Husbands and wives results were obtained from one multivariate 2 level regression model; however, for ease of presentation, the results are presented separately by gender.
Variables with the same superscript are significantly different in multivariate and univariate hypothesis testing.
A
Univariate hypothesis test results: p < .05.
B
Univariate hypothesis test results: p < .01.
C
Univariate hypothesis test results: p< .05.
D
Univariate hypothesis test results: p <.01.
Wives and husbands education and income were included in model as covariates (see text for details).
