Module 5's

5.1

Consider your dissertation research interests. Identify one categorical/nominal scale IV with more than 2 categories, and three DVs that are measured on continuous scales. Think of DV measures that probably are moderately correlated with each other because they are measuring different components of the same or similar concepts (e.g., three different measures of academic performance). State the null and alternative hypotheses based on this design (with a planned analysis using a one-way MANOVA). (Research support is not required for this question.)

5.2

Considering the variables and design that you described in the first discussion question in this module, what information would a one-way MANOVA provide you? What more would you want to know if you get significant results in the MANOVA? Why would this be significant to your research? (Research support is not required for this question.)
