Assignment: Mixed Factorial ANOVA
Complete the following:
A. Step A: Provide a context for the data set in the supplied .sav file. Include a definition of the specified variables, levels of each factor, and the outcome variable. Define the corresponding scales of measurement for each variable. Specify the sample size of the data set.
B. Step B: Specify the research questions related to the mixed factorial ANOVA. Articulate the null hypotheses and alternative hypotheses for Factor A, Factor B, and the A x B interaction. Specify the alpha level.
C. Step C: Analyze the assumptions of the mixed factorial ANOVA. Paste the SPSS histogram output for total scores and discuss your visual interpretations. Paste SPSS descriptive statistics output showing skewness and kurtosis values for total score and interpret them (that is, values of 0 are perfectly normal; values between +/- 1 are ideal; values +/- 2 are acceptable; values beyond +/- 2 are a potential violation). Report the results of the Shapiro-Wilk test and Levene test and interpret them. Summarize whether or not the assumptions of the mixed factorial ANOVA are met.
D. Step D:
a. To provide context, begin by reporting the grand mean on Y, the means of Y for both main effects (A, B) and the means of the interaction (A*B). You may paste SPSS output of these descriptive statistics, but you should also report them in the narrative.
b. Next, paste SPSS output of the A*B cell means plot on Y. Designate Factor A on the horizontal axis and separate lines for Factor B. Provide a visual interpretation of this graph in terms of possible main effects and an interaction.
c. Then paste the SPSS output for the mixed factorial ANOVA. Report the results for both main effects and the interaction, including F, degrees of freedom, the F value, the p value, a calculation of effect size, and interpretation of the effect size (calculate and report simple eta squared; do not use partial eta squared from SPSS output).
d. For each factor and the interaction, also report SPSS calculations of observed power and interpret them in terms of type II error.
e. Finally, for each factor and the interaction, interpret the results against the null hypotheses articulated in step E.
E. Step E: Discuss the conclusions of the mixed factorial ANOVA as it relates to the research questions. Conclude with an analysis of the strengths and limitations of the mixed factorial ANOVA.
Format your assignment according to the give formatting requirements:
a. The answer must be double spaced, typed, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides.
b. The response also includes a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the course title, the student's name, and the date. The cover page is not included in the required page length.
c. Also include a reference page. The references and Citations should follow APA format. The reference page is not included in the required page length.
