What is Contrast?

Like a compare and contrast essay, a contrast essay asks you to choose two or more items and ideas and write about them.  However, instead of highlighting similarities between the two things, a contrast essay will describe how they are different.  It is important to note that, in order to have an effective contrast essay, there must be some similarities or shared middle ground between the things being contrasted.  A contrast essay that focused on the differences between a roller skate and the planet Jupiter would contain a lot of contrast, but would be almost incoherent.  However, a contrast essay that focused on the differences in Earth and Jupiter would start from the point where they are similar (planets in the same solar system) and then highlight differences.

Using MANOVA to analyze math anxiety and public speaking anxiety
My suggestion would be to conduct a MANOVA. The difference between an ANOVA and a MANOVA is that whereas an ANOVA deals with one dependent variable, a MANOVA deals with two. I would also recommend a 2-way analysis. The researcher originally wanted to test whether one of the three methods of training, the traditional model, the computer model, and the video model , have any effect on math anxiety. The researcher, in other words, is playing around with three independent variables and seeing whether they have any effect on one dependent variable: Maths anxiety In this case, the researcher would be correct in choosing to employ/ use an ANOVA. However, now the researcher wants to see whether the same three independent variables have any impact on two dependent variables: 1. maths anxiety, and 2. anxiety in public speaking. Here, his statistics become more complex since he is analyzing, not one, but two completely different situations. I would therefore recommend him to use a MANOVA for doing so. I would also advise him to do a 2-way research. He does not need to do two separate one-way ANOVAs; that would make it more complex.
