Considering your dissertation research interests (and perhaps using the same IVs and DVs you identified in the discussion questions from previous modules), identify two IVs (each with 2 categories) and three DVs that are measured on continuous scales. Think of DV measures that probably are moderately correlated with each other because they are measuring different components of the same or similar concepts (e.g., three different measures of academic performance). Given these variables and design, what information would a factorial MANOVA provide you? What more would you want to know if you get significant results in the factorial MANOVA? Why would this be significant to your research? (Research support is not required for this question.)

IV would be amount of time spent in the foster care system

Category 1 would be level of care (basic, moderate, specialized, intensive)

Category 2 would be age at time of entering foster care ( 0-18)

DV would be Data on child in foster care system

Number of foster placements

Number of siblings

Level of defiant behavior
