Below are the different types of tests with descriptions that will help you determine which test(s) to use. Also, there is a
hyperlink for each test to instructional websites (including screen shots) that show you exactly what to do in SPSS as well
as how to interpret the data.
****Note that the examples of how to report the statistics on these websites ARE NOT APA-style, so do not follow
them
Each different instructional webpage has the same format. I suggest scrolling past the first large blue rectangular bar (see screen
shot below).
The information included when you you report the results of an ANOVA is slightly different than t tests
Always report 2 df
o The between-groups df= # of groups-1: dfB = (G 1)
o The within-groups df= total sample size - # of groups: dfW = N G
Ex.) 3 conditions, 5 subjects in each (15 total subjects)
F(2, 12)

o 04 small, .06 medium, .14 large.
