// Mixed ANOVA in SPSS - checking normality assumption //
One of the many requirements of the mixed ANOVA. For the mixed ANOVA the dependent variable per group for each point in time needs to be approximately normally distributed.
Despite there being three ways to test for normal distribution, the Shapiro-Wilk-test, a histogram or a Q-Q-plot, I will only show the latter for the following reason: As with all analytical tests, large samples have more power and will “find” significant deviations from normal distribution, even if those deviations are negligible. Therefore, caution is advised when blindly trusting a p-value.
Please refer, among many other publications, to Lantz, B. (2013). The large sample size fallacy. Scandinavian journal of caring sciences, 27(2), 487-492.
Eventually, put emphasis on the plots, mainly a histogram or a q-q-plot. I prefer the latter since one can manipulate the histogram with a proper "bin width".
Final note: a z-standardization before plotting a histogram or q-q-plot is optional. You will only see a slightly different histogram (reminder of the bin width) with less cliffs on the inside. The q-q-plot is not affected, hence my advise to use this as a test for normal distribution.
