3 DV and 2 IV. I also have (possibly) up to 5 covariates (demographic info, eg. age, education, ethnicity, etc.); Only 1 group. So what's the best test? (Bren)

Great question, Bren! The best analysis to use, assuming your assumptions hold up, would be a MANCOVA (which stands for a Multivariate Analysis of Covariance). It is multivariate because you have more than one dependent variable (DV) and it is an analysis of covariance because you are examining more than one independent variable (IV). This can be accomplished in SPSS by using the following drop-down menu path:

Analyze -> General Linear Model -> Multivariate

Good Luck!
