I'm curious whether there's an interaction between participant sex and response to this ad. My DV "interest" is continuous. My IVs are: "sex" (2 levels, coded 0 and 1) and "adcontent" (the manipulation; coded as 0 (control), 1, and 2). Here is my code:

In a nutshell, the tests for the two main effects in the ANOVA output do not correspond to the tests you get by default using dummy variables with -regress- followed by -test- (even though, in terms of the fitted values, the two models are identical). The UCLA Statistical Consulting Group has an FAQ on this:
