3.6.2 Hypotheses Tests The first hypothesis of this research tries to verify if the variable Country produces an effect on the Cultural Patterns between Brazilians and Portuguese, so that the Brazilians would present a higher score for the Horizontal-Collectivism pattern than Portuguese. Using a one-way ANOVA, the main effects of Cultural Pattern between Brazilians and Portuguese will be assessed. It should be highlighted that, in this case, the Values Scale result’s instrument will be treated as dependent variables and the participant’s Country as independent variable. This hypothesis will be also tested with the help of a T-test in order to compare the two most predominant Cultural Patterns in each group of participants. The second hypothesis postulates the most preferred leadership style would be significantly different between Brazilians and Portuguese. Brazilians would prefer a leadership style more participative than Portuguese. Applying an Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), in which the Leadership Styles are the dependent variables, it is possible to measure the difference between the averages of Brazilians and Portuguese.
