RE: ANCOVA with 3 groups
Dear Liron,

You should select all of your second-level regressors (e.g. 'Group1', 'Group2', 'Group3',  'Age', 'Gender','other1', and 'other2') and enter a contrast [1 -1 0 0 0 0 0; 0 1 -1 0 0 0 0] in order to look at any between-group differences (between the first three selected subject-effects) after controlling for your 4 covariates of no interest (the next four selected subject-effects)

Let me know if you would like me to further clarify
Best

I want to run an ANCOVA, and can't seem to find the correct contrast: I have 3 groups (two patient groups and one control group), and 4 second-level covariates (age, gender ect'). I want to know if there's any differences between the groups, after controlling for all covariatres at once (i.e. a single model, that I'll later enter into a post-hoc comparisons for group effects, if anything comes out significant). I entered both the groups and the covariates as 'second level covariates' (is that the correct way?), and I'm trying to figure out the contrast that I need to use. I couldn't figure it out from the manual or the forum... Any suggestion that you may have would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you very much!!

Liron.
