Hi,
I need to conduct a manipulation check on my IV (leadership styles) before I complete my main bulk of stats.
The two variables I am comparing is 12 different sub-scales of leadership styles against the 5 levels in the Big Five Inventory in order to see that if the leadership styles are effecting my DV (stress).
I have read that an ANOVA can be used, but have also seen that correlation and chi squared can also be used. I feel like I should be using an ANOVA due to the different levels of IV but I'm not entirely sure.
Thanks!
The way you approach a manipulation check depends on how you manipulated your independent variable in the experiment. Can you provide more information how you manipulated leadership styles? Did participants read different scenarios? Did they watch different videos? Were they randomly assigned to groups with different leaders?
If everyone completed the same survey, then this would be a correlational study, not an experiment. Manipulation checks can only be done in experiments, not in correlational studies.
