Wilcoxon Signed Ranks test process
• Calculate the difference between two scores by taking one from the other
• Rank the differences giving the smallest difference Rank 1
Note: do not rank any differences of 0 and when adding the number of scores,
do not count those with a difference of 0, and ignore the signs when calculating
the difference
• Add up the ranks for positive differences
• Add up the ranks for negative differences
• T is the figure that is the smallest when the ranks are totalled (may be positive
or negative)
• N is the number of scores left, ignore those with 0 difference

2 Hinnah is interested in finding out if there is a relationship between drug taking and
aggressive behaviour. To investigate this, she puts posters up around her college
on Wednesday asking for people interested in participating in the study to attend a
meeting on Friday lunchtime. Ten participants attended her meeting and gave self-
report data on how many times they consumed drugs each week and how aggressive
they were on a scale of 0 to 100.
