hello
i have a question concerning a mixed between (2 levels) / within (3 levels)-subjects anova and would be happy, if anybody could help me.
basically i am interested in two simple main effects or contrasts:
a) the simple main effect of the between factor on one of the three levels of the within-factor
b) the contrast comparing two levels of the within factor in one of the two levels of the between-factor
when i calculate this with spss and the /emmeans-commands for simple main effects
a) /emmeans=tables(between*within)compare(between) and
b) /emmeans=tables(between*within)compare(within)
i get both comparisons with both p-levels i am interested in (pairwise comparisons), but i in case b) where there are three comparisons due to the 3 levels of the factor, i do not now how to write up the results. the f-value and the degrees of freedom i get for the between-level as a whole (multivariate tests). but i am only interested in the comparison of two within-levels on that between-level. what values do i have to report then?
i would be very happy if somebody could answer this question!
thank you very much, danih
