Solved – How to carry out repeated measures ANOVA

repeated measuresspss

I have the following data:

IV = 2 levels (Experimental Group + Control Group).

DV = I'm using signal detection variables i.e. (Hits, CRs, FAs & Misses)

Both groups were tested twice so therefore I have 2 sets of DVs for each group (i.e. Hits 1 & 2, CRs 1 & 2) and so on.

I want to compare between-group differences as well as within subject differences on both tests. How do I carry a repeated measures analysis?

Thanks!

OK, you have variable GROUP with 2 values and dependent variables HIT1 HIT2 CR1 CR2 FA1 FA2 MISS1 MISS2. I assume that the DVs are all interval (scale) measurement level and approximately normal distribution.

You go to General Linear - Repeated Measures menu. Enter within-subject factor name TIME with 2 levels. Enter 4 measures names: HIT, CR, FA, MISS. Press Define, allocate your DVs properly in Within-subject variables field, move GROUP in Between-subject factors field. If you Paste your syntax you will get this

GLM
  hit1 hit2 cr1 cr2 fa1 fa2 miss1 miss2 BY group
  /WSFACTOR = time 2 Polynomial
  /MEASURE = hit cr fa miss
  /METHOD = SSTYPE(3)
  /CRITERIA = ALPHA(.05)
  /WSDESIGN = time
  /DESIGN = group .

Now you may run your analysis. Find within-subject (TIME) effects and interaction effect (TIME*GROUP) in table Univariate tests. Find effect of GROUP alone in table Test of Between-subject effects.

There are also other tables, including Multivariate effects, which I won't comment on in this pretty rough instruction. Good luck.
