Hi Since ANOVA handles any number of levels of a factor (2, 3, 7, 24? …), ANOVA need make no adjustment to accommodate more complex models of human sexual orientation. It is the researcher who must decide what is the appropriate number of levels and expected pattern of results, all of which is happily handled by ANOVA.
To further complicate matters, there is a growing literature on Asexuality that might be relevant here, depending on how one is defining the different levels of the sexual orientation factor. That is, if it is defined by the targets of people’s sexual attraction, then clearly Asexuality needs to be accommodated.

(1) What is the dependent variable and what is the reason for investigating its association with gender? (2) From your description, it appears that there is a second independent variable, with two levels. What is this variable and what are the levels? (3) LGBT is an acronym with four letters (some would add Q), but you only include 3 levels for gender in your proposed design. Which group are you choosing to offend? Thank you for any clarification you can provide.

Currently the gender variable N2 male/female but with LGBT subjects coming into the subject pool we may be lookimg not at a 2x2 design but a 3x2 design.Of course ANOVA measures simple,main,and interaction effects.Those analyses would be very interestingWith LGBT a subset of the gender paradigm,when does the he or the she kicks in. michael daytona beach.florida 'going beyond where no tipster has gone before.' ________________________________ [http://static.avast.com/emails/avast-mail-stamp.png]<http://www.avast.com/> This email is free from viruses and malware because avast!
