Statistical Analysis Recommendation Tool

This tool is designed to help psychology students select the most appropriate statistical test for their research. By answering a few simple questions about your study—such as the number of groups, the type of data, and whether your data is paired or independent—the tool will suggest a statistical test that matches your analysis needs.

However, please keep in mind that this tool is meant as a guide and does not account for all possible scenarios. Statistical analysis is a complex and nuanced process, and there may be additional factors or assumptions that influence the best choice of test for your specific study. Always consult with your instructor, textbook, or other trusted resources to ensure that the chosen test is the most suitable for your data.

This tool will help you get started, but be sure to verify the assumptions underlying each test, check your data for normality or other conditions, and consider any other specific requirements of your research.

Good luck with your analysis, and remember: when in doubt, ask for guidance!
