APA Dictionary of Psychology
contrast analysis
- comparisons between two or more groups that address specific questions about the patterning of the means of these groups.
- a focused analysis of data that is designed to determine the specific degree to which obtained data agree with predicted data (i.e., to which they support a hypothesis or theory).
