Just started my PhD 6 weeks ago. PT. And I work FT so its being a bit of a challenge. I am expected to complete it in 45 months!!!

Billy I could kiss you!!! Thank you Thank you Thank you.

Of course some of them are significant but not many so I can deal with all these separately.

Where do you do your stats? I am in Scotland.

Linda

I can't say thank you Silly Billy - it sounds silly. I am Linda.

The test says test variable and then group variable and then you have to define the range. I have tried to put the title of the column B1 in the test variable and the group variable in as campus and the other way round but I get something about empty cells for one and nonsence answers for the other.

Sorry to be a pain. Was meant to have a stats to help me in this project but as this one is not a part of my PhD but something i wanted to do for work suddenly they are too busy.

Linda

Hi and thank you for your replies. I have taken advise with two stats people and have been told I need to apply the Krusal thingy test. I am looking to see if there is any significant difference in the amount of stress - measured on a scale of 1-4 - experienced by students from five different Unis. I have averaged all their scores and want to compare these. If there is no statistical diff I can then discuss them as a generalisable whole.

But - I cannot seem to make that test work right. And this is where I now need help. And everyone is too busy and I want to do this for a conference at the end of next week, smile.

So I have 30 factors B1-B10 C1-C10 D1-D10 and five campuses 1-5. What do I put in each box etc?

Linda

Unfortunately mine doesn't. And my supervisor isn't interested because this is for some research I did before starting my PhD

You up early for a round of golf? Only golfers get up this early in the morning

Can anyone direct me towards someone or somewhere when I can get simple advice on the right tests to use in SPSS?
