A researcher wanted to know if people on different university courses has different personality traits. She asked people studying psychology, dram and maths to complete two dimensions of a personality test, a self-efficacy dimensions and a self-discipline one. Based on the results given in the following tables, what conclusions can be drawn? Tests of Between-Subjects Effects
a R Squared = .004 (Adjusted R Squared = .002)
B R Squared = .008 (Adjusted R Squared = .007)
Multiple Comparisons
Scheffé
Based on observed means.
* The mean difference is significant at the .05 level.
A) There are differences in personality traits among student on different courses, and the two dimensions distinguish between courses in the same way.
B) There are differences in personality traits among student on different courses, but the two dimensions do not distinguish between courses in the same way.
C) There are no differences in personality traits among student on different courses.
D) Not enough information.

The results show that there are differences in personality traits among students on different courses, as indicated by the significant between-subjects effects. However, the multiple comparisons using Scheffé tests do not show clear and consistent differences between courses, indicating that the two personality dimensions do not distinguish between courses in the same way. Therefore, the best choice is B.
