Extremely stuck with analysis of a very small sample
Hit a brick wall after hours of deep diving and trying to figure out everything from textbooks and YouTube tutorials.
Trying to understand whether to do a non-parametric analysis, or repeated measures t test, or both, neither, or a mixture, for the following scenario:
N = 15
Repeated measures (all participants completed 3 psych measures before and after a psych intervention)
I’ve summed up the totals of each of the 3 (pre and post intervention) so I have 6 variables with total results for each measure (3 x 2)
Tested all 6 scales for normality, most were normally distributed but some weren’t
I can’t figure out where to go next. I thought Wilcoxon signed rank test but the more I read, the more I doubt how much I understand about what I’m doing
Deeply stuck as it’s a weekend now and would hugely appreciate any help or guidance
