# 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/mydata.csv", header=T)
# new code! this adds a column with a number for each row. it makes it easier when we drop outliers later
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 2 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.
One-Way: We predict that there will be a significant effect of gender on maturity, as measured by the Markers of Adulthood scale.
4 Check Your Variables
# you only need to check the variables you're using in the current analysis
# although you checked them previously, it's always a good idea to look them over again and be sure that everything is correct

5 Check Your Assumptions
5.1 ANOVA Assumptions
- 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 about, the sampling distribution should be normal. (For a demonstration of what the sampling distribution is, go here.)

5.2 Issues with My Data
Our cell sizes for gender are unbalanced. A small sample size for one of the levels of our variable limits our power and increases our Type II error rate.
Levene’s test is significant for our three-level gender variable. We are ignoring this and continuing with the analysis anyway, but in the real world this is something we would have to correct for.

9 Run Posthoc Tests (One-Way)
Only run posthocs if the test is significant! E.g., only run the posthoc tests on gender if there is a main effect for gender.

10.1 One-Way ANOVA
To test our hypothesis that there would be a significant effect of gender on maturity, we used a one-way ANOVA. Our data was unbalanced, with many more women participating in our survey (n = 2298) than men (n = 781) or non-binary and other gender participants (n = 54). This significantly reduces the power of our test and increases the chances of a Type II error. A significant Levene’s test (p = .024) also indicates that our data violates the assumption of homogeneity of variance. This suggests that there is an increased chance of Type I error. We continued with our analysis for the purpose of this class.
We found a significant effect of gender, F(2,3130) = 8.47, p < .001, ηp2 = .005 (small effect size; Cohen, 1988). Posthoc tests using Sidak’s test revealed that women showed higher maturity than men and non-binary and other gender participants, while men also showed higher amounts of maturity than non-binary and other gender participants (see Figure 1 for a comparison).
