Can you do an ANOVA with nominal data?
The independent variable in ANOVA must be categorical (either nominal or ordinal). The dependent variable must be scale (either interval or ratio). However, it is possible to recode scale variables to categorical and vice versa in order to perform ANOVA. While this is a common practice in many social sciences, it is controversial. I have also seen studies where ordinal data is treated as scale in ANOVA. Personally, I do not endorse either practice as they are tailoring the data to fit the test instead of the proper method of selecting a test that fits the data.
