A post hoc test “…compares each group with the every other group so you can see where the significance in overall F is coming from” (Adams and Lawrence, 2015, p.338). For each row comparison to have a significant F value, the difference between any two row means should have been greater than a 6.22. For there to be a significant F value for the columns, the difference between any two column means should have been greater than 11.38. In addition, when you looked at the cells, there should have been a difference of 19.71 between the means of any two
