Question
A psychologist was interested in gauging the success of a mood manipulation during one of her experiments. She had three groups of participants who underwent different types of mood induction: disgust mood induction, negative mood induction and positive mood induction.
After the mood induction, participants were asked to endorse nine
statements relating to their mood (on a 5-point Likert scale from 1 =
disagree to 5 = agree):
(1) When you’re smiling the whole world smiles with you,
(2) I love the pretty flowers,
(3) I could never touch a dead body,
(4) I would never eat cat food,
(5) If someone served me monkey brain soup I would vomit,
(6) I feel fed up, (7) Bodily fluids are nasty,
(8) I could not drink from a glass that I’d used to catch a spider,
(9) I am a worthless piece of scum.
Part of the output is below. Which of the following statements best summarizes the output?
- TRUE: The type of mood induction had a significant effect on responses to the nine items together.
- FALSE: The type of mood induction had a significant effect on responses to more than half of the nine items.
- FALSE: The type of mood induction had a significant effect on responses to all of the nine items.
- FALSE: The type of mood induction had a significant effect on responses to at least one of the nine items.
Solution
MANOVA tests whether the independent variable (here: type of mood induction) has an effect on all the dependent variables together
- True
- False
- False
- False
