Table 3. Analyses of Chi-square of amount of time talked with child by ability to identify color.
Ability to identify color Chi-square
Time talked with child Yes Some of them 1.266
Yes 63 9
No 9 0
Note: p<.05*, p<.01**, p<.001***
The dependent variable for this Chi-square test was the child’s ability to identify colors. Respondents chose either, “yes”, or “some of them”. The independent variable for this Chi-square was the amount of time that participants talked with their child. Respondents chose either, “yes”, or “no”. The results of Chi-square (R=1.226) indicate that there is no significant difference between categories. Therefore, the child’s ability to identify colors was not affected by the increased amount of time the parents talked with them.
