction t test- what dowe not need to do?
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
What do post hoc comparisons allow?
all possible comparisons to be compared
91
When would you do a post hoc comparison?
When you get a SIGNIFICANT ANOVA
92
If we avoid type I error what's likely?
More chance of type II error
93
For independent ANOVA what follow up test is used?
