 | | The PA independent variable was a physical attractiveness manipulation: the female defendant presented to the mock jurors was “beautiful,” “average,” or “ugly.” The second independent variable was CRIME, the type of crime the defendant committed, a burglary (theft of items from victim’s room) or a swindle (conned the male victim). |
 | | The MANOVA produced the test for a multivariate interaction by obtaining eigenvalue(s) (ratio of SSeffect / SSerror) for the weighted linear combination(s) of the dependent variables that maximized that effect. |
 | | Well, were we now to do two oneway MANOVAs, one at each level of crime, to find the multivariate effect of PA upon our DVs, those two MANOVAs would each construct two roots (weights for the DVs) that maximize the eigenvalues for their own data. |
