Performing One-way MANOVA in SPSS Statistics.

The one-way multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) is used to determine whether there are any differences between independent groups on more than one continuous dependent variable. In this regard, it differs from a one-way ANOVA, which only measures one dependent variable.

For Example, The pupils at a high school come from three different primary schools. The head teacher wanted to know whether there were academic differences between the pupils from the three different primary schools. As such, she randomly selected 20 pupils from School A, 20 pupils from School B, and 20 pupils from School C, and measured their academic performance as assessed by the marks they received for their end-of-year English and Maths exams. Therefore, the two dependent variables were “English score” and “Maths score“, whilst the independent variable was “School”, which consisted of three categories: “School A”, “School B” and “School C”. Follow the procedure below to run the test on SPSS.

Interpretation of Output:
1) Descriptive statistics: it provides the mean and standard deviation for the two different dependent variables, which have been split by the independent variable. In addition, the table provides “Total” rows, which allows means and standard deviations for groups only split by the dependent variable to be known.
2) Multivariate Table: The Multivariate Tests table is where we find the actual result of the one-way MANOVA. You need to look at the second Effect, labeled “School”, and the Wilks’ Lambda row (highlighted in red). To determine whether the one-way MANOVA was statistically significant you need to look at the “Sig.” column. We can see from the table that we have a “Sig.” value of .000, which means p < .0005. Therefore, we can conclude that this school’s pupils’ academic performance was significantly dependent on which p.
