Celia, If you are not approaching your analysis via multiple comparisons, and you want to compare the shift between the five groups, how do you define "shift"? Perhaps equivalently, how do you define the "typical value" in a group? Is the behavior of the data within the groups such that it is not appropriate to use one-way analysis of variance (perhaps after applying a transformation)? If you are able to use one-way ANOVA, you can take advantage of a variety of methods for assessing the differences among the group means and dealing with the related multiple comparisons.
