To study work life balance among women live with their husbands and separated women, I am planning to obtain ‘work life balance’ responses on a metric (1-5) scale. Which test (ANOVA, Chi Square, and Regression) can be applied to analyse the difference
ANOVA can be used when we obtain responses on a metric scale (1-5).
Chi Square test can be used when we obtain responses on a non-metric (e.g. satisfied and dissatisfied).
hi,
if you have only 2 groups to compare (women live with their husbands and separated women) then you dont go with ANOVA but ttest.
The dependent variable is only measured on one item (1-5 scale) or a valid Likert scale with many items, if many items, then you do the total score and compare between the 2 groups using indpenednt sample ttest.
however, if the DV is only 5 steps, and you have only 2 groups as IV, then you need to use the Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney U test
good luck
Dear sir, thanks for your answer. Is it possible to use multiple regression?
