The dependent variable for this ANOVA was encouragement of family to spend time together. This was asked on a 0-10 scale. The independent variable for this ANOVA was highest education obtained in the household. Respondents chose either, “High School”, “Some College”, or “College”. The mean encouragement for some college and college was 9. The mean encouragement for high school was 10.

Therefore, highest education obtained in the household does influence the amount of encouragement for the family to spend time together.
