Task Details
To complete Assessment 4 (ANOVA Assignment) you will need to perform and interpret a range of ANOVA analyses in order to answer ten questions. The analyses must be completed using the Jamovi software. You can find the assignment questions in the folder titled “Assessment 4: ANOVA Assignment (Resources)”.
You will receive feedback on your A2: Regression Assignment prior to the due date for the A4: ANOVA Assignment. We strongly encourage you to review the feedback on your Regression assignment when it becomes available and apply relevant advice to your ANOVA assignment.
Importing Your Dataset
To import your .csv file data into Jamovi, please use the “Special Import” function, this process is outlined in the Introduction to Jamovi Tutorial. Copying and pasting your unique dataset into Jamovi is not advised. Once you have imported your dataset to Jamovi, take a moment to check the Measure types for each variable.
The ‘PETgroups’ and ‘COMPgroups’ variables should have the Measure type set to ‘Nominal’ and Data type set to ‘Text’.
The Measure type for the PuttDiffNew and Competitiveness variables is ‘Continuous’ and Data type set as ‘Decimal’.
And finally, the Measure type for ‘Gender’ must be ‘Ordinal’ and the Data Type will need to be set as ‘Integer’.
NOTE:
No data cleaning is required for the assignments in this subject: you can go ahead and assume that all of the datasets have been pre-cleaned for your convenience.
No transformations are required: if you discover that your unique dataset has non-normality or heterogeneity of variance, please ignore these issues and proceed with your analyses as if the assumptions have been met.
Structuring & Formatting Your Assignment
This assignment should be formatted as a series of short answer questions in a Word document (.doc or .docx). You have some flexibility in how to format your responses to each of the ten assignment questions, so long as your answers are in order and it is clear which answer belongs to each question. You can either copy in the assignment questions in full or just label each question as “Question 1”, “Question 2” (etc.) to structure your responses. The assignment questions/question numbering will not count towards your total word count, nor will tables, figures, or Jamovi output.
You must include any relevant Jamovi output directly below each question. You are not required to format your Jamovi output in any way, unless explicitly asked to do so. Please review the Weekly Tutorial Answers PDFs for examples of how to structure your responses and copy in the associated Jamovi output for each question.
You are only required to format your responses in APA style when the question directs you to do so (e.g. ‘report the results in APA format’, ‘report this scatterplot as a figure in APA format’). Other elements of APA formatting like title pages, page numbers, reference list, etc are not necessary and will not be assessed.
Please see the following links for guidance on how to set up APA formatted tables and figures and for some tips on formatting statistics and numbers.

Grading
Each question is worth 1 mark or 10% of your total score on the assignment. The assignment guide includes a breakdown of how the marks are awarded within each question. Many of the marks will be awarded for demonstrating that you can select and run the correct analyses in Jamovi, so please remember to paste in your Jamovi output tables, even if you are not sure how to interpret the results.
You may notice that your assignment returns a much higher similarity score than you might usually expect. Please do not panic about this, we understand that there will be a high degree of overlap among students in how you phrase your responses and therefore may encounter some coincidental overlap with other assignments.
