RE: SPSS S.O.S....

[John Kulig]

Colleen:             Do all 3 independent variables represent “between Subject” effects? If so, setting up the spreadsheet should be straightforward. Each row represents one subject. Have a separate column for each IV, with codes such as M,F is gender is an IV. If handedness were an IV, use, for instance, Left, Right, Ambi. Group assignment can be Gp A, Gp B, Gp C, and so forth (keep these labels simple, though you can play with their length and type on the “variable view” sheet). A female, left-handed, from Group C, with a score of 85 would be entered as   C1        C2        C3        C4 F          Left       Gp C     85         and so forth   Analyzing: Under Analyze menu, choose “General Linear Model” , then Univariate. Enter the DV in the dependent variable box. Enter the three IVs in the appropriate IV box (you probably have “fixed effects” IVs). If this is all you do, you’ll get 3 main effects, 3 two-way interaction terms, and the 3-way interaction term. If you are not interested in all these interactions, choose “Model” and you can specify which interaction terms to include. If you are not interested in some of the possible interactions, leave them out. Otherwise hit OK for the shortest possible path to an ANOVA table.   ============================================ John W.
