Hello!

I have conducted a SPANOVA which was insignificant since I had to treat my hypotheses as non-directional after having a look at the descriptives (sig. level was 0.3). I then conducted three t-tests which have shown me that one and two variables were significant -for two different ethnic groups treated separately since I am concerned with within groups significance-. I was then seeking to identify the variance that it explained so I could understand why the SPANOVA was insignificant. So I conducted a Varimax rotation - but my data is categorical, so is this still OK? I am not sure my method of proceeding is correct and as my research is soon due in, I really need your opinion!

Thank you!
