Gire (1997) studied the preferred methods of resolving conflicts, comparing people in individualistic versus collectivistic cultures. Participants
Question:
These data were analyzed by using the multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) procedure. The 2-way MANOVA yielded a significant main effect of culture F(5, 173) = 6.37, p < .001. An examination of the univariate analyses and the means suggests that Nigerians preferred negotiation to a greater extent than Canadians, while the reverse was the case on arbitration, as predicted. There was also a significant culture by type of conflict interaction, F(5, 173) = 3.84, p < .002. The univariate analyses and the means, presented in Table [15-11], reveal that significant differences occurred on three procedures- threats, acceptance of the situation, and arbitration.
Explain these results to someone who understands factorial analysis of variance but is not familiar with multivariate analysis of variance.
