Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) of family involvement by education level
| Mean of family involvement | F-value | |
| Less than High School | N/A | 11.89 |
| High School | 7.13 | |
| Some college or higher | 8.91 |
Note. P<.05*, p>.01**, p<.001***
The dependent variable for this ANOVA was the level of parental involvement. This was asked on a 0-10 scale. The independent variable for this ANOVA was the level of education. Respondents chose either, “Less than High School”, “High School”, or “Some College or Higher”. No one answered for less than High School so there is no mean. The mean for High School is 7.13 and the mean for some college or higher is 8.91. According to the ANOVA results (F=11.89), there is a significant difference between the means at the .001 level. Therefore, the educational level does influence the level of family involvement.
