2 Importing Data

# import the dataset you cleaned previously
# this will be the dataset you'll use throughout the rest of the semester
# use ARC data
d <- read.csv(file="data/eammi2_finalREAL.csv", header=T)

# for the HW, you may or may not need to use the code below this comment
# check to see if you have a variable called 'X' or 'ResponseId' in your data
names(d)
## [1] "gender"       "marriage5"    "support"      "belong"       "moa_role"    
## [6] "moa_maturity"
# if you do have 'X' or 'ResponseId' (aka your ID variable) then DELETE THE CODE BELOW
# if you don't have those variables, keep the code and run it
d$row_id <- 1:nrow(d)

3 State Your Hypothesis

Note: You can chose to run either a one-way ANOVA (a single IV with more than 3 levels) or a two-way/factorial ANOVA (at least two IVs) for the homework. You will need to specify your hypothesis and customize your code based on the choice you make. I will run both versions of the test here for illustrative purposes.

Two-Way: We predict that there will significant effects of gender identity (gender) and parent’s marriage status (marriage5) on percieved social support (support). We also predict that gender and parent’s marriage status will interact and that women with parents who are anything except currently married will report significantly lower levels of percieved social support.

5 Check Your Assumptions

5.1 ANOVA Assumptions

Assumptions checked below:

  • DV should be normally distributed across levels of the IV
  • All levels of the IVs should have equal number of cases and there should be no empty cells. Cells with low numbers decrease the power of the test (increase change of Type II error)
  • Homogeneity of variance should be assured
  • Outliers should be identified and removed

If you have confirmed everything else…

  • The sampling distribution should be normal. (For a demonstration of what the sampling distribution is, go here.)

5.1.1 Check levels of IVs

# check your categorical variables and make sure they have decent cell sizes
# they should have at least 5 participants in each cell
# but larger numbers are always better

#table(IV2)
#cross_cases(d, IV1, IV2)

# use the lm() command to run the regression

# Residuals vs Leverage
plot(reg_model2, 5)

5.2 Issues with My Data

We are way below the 0.5 cutoff for the cook’s distance test.

leveneTest came out as not significant so that’s all good.

In the residual vs leverage the red line hugged the dotted line well.

Our cell sizes are very unbalanced especially for gender. A small sample size for one of the levels of our variable limits our power and increases our Type II error rate.

10.1 Two-Way ANOVA

#summerize hypothesis To test our hypothesis that gender and parent’s marriage status would impact support and would interact significantly, we used a two-way/factorial ANOVA. Our data met most of the assumptions of the test, although our data was unbalanced, with many more women participating in our survey (n = 1004) than men (n = 195). There were no noticable outliers on the residuals vs leverage plots.

As predicted, we found a significant main effect for gender, REPORT STUFF FROM ANOVA- F(1, 3018) = 15.45, p < .001, ηp2 .01 (small effect size; Cohen, 1988). As predicted, women reported significantly more support than men. As predicted, people with married parents reported significantly more support than people with not married parents- F(1, 3018) = 22.34, p < .001, ηp2 .01 (small effect size; Cohen, 1988)

Lastly, we did not find a significant interaction between gender and parent’s marriage (p=.627).
