I have the independent variable "music tempo" that can take multiple quantitative values (e.g., 90 BPM, 100 BPM, and 110 BPM). My dependent variable is "length of the music" (needed to feel absorbed by it) in seconds. However, I also gave the option to my participants to say that they needed "MORE" time to feel absorbed or to say that they would "NEVER" be absorbed by this type of music. Therefore, the dependent variable "length of the music" can take quantitative and qualitative values. Does anyone know how to analyse this variable? How can i make an ANOVA to see whether there are differences in the length of the music depending on tempo with this type of dependent variable?
I think an option would be to analyse the quantitative and qualitative answers of the dependent variable separately. However, if I do this i lose a lot of data, because some participants answered with a time in seconds for one tempo, but with "MORE" or "NEVER" in other tempos.
Thank you in advance!
