Your explanation of your design is incorrect. You have just 1 DV (not 3) and 2 IVs (not 1). Your IVs are trait
and condition
. You also appear to have measured the same individual under multiple conditions, which suggests that you need a linear mixed-effects model with a random intercept (and possibly slope) for individual
.
The simplest model that you would be appropriate for this problem is (in lmer
syntax ):
lmer(DV ~ trait + condition + (1|individual))
Of course, you may want to consider whether there could be interactions between trait and condition, and differences in how individuals
respond to changes in condition
