Dependent samples t-test

We use this t-test when we have a repeated measures design such as the same sample completes a pre and post-test and we want to know if there is a difference from one test to the other.

Go to analyze, compare means, paired sample t-test

Select two variables and move into box

Click on OK

The output will give you means for each trial (or pre-post test measure) as well as the t-statistic and significance level

Let's try a few using the data below.Be sure to attach your printouts and answer the questions below.

1. First, gave a independent sample t-test for gender (IV) and pretest scores (DV)

Were there significant gender differences?How do you know? Interpret the results statistically and in words.

1. Then give a independent sample t-test for gender (IV) and posttest scores (DV)

Were there significant gender differences?How do you know? Interpret the results statistically and in words.

1. Now, give a paired (dependent) sample t-test for pretest and posttest scores.

Were there two scores significantly different?How do you know? Interpret the results statistically and in words.
