How to test Normality in the Two-way ANOVA in SPSS

The main requirement of the two-way ANOVA, next to the interval or ratio level for the test variable, is normal distribution. However, not the test variable has to be normally distributed, but rather the residuals. Residuals are essentially what the model (ANOVA) predcits for your test variable compared to what your test variable actually looks like in your dataset. Despite there being four ways to test for normal distribution, Skewness & Kurtosis, 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. ⏰ Timestamps: ============== 0:00 Introduction and overview 0:26 Calculate residuals 1:29 Overview for testing 2:07 Q-Q-plot for the residuals If you have any questions or suggestions regarding checking the normal distribution for the two-way ANOVA in SPSS, please use the comment function.
