Researchers compared the effectiveness of a mood induction technique (exposure to depressing film footage) across 3 different groups of 11 participants each: 1) 0 minutes exposure (Control Group), 2) 10 minutes exposure, & 3) 20 minutes exposure. The response variable is the score on the Beck Depression Inventory (higher score = more depressed mood).
M1 = 7 | M2 = 11 | M3 = 12 |
SS1 = 56 | SS2 = 96 | SS3 = 62 |
n1 = 11 | n2 = 11 | n3 = 11 |
SSTOTAL = 368
Regardless of whether or not your ANOVA allows you do to post hoc analyses, conduct a post hoc analysis and write the final answer for post-hoc analysis and a statistical conclusion explaining which groups are different, if any.
