ANOVA

Table 2. Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) of child spend time on the project by household type 

Household Type Mean of child involvement  F-value 
Multigenerational 2.0 0.165
Single parent 3.2  
Two-parent 2.6 

Note: p<.05*, p<.01**, p<.001**

The dependent variable for this ANOVA was how much time a child spends on the project. Respondents chose either less than or equal to 10 minutes, 11-20 minutes, 21-30 minutes, and more than 30 minutes. The independent variable for this ANOVA was the household type. Respondents choose either, “two-parent”, “single-parent” or “multigenerational.” The mean of child involvement for two-parent and single-parent households was 2.6 and 3.2. The mean for child involvement for multigenerational households was 2.0. According to the ANOVA results (F=0.165), there is no significant difference between the means. Therefore, household type does not influence child involvement.
