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="/Users/ethanshinaver/Library/CloudStorage/OneDrive-Personal/Social Psych Lab/Research/final paper/Data/projectdata.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 3 or more levels) OR a two-way/factorial ANOVA (at least two IVs with 2 or 3 levels each). 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: There will be a significant difference in Mindfulness by people’s level of Marital Status of their parents (currently married, currently divorced, never married and together, never married each other and are not together.)

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 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 II error)
  • Homogeneity of variance should be confirmed (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$marriage5)
## 
##             are currently divorced from one another 
##                                                 733 
##                are currently married to one another 
##                                                2121 
##       never married each other and are not together 
##                                                 246 
## never married each other but are currently together 
##                                                  47
## If cross_cases() doesn't work for you, then use xtabs() instead. Fill in the code below and remove the "#" to run. Then hashtag out the cross_cases() line above.

#xtabs(~ V1 + V2, data=d)

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 (dont want levene test to be significant)

# One-Way
leveneTest(mindful~marriage5, data = d)
## Levene's Test for Homogeneity of Variance (center = median)
##         Df F value Pr(>F)
## group    3  0.5174 0.6703
##       3143

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

5.1.3.1 Run a Regression to get both outlier plots

# 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.

# One-Way
reg_model <- lm(mindful~marriage5, data = d) 

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) (equal to or higher than.5 is outlier)

5.2 Issues with My Data

Our cell sizes are somewhat unbalanced between the Marital Status group levels. A small sample size for one of the levels of our variable (n=47) slightly limits our power and may increase our Type II error rate.

Cooks Distance found three influential cases row_ids 1285, 1579, and 2130). These values are significantly high but still within the range of the mindfulness scale. Given the large sample size, these were kept in analysis.

6 Run an ANOVA

# One-Way
aov_model <- aov_ez(data = d,
                    id = "row_id",
                    between = c("marriage5"),
                    dv = "mindful",
                    anova_table = list(es = "pes"))
## Contrasts set to contr.sum for the following variables: marriage5

10 Write Up Results

10.1 One-Way ANOVA

To test our hypothesis that there will be a significant difference in people’s level of mindfulness based on the parental marital status (currently married, currently divorced, never married and together, never married each other and are not together.) we used a one-way ANOVA. Our data was somewhat unbalanced, with the “never married but currently together” group being relatively small (n = 47) compared to other groups “currently divorced” (n = 733), “currently married” (n = 2121), “never married and not together” (n = 246). This may slightly reduce the power of our test and increase the chance of a Type II error. The Cooks distance flagged three potentially influential points (row_ids 1285, 1579, 2130) but their mindfulness values were within the valid range, so we kept them. A non significant Levene’s test (p = 0.67) also indicates that our data met th assumption of homogeneity of variance.

We found a significant effect of parental marital status type, F(3, 3143) = 3.23, p < .05, ηp2 = .003 (small effect size; Cohen, 1988). Posthoc tests using Sidak’s adjustment revealed that participants whose parents were never married but are currently together (M = 4.00, SE = .12) reported higher levels of mindfulness than those whose parents are currently divorced (M = 3.67, SE = .03) (see Figure 1 for a comparison).
