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 at least 3 levels) OR a two-way ANOVA (two IVs, each with 2 levels). You will need to specify your hypothesis and customize your code based on the choice you make (i.e., delete code that is not relevant). We will run BOTH versions in the lab for illustrative purposes.

One-Way Hypothesis: We predict that there will be a significant difference in people’s level of felt companionship based on the type of pet they own (dog, cat, rabbit).

‘IV = pet type ownership’ ‘DV = companionship’

Two-Way Hypothesis: We predict that there will a significant difference in people’s level of felt companionship based on the type of pet they own (dog, cat) and their race/ethnicity (white, persons of color). We also predict that there will be a significant interaction between pet type and partipant race/ethnicity.

IV1 = Pet Type Ownership IV2 = Particpant Race DV = Companionship

4 Check Your Assumptions

I HAD TO MOVE THE FOLLOWING LINES UP FOR IT TO LET ME KNIT, RSTUDIO HAS BEEN THROWING A FIT ALL DAY ABOUT RANDOM THINGS. ## 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 an 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 2 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 Check Your Variables

# you only need to check the variables you're using in the current analysis
# even if you checked them previously, it's always a good idea to look them over again and be sure that everything is correct

5.1 Issues with My Data

Our cell sizes are very unbalanced between the pet type 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 3 level pet type variable with the one-way ANOVA. We are acknowledging this and continuing with the analysis anyway for class purposes.

We identified and removed a single outlier for the One-Way ANOVA.

[UPDATE this section in your HW.]

11 Write Up Results

11.1 One-Way ANOVA

To test our hypothesis that there will be a significant difference in people’s level of felt companionship based on the pet ownership type (dog, cat, rabbit), 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 therefore 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 = 0.002) 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 despite these issues for the purpose of this class.

We found a significant effect of pet type, F(2, 1246) = 27.54, p < 0.001, ηp2 = 0.42 (small effect size; Cohen, 1988). Posthoc tests using Sidak’s adjustment revealed that participants who own a dog (M = 2.97, SE = 0.03) reported more companionship than those who own a cat (M = 2.60, SE = 0.07) but less companionship than those who own a rabbit (M = 3.79, SE = 0.16); 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 ANOVA. Our data met most of the assumptions of the test, although our data was unbalanced, with many more people who own a dog participating in our survey (n = 1020) than those who own a cat (n = 197).

As predicted, we found a significant difference for pet type, F(1, 1195) = 28.31, p <0.001, ηp2 = 0.023 (small effect size; Cohen, 1988). As predicted, dog owners (M = 3.04, SE = 0.04) reported significantly more companionship than cat owners (M = 2.57, SE = 0.08). Contrary to our expectations, we did not find a significant main effect for race (p = 0.453).

Lastly, we found marginal support for an interaction between pet type and race (see Figure 2), F(1, 1195) = 3.43, p = 0.64, ηp2 = 0.003 (trivial effect size; Cohen, 1988). When comparing by race, people of color who own a dog (M = 3.16, SE = 0.07) reported significantly more companionship than people of color who own a cat (M = 2.52, SE = 0.14; p > 0.001), as did white dog owners (M = 2.93, SE = 0.03) compared to white cat owners (M = 2.63, SE = 0.08; p <0.001). When comparing by pet ownership, people of color who own a dog reported significantly more companionship than White dog owners (p <0.01), while people of color and White … owners reported … levels of companionship (p 0.546).
