The recommendation is that when the Levene’s test is significant (indicating a violation of the assumption of homogeneity of variance), then use Brown & Forsythe’s test and if this is also significant, then accept and report the results of the latter. The Bartlett’s test of homogeneity of variance has largely been replaced by the Levene
Homogeneity of variance test. Follow these steps to perform the homogeneity of variance test: Select Analyze -> Compare Means -> One-Way ANOVA…. Transfer score [number of words recalled] to Dependent List:. Transfer Group Membership [group] to Factor. Click on Options and select Homogeneity of variance test. Click Continue and click OK.
Descriptive statistics: observed means, standard deviations, and counts for all of the dependent variables in all cells; the Levene test for homogeneity of variance; Box's M test of the homogeneity of the covariance matrices of the dependent variables; and Bartlett's test of sphericity. Plots Spread-versus-level, residual, and profile
