I have one scale and I'm testing the difference between gender (2 levels) and age group (five levels). I also want to test for interaction between age and gender. However, my data is not normally distributed and I'm confused at what test to carry out.
I was originally going to use an independent factorial ANOVA but I can't find the parametric equivalent. In fact I've read one doesn't exist.
Transforming my data using LOG10 in SPSS was unsuccessful.
I used the two step transformation process presented by Templeton (2011) and was successful in transforming my data normal but I'm unsure how accurate this process is.
Does anyone have an idea of where I should go from here?
Thanks
