what statistical test should I use in SPSS for my hypotheses?

1. Participants will give higher ratings on three likert scales when a character on TV is X as opposed to Y (anova?)

2. Participants will give high ratings on the same three likert scales when a different character is A as opposed to B.

Help! We have two different independent variables and three likert scales that will be affected (hypothetically) by the two variables.

    I am not sure of my answer.

    Were you asked perform only one test or several tests?

    You can compare for each scale with character x and character y (A or B).

    If you assume multivariate normality, you may use Hotelling's T^2.

    The tests are one-tailed (not whether the scales are different or not). It asks whether scales on character x is higher than that of y.
