Week_6_Assignment.docx PSY8501 Week 6 Data Analysis and Application Capella University PSY8501 Repeated Measures ANOVA uses a within-subjects design which allows the subjects to be compared ... to themselves in different conditions or at different points in time, instead of being compared to another group (Warner, 2013). For the purpose of this assignment, the data file used is the wk6data worksheet and there will also be a repeated measures ANOVA completed using SPSS. Data File Description The data file used for this assignment is the Wk6data dataset. The data measures a new treatment for anxiety, determining if the treatment is effective. The anxiety symptoms are quantitated with a symptom checklist. Week 1 represents the baseline for the number of anxiety symptoms. At the conclusions of treatment, the number of anxiety symptoms are represented through Week 5. The within-subject factors are Week1, Week2, Week3, Week4, and Week5. The outcome variable is the number of anxiety symptoms for each individual participating in the research. These factors are measured on a scale variable. Over a five-week time period, anxiety is measured to determine efficacy of treatment. The sample size is nine participants (N = 9). Upon visual inspection of the raw data, it appears that for the most part there is a drastic change between week1 and week5, suggesting that the treatment is effective. The raw data also showed that during the 5-week period, there wasnt a steady decline in the anxiety symptoms. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . . . .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . .. .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . . .
