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.
