Self-taught R newbie (and stats newbie) here.

I'd like to run a MANOVA test to see whether self- and peer ratings differ within teams. There are 3 peer ratings per person on a team.
My data is in a tab-delimited text file, structured as follows:

*Team*               *Person*            *Rating type*   *Rating*
Team 1                 Person A              Peer                      3
Team 1                 Person A              Peer                      2
Team 1                 Person A              Peer                      3
Team 1                 Person A              Self                        4
Team 1                 Person B              Peer                      1
Etc.

There are 520 lines in the file.


1.       What is the best way to label the factors, seeing as I would like to keep the ratings per person separate (i.e. compare peer ratings of person A only to person A's self-rating)?

2.       What is the best syntax for running the MANOVA?

Thanks very much for your help!
