Dear Marilla,

Could you write what parameter you have measured in your research? Was it a number value? The answer regarding the kind of test depends on this. Apart from them, how many persons have been included in the research?

Regards,

Carl Ribaudo

If the measurement is a continuous variable, then you could use a paired (Student's) t-test.
