MANOVA (Multivariate Analysis of Variance) should be used when examining group differences on more than one dependent variable. It allows for the analysis of the effect of one or more independent variables on multiple dependent variables, while controlling for covariates. Factor analysis is used for reducing the number of variables by identifying underlying factors, while t-tests (both dependent and independent) are used to examine differences between two groups on a single dependent variable.
