The dependent variable for this ANOVA was engagement. This was measured on a scale of 0-10, where 0 is little enjoyment and 10 is high enjoyment. Respondents were asked to pick their highest achieved level of education, these were then sorted and summarized into “less than college”, “some college”, and “bachelor’s degree or more”. The mean enjoyment for less than college was 8.143. The mean enjoyment for some college was the highest at 8.667. The mean enjoyment for bachelor’s degree or more waws the lowest, at 6.125. According to the results of the ANOVA test, the F-Value was found to be 0.8231, meaning that there is no significance. Therefore, level of education does not impact familial enjoyment.
