Question 1 A researcher investigated potential differences in anxiety for different levels of family conflict. Specifically, researchers hypothesised that individuals reporting low levels of family conflict would report feeling less anxiety than those reporting medium family conflict levels. Furthermore, those reporting low family conflict would report less anxiety than those in medium or high conflict families. Using the data in the file Assignment 3 data file.sav, carry out appropriate analyses to address these hypotheses. (Note that we expect you to include 2 separate contrasts in your output.) There is no need to include a discussion of the assumptions for this question. Note: your answer to this question (including the output) should not exceed two pages.

Which statistical test would be the most appropriate in answering the research question? The appropriate statistical test would be a single factor analysis of variance and planned contrasts. Write a brief report which addresses the researcher’s hypotheses (Include your SPSS output at the end of your MS-Word document as an appendix.)

A study was conducted to investigated potential differences in anxiety for different levels of family conflict. More specifically, researchers hypothesised that individuals reporting low levels of family conflict would report feeling less anxiety than those reporting medium family conflict levels. Furthermore, those reporting low family conflict would report less anxiety than those in medium or high conflict families. The mean and standard deviation of anxiety for each level of family conflict are shown in table one.

A single factor analysis of variance revealed a significant difference in the mean anxiety levels for family conflict levels, F (2,494) = 115.04, p=...
