From SPSS to jamovi: Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA)

This comparison shows how a regression with one predictor and two dummy variables is performed in SPSS and jamovi. The SPSS test follows the description in chapter 13.3 of Field (2017), especially Output 13.1 - 13.2. It uses the data set Puppy Love Dummy.sav which can be downloaded from the web page accompanying the book.
SPSS jamovi
In SPSS you can run a regression using: AnalyzeRegression → → Linear. In jamovi you do this using: AnalysesRegressionLinear Regression.
SPSS_Menu_ANCOVA1 jamovi_Menu_ANCOVA1
In SPSS, move Happiness to the variable box Dependent and Puppy_love to the variable box Independent(s). In jamovi, move Happiness to the variable box Dependent Variable, Puppy_love to the variable box Covariates, and Low_Control and High_Control to the Factors box.
SPSS_Input_ANCOVA1_1 jamovi_Input_ANCOVA1_1
Press the Next button to create a new block of Independent(s), and move the variables Low_Control and High_Control into this box. Create a new block of independent variables using Model Builder. Press + Add New Block and move Low_Control and High_Control into Block 2.
SPSS_Input_ANCOVA1_2 jamovi_Input_ANCOVA1_2
  Open the Model Coefficients window and tick the box for Standardized estimate.

If you compare the SPSS and jamovi outputs, the results are the same. However, the output from jamovi is much clearer as it only includes the most important information. The results are found in slightly different places in SPSS and in jamovi.

In SPSS, the output table Model Summary starts with R and . The -value for model 1 shows the goodness of fit when only the covariate is included in the analysis, and the value for model 2 shows the results when the dummy variables and the covariate are included. The ANOVA table presents the sum of squares for the regression, which tells us how many units of variance the model accounts for. The most interesting table is the Coefficients table, where you can find the differences in b-*values and *β-values for the two models, as well as their significance values. In jamovi, the R *and *R²-values are found in the output table Model Fit Measures. The Sum of Squares and F-values are found in the Omnibus ANOVA Test table, which in jamovi is separated into a table for model 1 and a table for model 2. Nonetheless, the numbers appear in the same place in the tables. The Coefficients table is also divided into two tables - one for each model – in jamovi. Here the b-values are found under Estimate and the the β-values under Stand. Estimate.

The R *and *R²-values are found in the first and second column in the first output table in both SPSS and jamovi. In contrast to SPSS, jamovi splits the ANOVA and Coefficients for model 1 and model 2. Despite this, almost all the values are found in the same columns, except for the β-values, which are located before the t- and p-values in SPSS and after the t- and p-values in jamovi.

The numerical values for the model 2 statistics are identical: R = 0.54, = 0.29; b = 0.42, p < .05; β = 0.39, p < .05.

If you wish to replicate those analyses using syntax, you can use the commands below (in jamovi, just copy to code below to Rj). Alternatively, you can download the SPSS output files and the jamovi files with the analyses from below the syntax.
