Question for my research

[kachbar]

Hello there,

I have collected data from my school.
I try to test if the trust for a organisation within my school is different for 4 different types of studies. I have tested the trust with multiple questions where people could answer 1-7 in scale to agreeableness.

How can i test if there is difference between the four studies?
I'm stuck..

You might start by taking a look at these resources, which discuss analysis methods for data like yours (commonly called "Likert data"):

• Introduction to Likert Data
• Descriptive Statistics for Likert Data
• Descriptive Statistics with the likert Package
• Confidence Intervals for Medians
• Converting Numeric Data to Categories

If that doesn't help, try using "Likert data" or "ordinal data" as keywords when searching for more guidance on the internet or in statistical manuals.
