Statistical Tests

We have provided some guides to help you with carrying out a number of commonly used statistical tests.
This list of statistical tests is not exhaustive.

We show you the process to carry out the test in SPSS, examples of the output that it will produce, and an example of how you could report it using the correct APA style.

If there is a test you would like to see here, please email us your suggestion.

Testing for a Difference

We can explore differences between groups in multiple ways, depending on the structure of our groups. If we divide our data between subjects (putting different people/participants in different groups) we can compare between these groups and we have a between-subjects design. If we have one participant group and we measure them multiple times, we can test if there is a difference in the repeated measurement and therefore, we have a repeated-measures design.

In some subjects, like Psychology, a repeated-measures design is called a within-subjects design.

Parametric Tests

Non Parametric Tests

Additional guides

Supporting some guides on specific statistical tests, we have made some additional tutorials on obtaining other information about variables and data sets in R.
