The new DV formed in MANOVA is created by developing a linear equation where each measured DV has an associated weight and, when combined and summed, creates maximum separation of group means with respect to the new DV.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In MANOVA (Multivariate Analysis of Variance), the new dependent variable (DV) is indeed formed by developing a linear combination of the original measured DVs, each with an associated weight. This combination is designed to maximize the separation between group means on this new DV, facilitating the analysis of group differences on multiple dependent variables simultaneously.
