The dependent variable (v6) for this ANOVA was engagement of the child. This was asked on a 0-10 scale with 10 being extremely engaged and 0 not being engaged at all. The independent variable (v32) for this ANOVA was race/ethnicity. Respondents chose either, “white”, “black”, “multiracial”, or “other”. The mean engagement for children with white parents was 6.125 out of 10. The mean engagement for children with black parents was 7.22 out of 10. The mean engagement for children with multiracial parents was 10.00 out of 20. The mean engagement for children with parents of other races/ethnicities was 6.00 out of 10. According to the ANOVA results (F= 3.80) there is no significance found. Therefore, race/ethnicity does not influence child engagement.My independent variable was recoded into 4 groups that were Black, multiracial and other. The previous categories were Latino/Hispanic, White, African-American, Asian, Pacific Islander, Native American, Middle Eastern, Multiracial or Other.
