Oftentimes, our research questions seek to explore differences occurring between a number of groups. Different types of analyses are better equipped to address such inquiries, depending on the number of groups being compared and the nature of our study’s design (i.e., within- and/or between-subjects). Come join us at this workshop for a refresher on, or introduction to, commonly used statistical tests specific to group comparisons, with a focus on t-tests and ANOVAs.
