We can run a dependent t-Test with 3 group designs. Design a dependent study with three groups. Make sure to note your IV and DV.
Let us assume that a researcher works for a company that is in the process of developing some new drug to treat psychological symptoms. The researcher is interested in conducting a study to determine if the drug best improves depressive, anxiety or psychotic symptoms. In this case, the drug is the independent variable and psychological symptoms is the dependent variable. The researcher creates three participant groups, one diagnosed with depression, one diagnosed with anxiety-related disorder and one diagnosed with schizophrenia. The researcher measures the severity of their symptoms before they consume the drug and after they consume the drug for a month. She then compares the differences to check if any improvement has occurred.
