10: A study compared the felt intensity for unrequited love among three groups: Fifty individuals who were currently experiencing unrequited love, fifty who had previously experienced unrequited love and described their experiences retrospectively, and fifty who had never experienced unrequited love but described how they thought they would feel if they were to experience it. Is there a significant difference in felt intensity among groups? What statistical analysis would be used for this scenario I thought a Krystal-Wallis right or wrong ?

Solution
We are comparing three group means.
Statistical analysis based on how we are measuring the outcome variable.
If the felt intensity is measured in ratio or interval scale and follows normal distribution, then
ONEWAY ANOVA should be used.
If the felt intensity is measured in ordinal scale( in ranks), nonparametric procedure Kruskal- Wallis test should be used.
