![]() ![]() The British agent discovers that some kind of diabolical international conspiracy is afoot, and soon the players all converge on Europe, where a series of races will determine who is the fastest car in the world. New to the scene is Michael Caine, as a car working for the British secret service, along with his assistant ( Emily Mortimer). Larry the Cable Guy is the voice of the rusty tow truck, Mater, who becomes central to the story, and in shrewd ways. Owen Wilson is back as Lightning McQueen, now established as one of the world's premier race cars. The whole visual atmosphere of "Cars 2" is more expansive and free than its predecessor and more of a delight to watch. The cars, as physical entities, have been reconceived as more pliable and interactive, and one gets the sense that technology - that is, movie technology - has aided in this. This time out the cars no longer seem so earthbound, so locked into being heavy hunks of metal that can barely touch. It's solid enough to stand on its own, and the car aspect is just a plus, a charming, whimsical embellishment. It's lively and packed with incident and serious consequence, and even without the cars gimmick - with a few adjustments to convert the script from cars to people - the movie would work. But "Cars 2" is a spy story taking place against an international background. The previous "Cars" was pretty much a coming-of-age drama, in which an ambitious young car ( Owen Wilson) learned life lessons. ![]() But in terms of story and atmosphere and overall feeling, "Cars 2" is a brand-new experience - and a distinct improvement. It mostly keeps the same lineup of characters and maintains the conceit of a world in which people don't exist and cars talk and have emotions. "Cars 2," the latest from Pixar, is the sequel to the 2006 "Cars," from the same studio, but it's a much different movie. ![]() ![]() ![]() In our case, it just means moving SPQ_Time1, SPQ_Time2 & SPQ_Time3 into the three slots on the right. You can drag and drop, or use the arrow button in the middle of the box. You’ve got to shift your within-subjects variables over to the Within-Subjects Variables box ensuring you maintain the correct order. Click on the Define button, which will bring up the Repeated Measures dialog blox. Okay, it’s now time to set up the within-subjects variables (at the moment SPSS knows that our within-subjects factor has three levels, but it doesn’t know which of our variables corresponds to each level). The dialog box should now look like this. ![]() And we have 3 levels, so input 3 into Number of Levels. This will bring up the Repeated Measures Define Factor(s) dialog box.Īs we noted above, our within-subjects factor is time, so type “time” in the Within-Subject Factor Name box. To start, click Analyze -> General Linear Model -> Repeated Measures. ![]() This is what we’ll test with a one-way repeated-measures ANOVA. The null hypothesis is that the mean SPQ score is the same for all levels of the within-subjects factor. The independent variable – or, to adopt the terminology of ANOVA, the within-subjects factor – is time, and it has three levels: SPQ_Time1 is the time of the first SPQ assessment SPQ_Time2 is one year later and SPQ_Time3 two years later. The average score for a person with a spider phobia is 23, which compares to a score of slightly under 3 for a non-phobic. The variable we’re interested in here is SPQ which is a measure of the fear of spiders that runs from 0 to 31. This is the data from our “study” as it appears in the SPSS Data View. Press the OK button, and your result will pop up in the Output Viewer
