I am having trouble going through the example starting on page 468. How exactly should I enter the data into SPSS since they have multiple phases for each of the cycles. Do I use a grouping variable for the groups, cycles, and phases and then enter the outcome variables? Thanks.

If you look back through the blogs, you will find that I posted the link to all of the data sets in Howell (http://www.uvm.edu/~dhowell/methods/DataFiles/DataSets.html). This page is organized by chapters (look for tab14-12.dat). I usually ask you to enter data by hand if I think it is important for you to know. This table is a bit complicated so it would be totally reasonable to use the data Howell provides. However, if you want to learn how to enter this data by hand look at how Howell did it - then give it a try yourself. Otherwise just use his data off of the Internet.

Hope that helps,

The assignment says "...Next work through the problem starting on page 480. Report and discuss your findings (include a figure)."

The problem starts on 480. If you read through the problem it tells you to use the data from table 14.4. In table 14.4 there are six scores taken at diffent intervals. The problem asks you to calculate a difference score to evalute the change from each interval. There should be 5 difference scores...

Just read the section carefully and it should give you all of the information you need.

Hope that helps,
