Hi there fellow researchers,
I'm testing the assumptions for my MANOVA (2 IVs & 3 DVs). However, i have come across a hurdle when conducting the analysis.
My questionnaire has 3 items on a likert scale (1-7) pertaining to each of the 3 constructs so that makes 9 items in total.
Do i have to compute the averages of these items when performing the assumption tests or do i just perform on all the items by itself?
Thanks in advance!
