Unsure which test to use...

[PhamilyJules]

Hey there,
I'm unsure which test to use for this experiment I designed (Independent samples t-test, paired samples t-test, one-way ANOVA). Statistics was never my strong point.

3 Independent Variables:
(a) Extroversion
(b) Introversion
(c) Leadership

2 Dependent Variables
(a) Score #1
(b) Score #2

Score #1 is independent of Score #2, also, there is no control (a poorly designed experiment, I know). Not really a true experiment though, just looking for correlations.

I'm suspecting that having a high extroversion and high leadership affects Score #1. How do I go about seeing if there is a significant difference?

I'm leaning towards a One-Way ANOVA, Extroversion against Score 1 and Score 2, Introversion against Score 1 and Score 2, and Leadership against Score 1 and Score 2? Can anyone tell me if this is the correct way to go about this?

Thanks!

You can run a 1 Way MANOVA.

Your "Grouping" Factor, which has 3 levels would be the independent variable. Your two "Scores" would serve as the dependent variables.

SPSS offers this under, Analyze --> General Linear Model --> Multivariate

Thank you so much!

For some reason the version of SPSS that I'm using (16.0) doesn't have Multivariante there, but I've seen that test in previous versions. Weird.

Seems like I'm not the only one with that problem...

Anyone know where they moved that test in SPSS 16.0?
