In Jamovi, how can you perform a repeated measures ANOVA, and what are the key considerations for setting up the data structure and selecting the appropriate post-hoc tests?
To perform a repeated measures ANOVA in Jamovi, you can follow these steps:
Import your data into Jamovi and make sure it is in long format, with each observation in a separate row.
Select the "ANOVA" option from the "Analyses" menu.
In the "ANOVA" dialog box, select "Repeated measures ANOVA" as the analysis type.
Select the dependent variable and the within-subjects factor(s) that you want to analyze.
Select the appropriate options for Type I or Type III sum of squares, effect size calculation, and post-hoc tests.
Click "OK" to run the analysis.
Key considerations for setting up the data structure include making sure that the data is in a long format with one row per observation and that the within-subjects factor is properly coded. Each level of the within-subjects factor should have a separate column, and the values in those columns should represent the measurements taken at each level.
For selecting appropriate post-hoc tests, there are several options available depending on the research question and hypotheses. Commonly used post-hoc tests include Bonferroni, Tukey HSD, and Scheffe tests. Bonferroni test is the most conservative approach as it adjusts the significance threshold based on the number of pairwise comparisons, whereas Tukey and Scheffe tests are less conservative but can be more powerful in detecting significant differences. However, it is recommended to choose post-hoc tests based on theoretical considerations and examine effect sizes along with statistical significance when interpreting the results.
In the "Repeated measures ANOVA" approach, groups of related dependent variables that reflect several ways to assess the same attribute are analyzed. Keep in mind that it matters which order you specify the within-subjects factors. Each element forms a level within the one before it.
