Hi all,
I'm running a 2 x 2 between-subjects ANOVA with the setup in the attached image (kindly refer to JPG attachment).
I understand that calculating simple effects involves determining differences in one IV according to another HIV, hence comparisons in the matrix between A & B, B & D, C & D, C & A. These are "vertical" and "horizontal" comparisons in the matrix.
However, what if I want to know the significance of the difference between A & D, which are at different levels of both IVs? The simple effects output on SPSS won't tell me that, since it's a "diagonal" contrast in the matrix. Would appreciate your help in figuring this out.
