Interpreting MANOVA Results

Swetal Sindhvad
Hi,
Can anyone shed some light on SPSS Manova results? What are the main
elements to be looked at along with significance of F statistic?

Also, why would one run individual ANOVA for each independent variable
as a follow up analysis? Isn't the objective of MANOVA to reduce type
I error?

Thank you!

The answer to your second question is that the protection against Type I
error comes from the significance test for the initial MANOVA. You would
only run individual ANOVA for each IV if the initial MANOVA is significant.
