The P-value in statistical hypothesis testing is the probability of obtaining test results
at least as extreme as the results actually observed, under the assumption that the
null hypothesis is correct. In SPSS, the P-value is typically displayed in the output
tables when you conduct statistical tests such as t-tests, ANOVA, regression, etc.
The P-value helps determine the significance of the results. A commonly used
threshold is 0.05; if the P-value is less than 0.05, you reject the null hypothesis,
indicating that your results are statistically significant
Validity refers to the extent to which a test measures what it claims to measure. In
SPSS, validity can be assessed through different types of validity tests:
- Construct Validity: Ensuring the test measures the concept it intends to measure.
- Content Validity: Ensuring the test covers the entire range of the concept.
- Criterion-Related Validity: Comparing the test with other measures or outcomes
already considered valid.
The output will include tables showing the main effects and interaction effects of the
factors on the dependent variable. The significance of these effects is determined by
the P-values in the "Tests of Between-Subjects Effects" table.
These results help in understanding whether and how the factors independently and
together influence the dependent variable.
