A survey study would compare five leadership attributes of three independent groups (i.e., A, B, & C). The purpose of the study is to find out if the attributes of Group A are similar to those of Group B or if they are similar to those of Group C.
The independent variables are the three groups and the dependent variables are the five leadership attributes.
The sample size of each of the three groups is 30. The sample would be a convenience, voluntary response sample. That is, it would not be a strict random sample.
The attributes would be measured on a five-point, Likert-type scale, which is defined as an equal-interval appearing scale.
What statistical method would one use to test the study’s hypotheses?
