General Linear Model
Univariate
1. In the
Dependent Box put
over the variable that you are measuring (should
be quantitative)
2. In the
Factors box, move
over the grouping variables, factors are categorical
3. In the
Covariate box put
quantitative variables that are related to the
dependent variable.
(advanced option)
4. The
Plots button will let
you graph the analysis, make sure you put one
each of the grouping variables on the X-Axis, (Horizontal
Axis)
and add them
then put one of the grouping factors on the X-axis (Horizontal
Axis) and the other as separate lines and add that.
5. Click Options, Then Select:
Descriptive
Statistics,
Estimates of
Effect Size, and
Observed Power
If you want
the St. Error or Confidence Intervals, move the grouping variables
and/or the interaction
to the left.
6. The output will give you 3 or 4 boxes
1. The first box gives you the
levels
of the variables you asked for and their N
2. The second box gives you the
descriptive
statistics for each of the specified levels:
The first variable, labeled Dependent, is the actual values you will
see, as well as the
Std. Deviations and N
The first variable across the top is the first grouping variable.
The second variable is the second grouping variable.
The means,
Std. deviations, and N's are the dependent variable for each of these
the different groups.
The first grouping variable is split up into rows. In the first
row, the number on the left refers to the level of the first grouping
variable,
the numbers on
the right refer to the levels of the second grouping variable.
The Total refers to the all the different levels of the first group.
The following rows are for the different levels of the first grouping
variable.
The very last row includes the totals for the second grouping
variable. The levels of that variable are defined on the right.
All levels of
the first group are included in the totals.
3. The third box called
Tests of Between-Subjects Effects
includes your F-values and df's.
The first variable, labeled Dependent, is the actual values you will
see.
Rows:
Corrected
Model- we ignore
Intercept row- we
ignore
The next rows will be your
grouping variables, followed by the interactions.
Error row- has the degrees of
freedom that we use
Total- we
ignore
Corrected
Total row- we ignore
Columns:
Type III Sums squares, we ignore
Degrees of Freedom is in the Error row.
Mean Square we ignore.
F- contains the
F-Value that has been calculated
Sig- contains the
Significance Level
Partial Eta Squared- is the
Effect Size (.3 is small .5 is
medium .8 is large, this value can go over 1.0)
Noncent Parameter.- we ignore this
Observed Power-
The Power, 1.0 is the highest
4. The last box, Estimated
Marginal Means, will contain the Means, Std. Error and Confidence
Intervals for the grouping
variables and the interaction, if you selected it under
Options.
