Table 2. Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) of child engagement by household type
Household Income | Mean Engagement | F-value |
Less than 30,999 | 7.3 | 2.5 |
31,000 or more | 8.8 | |
Prefer not to answer | 7.0 |
Note: p<.05*, p<.01**, p<.001***
The dependent variable for this ANOVA was family involvement. This was asked on a 0-10 scale. The independent variable for this ANOVA was household income. Respondents chose between different ranges of income. The mean engagement for less than 30,999 was 7.3 out of 10. The mean engagement for 31,000 or more households was 8.8 out of 10 and prefer not to answer was 7.0 out of 10. According to the ANOVA results (F=2.5) there is no significant different between these means. Therefore, household type does not influence child engagement.
