My Null hypothesis

• The interaction of gender and social media usage does not significantly affect loneliness in college students.

My Alternative hypothesis.

• The interaction of gender and social media usage has a significant effect on loneliness in college students.

The Analysis indicate sufficient evidence to support the claim that there is a

significant main effect of social media use on loneliness, F (2, 54) = 188.461,

p

The The analysis indicate sufficient evidence to support the claim that there is a

significant main effect of gender on loneliness, F (1, 54) = 25.074, p

The analysis also indicate not sufficient evidence to support the claim that there

is an interaction effect between social media use and gender on loneliness,

F (2, 54) =.117, p =.890 >.05.

1. How can I draw a conclude from the analysis? Is the above hypothesis supported?

2. How can I suggest what would be the next steps, if this were my research project?

3. How would a follow up tests be conducted?

4. How would I predict what would the follow-up tests indicate?
