In my study there are 2 intervention groups and 1 control group. In the ANCOVA I take trait scores as covariates and state scores as AV (so I compare the differences in the groups after the intervention).
Is there a statistical way to check if there was a change in the control group? I am replicating a study, they assumed there was no effect in the control group - but what if I am not sure (because the control design could have an effect). Within the ANCOVA, I only know that the results differ, but not whether the changes differ, right?
