This paper evaluates three methods for assessing “differential stability” These methods are Graphical Analysis, Early vs. Late Correlational ANOVA, and the Lawley Test of Correlational Equality. It is recommended that Graphical Analysis be the method of first choice with the Early vs. Late method utilized only where there is a need for formal confirmation.
