Statistics for the Behavioral Sciences by Frederick J. Gravetter, Larry B. Wallnau ISBN 10: 1305504917 ISBN 13: 9781305504912

Statistics is one of the most practical and essential courses that you will take, and a primary goal of this popular text is to make the task of learning statistics as simple as possible. Straightforward instruction, built-in learning aids, and real-world examples have made STATISTICS FOR THE BEHAVIORAL SCIENCES, 10th Edition the text selected most often by instructors for their students in the behavioral and social sciences. The authors provide a conceptual context that makes it easier to learn formulas and procedures, explaining why procedures were developed and when they should be used. This text will also instill the basic principles of objectivity and logic that are essential for science and valuable in everyday life, making it a useful reference long after you complete the course.

SECTION 13.3 | More about the Repeated-Measures Design 435

For these data, SS total

= 84,

SS within

= 52

SS between treatments

= (84 – 52) = 32

SS between subjects

= 28

SS error

= (52 – 28) = 24

The two variances in the F-ratio are

MS between treatments

5 SS between treatments

df between treatments

5 32 1 5 32

and MS error

5 SS error

df error

5 24 3 5 8

and the F-ratio is F 5 MS between treatments

MS error

5 32 8 5 4.00

Notice that the F-ratio and the t statistic are related by the equation F = t 2 (4 = 2 2 ). The

F-ratio (like the t statistic) is not in the critical region so, once again, we fail to reject H 0

and conclude that there is no significant difference between the two treatments. ■

LEARNING CHECK

1. Under what circumstances would a study using a repeated-measures ANOVA

have a distinct advantage over a study using an independent-measures

ANOVA?

a. When there are many participants available and individual differences

are large.

b. When there are few participants available and individual differences

are large.

c. When there are many participants available and individual differences

are small.

d. When there are few participants available and individual differences are

small.

2. A repeated-measures ANOVA produced an F-ratio of F = 9.00 with df = 1, 14. If

the same data were analyzed with a repeated-measures t test, what value would be

obtained for the t statistic?

a. 3

b. 9

c. 81

d. Cannot determine without more information.
