S P S S Tu t o r i a l 01 Mann-Whitney U Te s t The Mann-Whitney U test is used to test for a significant differ- ence between two samples but the data either does not meet the normality assumption needed for the independent samples t-test or the variables are ordinal.

Example:

A group of students are interested in discovering if music with or without words has an impact on student rating of class experience. During class work, students in one class were played music with no words and students in the other class were played music with words. Students were asked to rate their class experience on a scale of 1 to 5 with 1 being the worst and 5 being the best. The following data was collected where 1 is for music without words and 2 is for music with words. To perform the Mann-Whitney U test in SPSS, first enter the data. Review the data entry tutorial if there are any questions about data entry. The data is entered in two columns. It is important to note that in the variable view tab, you need to set the Measure (scale of measurement) for the two vari - ables. Music Type is nominal (it is a name or label) and the Class Rating is scale (specifi- cally it is the ordinal level of measurement, review the visual learner media piece). 02 Once the data is entered, the analysis is run by going to Analyze – Nonparametric Tests – Independent Samples . The Nonparametric Tests Two or More Independent Samples window will open. There are three tabs at the top of the win- dow. It will start on the Objective tab. The default setting of Automatically compare distributions across groups should be selected. Then go to the Fields tab. 03 In the Fields tab move the Class_Rating to the Test Fields box and Musics_Type to the Groups box. Select Run . The output window will open with the Hypothesis Test Summary. To get the detailed output, you will need to double click on the Hypothesis Test Summary . A pop-up output window will open when you double click. 04 The left hand side of the viewer displays the Hypothesis Test Summary and the right- hand side provides more detailed informa - tion. According to the Mann-Whitney U test, there is a statistically significant difference based on the p-value (Exact Sig. (2 sided test)) = .013. Group 1, which listened to the music with no words (Mean Rank of 19.43), reported a higher rating of the class than the group that listened to music with words (Mean Rank of 11.57).
