Note.

^†

signifies that the variable violated the homogeneity of variance assumption, tested using Levene’s Test. These variables are only considered significant if p ≤ .01.

^**

means differ at p ≤ .01,

^***

p < .001. Across ANOVAs, sample size for single parent families ranged from 156 – 160 families and 562 – 578 for two parent families.
