SPSS Module 7 Assignment-Factorial ANOVA
General Instructions: In this assignment, you will be asked to interpret the results from 1 Factorial ANOVA. As with
previous assignments, the Aspelmeier and Pierce text does a wonderful job of explaining how actually run the test in
Chapter 9. Follow their instructions on how to interpret the results for this assignment. As always I have given you the
SPSS output so that you can answer these questions.
Factorial ANOVA:
The researchers think that age group (older and younger created in Assignment 8) and “house” will interact. Meaning
that the groups of Freshmen who live in the dorms, Freshmen who live in apartments or houses, Freshmen who live with
their parents, Sophomores who live in the dorms, Sophomores who live in apartments or houses, and Sophomores who
live with their parents will differ on reported levels of Tangible Help with their closest female friends . As we learned
from the text and the PPTs, we know these research situations require the use of the Factorial ANOVA. Here is the
researchers’ hypotheses:
1. Older and younger females will report different levels of tangible help.
2. Females who live in the dorms, females who live in apartments or houses, and females who live with their
parents will report different levels of tangible help.
3. Age group and where they live now will interact.
Use the SPSS data to make conclusions.
