well George - there might be some things to do, so to speak, depending on other things. since you said nada about the study and the variables, it is a bit hard to comment. but you may have a large sums of squares for interaction that would be of interest. you have 2 degrees of freedom for the three-level factor. is this a quantitative variable with equal injtervals like practrice time of 10 or 20 or 30 minutes, or something like that? if so, you can do some fun trend analyses of linear and quadratic trends. failing this, you can, given a significant three-level effect and no significant interaction run some kind of a post hoc test like scheffe'. overall it sounds like you could use a consultant. is that kosher for a dissertation or should the candidate know what's going on statistically. i guess that's for you and your chairman to decide! . . ================================================================= Instructions for joining and leaving this list, remarks about the problem of INAPPROPRIATE MESSAGES, and archives are available at: . http://jse.stat.ncsu.edu/ . =================================================================
