The lab report requires you to conduct and present in APA style (at least) one of each of the types of ANOVA models covered by the tutorials, i.e.,

1. t-test: one-sample, independent, or paired
2. One-way ANOVA
3. Factorial ANOVA
4. Repeated-measures ANOVA
5. ANCOVA
6. MANOVA

You may use any dataset.

The sections for the report and their weighting will be as follows:

Introduction (plus title and abstract)	Identify research question, explain key terms/constructs, and provide major references. State clear hypotheses.	10%
Method	Provide brief participant overview, background to instrumentation, and brief procedure.	10%
Results	Structure results by the types of analyses; for each, consider recoding, descriptives, graph, table, and description of inferential and effect size results	60%
Discussion	Interpret the results, their strengths and limitations	20%	) APA style will be marked within each section. No lower or upper word limit; parsimony/succintness is ideal.
