Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) of parent involvement by income
Household Income | Mean Involvement | F-value |
Up to $30,999 | 7.286 | 2.196 |
$31,000 – $70,999 | 9.000 | |
$71,000 or more | 8.500 |

The dependent variable for this ANOVA was parent involvement. This was asked on a 0-10 scale. 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”. The mean involvement for households that made up to $30,999 was 7.286. The mean involvement for households that made $31,000 – $70,999 was 9.000. The mean involvement for households that made $71,000 or more was 8.500. According to the ANOVA results (F=2.196) there is no significant difference between these means. Therefore, household income does not influence parent involvement.
