2 Importing Data

# For HW, import the project dataset you cleaned previously this will be the dataset you'll use throughout the rest of the semester

d <- read.csv(file="Data/anova_labdata.csv", header=T)


# new code! this adds a column with a number for each row. It will make it easier if we need to drop outliers later
d$row_id <- 1:nrow(d)

3 State Your Hypothesis

Note: For your HW, you will choose 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). You will need to specify your hypothesis and customize your code based on the choice you make. We will run both versions of the test in the lab for illustrative purposes.

One-Way: We predict that there will be a significant effect of the type of pet one owns on people’s felt companionship.

Two-Way: We predict that there will significant effects of the type of pet one owns and one’s race on people’s felt companionship. We also predict that there will be a significant interaction between pet type and race.

5 Check Your Assumptions

5.1 ANOVA Assumptions

  • DV should be normally distributed across levels of the IV (we checked previously using “describeBy” function)
  • 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 (which increases chance of Type II error)
  • Homogeneity of variance should be assured (using Levene’s Test)
  • Outliers should be identified and removed – we will actually remove them this time!
  • If you have confirmed everything above, the sampling distribution should be normal.

5.1.1 Check levels of IVs

# One-Way
table(d$pet)
## 
##    cat    dog rabbit 
##    197   1020     33
# Two-Way
cross_cases(d, pet, poc)
 poc 
 poc   white 
 pet 
   cat  42 153
   dog  205 799
   rabbit  6 27
   #Total cases  253 979
# our small number of participants owning rabbits is going to hurt us for the two-way anova, but it should be okay for the one-way anova
# so we'll create a new dataframe for the two-way analysis and call it d_tw

d_tw <- subset(d, pet != "rabbit")
d_tw$pet <- droplevels(d_tw$pet)
table(d_tw$pet)
## 
##  cat  dog 
##  197 1020
# double-check any changes we made
cross_cases(d_tw, pet, poc)
 poc 
 poc   white 
 pet 
   cat  42 153
   dog  205 799
   #Total cases  247 952

5.1.2 Check homogeneity of variance

# use the leveneTest() command from the car package to test homogeneity of variance
# uses the 'formula' setup: formula is y~x1*x2, where y is our DV and x1 is our first IV and x2 is our second IV

# One-Way
leveneTest(companionship~pet, data = d)
## Levene's Test for Homogeneity of Variance (center = median)
##         Df F value  Pr(>F)  
## group    2  4.4963 0.01133 *
##       1247                  
## ---
## Signif. codes:  0 '***' 0.001 '**' 0.01 '*' 0.05 '.' 0.1 ' ' 1
# Two-Way
leveneTest(companionship~pet*poc, data = d_tw)
## Levene's Test for Homogeneity of Variance (center = median)
##         Df F value Pr(>F)
## group    3  1.2775 0.2807
##       1195

5.1.3 Check for outliers using Cook’s distance and Residuals VS Leverage plot

5.1.3.1 Run a Regression to get these outlier plots

# use this commented out section below ONLY IF if you need to remove outliers
 #to drop a single outlier, use this code:
 d <- subset(d, row_id!=c(1108))

# to drop multiple outliers, use this code:
# d <- subset(d, row_id!=c(1108) & row_id!=c(602))


# use the lm() command to run the regression
# formula is y~x1*x2 + c, where y is our DV, x1 is our first IV, x2 is our second IV.
reg_model <- lm(companionship ~ pet, data = d) #for One-Way
reg_model2 <- lm(companionship ~ pet*poc, data = d_tw) #for Two-Way

5.1.3.2 Check for outliers (One-Way)

# Cook's distance
plot(reg_model, 4)

# Residuals VS Leverage
plot(reg_model, 5)

5.1.3.3 Check for outliers (Two-Way)

# Cook's distance
plot(reg_model2, 4)

# Residuals vs Leverage
plot(reg_model2, 5)

5.2 Issues with My Data

Our cell sizes are very unbalanced between the group levels. 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 was significant for our three-level pet type variable. We are ignoring this and continuing with the analysis anyway for this class.

We identified and removed a single outlier.

[UPDATE this section in your HW.]

11.1 One-Way ANOVA

To test our hypothesis that there would be a significant effect of type of pet ownership on people’s companionship, we used a one-way ANOVA. Our data was unbalanced, with many more people who own a dog participating in our survey (n = 1020) than who own a cat (n = 197) or rabbit (n = 32). This significantly reduces the power of our test and increases the chances of a Type II error. We also identified and removed a single outlier following visual analysis of Cook’s Distance and Residuals VS Leverage plots. A significant Levene’s test (p = .002) 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 pet type, F(2, 1246) = 27.54, p < .001, ηp2 = .042 (large effect size; Cohen, 1988). Posthoc tests using Sidak’s adjustment revealed that participants who own a dog (M = 2.97, SE = .03) reported more companionship than those who own a cat (M = 2.06, SE = .07) but less companionship than those who own a rabbit (M = 3.79, SE = .16); participants who own a rabbit reported the highest amount of companionship overall (see Figure 1 for a comparison).

11.2 Two-Way ANOVA

To test our hypothesis that the type of pet one owns and one’s race would impact people’s felt companionship 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 people who own dogs participating in our survey (n = 1020) than those who own cats (n = 197).

As predicted, we found a significant main effect for pet type, F(1, 1195) = 28.31, p < .001, ηp2 = .023 (small effect size; Cohen, 1988). As predicted, dog owners (M = 3.04, SE = .04) reported significantly more companionship than cat owners (M = 2.57, SE = .08). Contrary to our expectations, we did not find a significant main effect for race (p = .453).

Lastly, we found a marginal support for an interaction between pet type and race (see Figure 2), F(1, 1195) = 3.43, p = .064, ηp2 = .003 (trivial effect size; Cohen, 1988). When comparing by race, people of color who own dogs (M = 3.16, SE = .07) reported significantly more companionship than people of color who own cats (M = 2.52, SE = .14; p < .001), as did White dog owners (M = 2.93, SE = .03) compared to White cat owners (M = 2.62, SE = .08; p < .001). When comparing by pet ownership, people of color who own dogs reported significantly more companionship than White dog owners (p = .002), while people of color and White cat owners reported similar levels of companionship (p = .546).
