Table 2. Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) of assistance from parents by household type
| Household Type | Mean Assistance | F-value |
| Two-parent | 7.5 | 37.7*** |
| Single-parent | 7.8 | |
| Multigenerational | 1.0 |
Note: p<.05*, p<.01**, p<.001***
The dependent variable for this ANOVA was assistance from the parents. This was asked on a 0-10 scale. The independent variable for this ANOVA was household type. Respondents chose either, “two-parent”, “single-parent”, or “multigenerational”. The mean assistance for two-parent households was 7.5. The mean assistance for single parent households was 7.8 out of 10. The mean assistance for multigenerational households was 1.0 out of 10. According to the ANOVA results (F=37.7) there is a significant difference between these means. Therefore, household type does influence the amount of assistance the parent(s) give to the child.
