Advanced ANOVA/Data/LEQ

The LEQ dataset provides a large (N > 3000), moderately complex dataset based on the Life Effectiveness Questionnaire for analysis of group differences (e.g., for the assessment exercise).

Independent variables

Possible independent variables include:

1. Gender (studsex)
2. Age (ageyears)
3. Any of the dependent variables listed below could be recategorised (e.g., into low-high) and used as IVs.

Dependent variables

There are two main types of dependent variables and/or within-subjects factors which can be used.

Factor

There are eight "life effectiveness" factor scores, plus an overall (average) life effectiveness score per participant. Each of these is each measured on up to four occasions (T0, T1, T2, T3).

Construct	Time 0	Time 1	Time 2	Time 3
Time Management	timeman0	timeman1	timeman2	timeman3
Social Competence	soccomp0	soccomp1	soccomp2	soccomp3
Achievement Motivation	achvmot0	achvmot1	achvmot2	achvmot3
Intellectual Flexibility	intflex0	intflex1	intflex2	intflex3
Emotional Control	emotcnt0	emotcnt1	emotnct2	emotcnt3
Task Leadership	taskled0	taskled1	taskled2	taskled3
Active Initiative	aiinti0	aiiniti1	aiiniti2	aiiniti3
Self Confidence	selfcon0	selfcon1	selfcon2	selfcon3
Overall	totfact0	totfact1	totfact2	totfact3

Time

The Time administration periods were T0, T1, T2, and T3, with an outdoor education intervention program between T1 and T2:

1. Time 0: Baseline, pre-program
2. Time 1: First day of program (program start)
3. Time 2: Last day of program (program end)
4. Time 3: Followup (3 to 6 months after the program end)
