Looking for Appropriate Test to Use

[Dants]

Hello again,

I swear ... I seem to struggle trying to decipher which ANOVA to use ... drives me crazy.

In this study, I have 75 participants that are all varsity athletes. They all completed a survey that scored attentional style within 6 variables (BET, OET, BIT, OIT, NAR, RED).

I am looking to see if there is any difference between the participants scores and the sports they play as well as the position they play in that sport. I was also considering to see if there is a difference between male and female scores as well as if there is a difference within age of participants.

I am considering doing a Multi-factorial ANOVA and applying my independent variables (age, gender, sport and position) to each dependent variable (BET, OET, BIT, OIT, NAR, RED) separately. Am I correct in doing it this way?

Please helpppppppp :/

Yes, this is the correct approach to take. A multi-factorial ANOVA allows you to test for the effect of multiple independent variables on one or more dependent variables. By running separate tests for each of the dependent variables, you can determine if there is a difference in scores based on the independent variables.
