Solved – How to analyse data with 2 independent variables and 2 dependent variables

multiple regressionmultivariate analysis

Im confused about what to do. I was thinking of running two seperate multiple regressions with a DV in each.. its after this, that I'm stuck. How do I see what effect the two DV's have combined? Or am I going about the whole thing wrong. Help!

My IV's are gender and group.

My DV's will be scores on two seperate psychometric tests (likert scales)

I hope to have at least 100 people in each group (3 groups) so sample size will be roughly 300.

Are you interested in examining the correlation between the dependent variables in the same model? I can't speak to the multiple independent variables part of the question, but you could investigate using a linear mixed model with multiple response variables (if your data will be longitudinal). I don't know of a website (I'm sure there is stuff out there, I just don't have a reference), but the book by Jeffrey Long, 'Longitudinal data analysis for the behavioral sciences using R' may be of use. Chapter 13 (p 501) has a section on models with multiple dv's.
