Table 2. Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) of parent involvement on household income
Household Income | Mean Involvement | F-value |
Low income | 9.0 | 0.1876 |
High Income | 9.2 |
The dependent variable for this ANOVA was parent involvement on household income. This was asked on a range scale of less than $10,000 to $91,000. The independent variable for this ANOVA was household income. Respondents chose either, less than $10,000, $10,000 – $30,999, $31,000 – $50,999, $51,000 – $70,999, $71,000 – $90,999,$ 91,000 or more, or prefer not to answer. These variables were recoded into low- and high- income categories. The mean engagement for low household income for less than $10,000 – $50,999 was 9.0 and the mean engagement for high income $51,000 or more was 9.2. According to the ANOVA results (F=0.1876) there is no significant different between these means. Therefore, household income does not influence parent involvement.
