SPSS ANOVA Tutorials – Overview
ANOVA (short for “Analysis of Variance”) is a family of statistical tests for testing if 3 or more means are (all) equal.
The most common scenario tests if 3(+) groups of cases have similar mean scores on a single variable. This test is known as a one-way ANOVA.
Another basic scenario is testing whether 1 group of cases have similar means on 3(+) variables. This is known as a repeated measures ANOVA.
Last, we can compare means for multiple factors (defining either groups of cases or variables) simultaneously. We now speak of a factorial ANOVA. The simplest factorial ANOVA is a two way ANOVA which examines how two factors affect one outcome variable.

How to Run Levene’s Test in SPSS?
Levene's test evaluates if several groups of cases have equal variances on some metric variable. This is known as the homogeneity of variance assumption and is needed in ANOVA. This tutorial shows how to run it in SPSS. Read More
ANOVA – What Is It?

How to Get (Partial) Eta Squared from SPSS?
In ANOVA, we always report the F-value, degrees of freedom (df) and p for each effect -possibly just one for one-way ANOVA. P (“Sig.” in SPSS) tells us the likelihood of some effect being zero in our population. However, it doesn't tell us how strong some effect is if it is not zero; we can't ... (Read More) Read More
