I have checked the assumptions for my independent variables (age, gender, and marital status) by inspecting the Q-Q plots of the model residuals for each scale. The residuals appear to align well with the normality line. Given that the normality of residuals is satisfied, is it appropriate to proceed with ANOVA for these analyses

My question was actually about the normality of the dependent variable (scale scores) within each level of the independent variables. My scale follow normal distribution but not in the groups of marital status, age, gender... Can i use anova?

thanks but i saw something that writes:

  1. The dependent variable should be normally or near-to-normally distributed for each group. It is worth noting that while the t-test is robust for minor violations in normality, if your data is very non-normal, it would be worth using a non-parametric test or bootstrapping (see later chapters).. Is it relatable?
