Note.
a
The main effects of education were significant for anger (p < .05) and sadness (p < .03). Post hoc comparisons (with Tukey's adjustment) indicate significant differences between those with less than a high school education and those with a high school education.
b
The main effects of Poverty Group on sadness and nervousness were significant (ps < .05). For nervousness, post hoc comparisons (with Tukey's adjustment) indicate marginally significant differences between those in poverty group 1 vs. 4 (p < .07). For sadness, post hoc comparisons (with Tukey's adjustment) indicate marginally significant differences between those in poverty group 1 vs. 3 (p < .07).
