Week 11 Flashcards
Repeated Measures
- Within- Subjects
- When each participant is exposed to all the treatments
One-way ANOVA
- Tells whether there are differences in mean scores on the DV across 3 or more groups
- Invented by Sir Ronadl Fisher - F statistic
- Post-hoc tests can be used to find out where the differences are
Null Hypothesis
- Usually denoted by letter H with subscript ‘0’
- There is no significant difference between the means of various groups
Alternative Hypothesis
At least one of the means is different from the rest
Factor
The Independent Variable
One-way = single-factor = One independent variable
e.g. the type of treatment
Between-Subjects
- Independent groups
- Each group is different to the other groups
- e.g. comparing male and female & intersex
Within Subjects Group
- Dependent Groups
- One group of participants exposed to all levels of Individual Variable
Examine and Compare
- Indicates there will be a t-test or an ANOVA
- Two groups = t-test
- 3 or more groups = ANOVA
Familywise Error
- The more t-tests we do the greater the risk of error
- ANOVAs guard against familywise errors
Repeated-measures ANOVA
10:49 Part 1
- Can analyse differences between means from same group of participants
- If overall F is significant then run post-hoc analyses
Statistical Question
- Is there a statistically significant difference among the averages of the means
- Different treatments completed by the same group of subjects
Benefits of Repeated Measures
- Sensitivity
- Economy
Repeated Measure - Sensitivity
- A source of error is removed
- No individual differences when same subjects are in each group
- By removing variance data becomes more powerful in identifying experimental effects
Repeated Measure - Economy
- Research often constrained by time and budget
- Fewer subjects required to get the same data
Problems with Repeated Measures
- Drop-out
- Practice/Order/Carry-over Effects
Repeated Measures Drop Out
- Participants may withdraw for many differnt reasons
- If we miss even one score all data for that subject has to be removed
Repeated Measures Drop Out
- Participants may withdraw for many differnt reasons
- If we miss even one score all data for that subject has to be removed
- Researchers should state what the drop out rate is
Repeated Measures Practice/Order/Carry-Over Effects
- Receiving one type of treatment can make subsequent treatments easier
- May cause varied performance
- What happens at beginning might affect what happens at the end of research
- We can use counterbalancing to get around this
Assumptions - Tests for Sphericity
- With t-tests and Between-subjects ANOVAs we look for homogeneity of variance
- With paired samples t-tests and Within-subjects ANOVAs we want Differences to be equal
- Mauchly’s Test for sphericity
- Equality in variances of differences
Mauchly’s Test for Sphericity
- Equality in variances of differences
- Tested using Mauchly’s Test
- p < .05, assumption of sphericity has been violated
- p > .05, assumption of sphericity has been met
Looking at Dataset
Each row is a participant and each column is the IV Condition

SPSS Within-subjects ANOVA
- Replace ? marks!
* One at a time drag each group to Within-Subjects Variables window
* Place them in order
* Click EM Means
