Sorry if this is a simple question but I have designed a study in
which I gathered some incidental, opportunistic data, without really
thinking properly as to how I could analyse it. Consequently, I am now
stuck!
32 participants (16 in two groups) answered all the same 22 questions.
Subsequent to answering each question, participants indicated whether
their answer was based on a guess, a feeling or a memory. Each
participant provided 22 of these categorical ratings, thereby
presenting each participant with a percentage with which they chose
each of the three ratings. I thought initially, I could analyse the
data by using a mixed analysis of variance with 1 between and 1
within. However, of course, the observations are not independent of
one another. Moreover, they average out to 33.33% across the
within-subject. It doesn't seem like a chi-square test is a good idea
either though, as each of the 22 for each subject would be more
related to one another than any of the other observations. Does anyone
know what analysis I can use - or is it only possible to explore this
data?
Thanks for any help - it is much appreciated!
