Ok I think I got that part but I am confused with the second part

Choose and calculate the appropriate analysis to compare the anxiety levels of the participants in the CBT treatment to those in the psychodynamic treatment using posttest scores only.

Choose and calculate the appropriate analysis to compare the anxiety levels of participants in the CBT group only at pre- and posttest.

. Using these data and those from Week 6: Assignment 2, compare the outcomes for CBT and psychodynamic therapy. Note that you may use SPSS to compute any descriptive statistics you need, but you must compute the significance test by hand.
