Analysis of variance (ANOVA) is one of the most frequently employed statistical techniques in the social sciences because it provides a flexible methodology for testing differences among means. This monograph considers the multivariate form of analysis of variance (MANOVA) and represents a logical extension of an earlier paper in this series, Analysis of Variance. It provides a unique perspective for readers seeking to understand how MANOVA works and how to interpret MANOVA analyses.
