Looking at the ANOVA table (Tests of Between-Subjects Effects):
Number of main effect(s) = _____
Number of interaction(s) = _____
Degrees of freedom of residual term = _____
2. Indicate the lower order effect(s):______________________; indicate the higher order
effect(s):______________________
3. What can you conclude about the significance of the main effects? Interaction?
4. Report the main effect of Sex, in APA format. Report
the main effect of Alcohol, in APA format. Report the interaction
effect of Sex and Alcohol, in APA format.
5. Would you interpret the main effects of Sex and Alcohol? Why or why not?
6. What would a significant Sex by Alcohol interaction mean? For interpretation, where would you look next in the output?
H01: sex has no effect in attractiveness of date.
Vs
H11:sex has effect in attractiveness of date.
and
H02: alcohol has no effect in attractiveness of date
Vs
H12: alcohol has effect in attractiveness of date
and
H03: sex*alcohol has no effect in attractiveness of date
VS
H13: sex*alchohol has effect in attractiveness of date.
1) Number of main effect=2 (sex and alcohol)
Number of interaction effect=1 (sex*alcohol)
degree of freedom of residual term=83.06
2) lower oder effect: sex*alcohol
higher order effect: sex and alcohol
3) sex has no effect on effect on attractriveness of date since pvalue > 0.05 i.e we accept H01.
Alcohol and sex*alcohol has effect on attractiveness of date since pvalue < 0.05 i.e. we reject H02 and H03.
4) The main effect sex has pvalue 0.161 which is greater than level of significance i.e 0.05. Therefore we may accept, H01: sex has no effect in attractiveness of date.
The main effect alcohol has pvalue 0.000 which is less than level of significance i.e. 0.05. Therefore we may reject, H02: alcohol has no effect in attractiveness of date
