Continuous Variable and ANOVA

Salbod

Dear Friends,

                I keep getting different results when I try to demonstrate that ANOVA gives the same results as Regression. I am using a continuous predictor; I’m not sure whether I specified the correct analysis in UNIANOVA.   

 

The outcome variable is a scale score (Scale-Continuous). The two predictors are Gender (Dichotomy) and Age (Continuous) .

 

I had no problem  with the regression. I centered age; DEPENDENT=scale; METHOD=ENTER gender age gender*age .

 

However, I’m not sure about the ANOVA. Here is my syntax:

UNIANOVA Scale BY Gender WITH Age

  /METHOD=SSTYPE(3)

  /INTERCEPT=INCLUDE

  /PRINT=DESCRIPTIVE

  /CRITERIA=ALPHA(.05)

  /DESIGN= Gender Age Gender*Age.

 

Any suggestions or references will be greatly appreciated.

 

Many thanks in advance for your help,

Re: Continuous Variable and ANOVA

Burleson,Joseph A.

It would depend on how you structured your regression. Could you print that syntax?

 

Notice that you are using Type III ANOVA. The regression to match that would be to have the 2 main and the interaction effect all in the same block.
