Q1) Let's further suppose that there was good interrater reliability on these frequency counts of behaviours and that they are interval/ratio level of measure, normally distributed, and independent observations.
i) Enter data into an SPSS worksheet-one column for each variable (group membership, A; dependent variable, Y; and covariate, Xc).
ii) Run one-way ANOVA to compare mean levels of Y across groups on A factor (without the covariate) and also one-way ANOVA to compare mean levels of Xc, covariate, across groups on A factor (to see if scores on covariate differ across treatment groups).
