Dependant variable modelled in each column is response to the respectively labelled statement below. Responses to each question are standardised to have a mean of zero and standard deviation of one. P value of likelihood ratio (LR) test of interaction between age and gender presented in last row with interaction included if p value < 0.05. Standard errors in parentheses. Level of statistical significance denoted by *(10%), **(5%) and ***(1%). All models also include controls for marital status, being a parent, employment status, income bands, Country of birth, parent’s country of birth, ATSI and health condition or disability over past 6 months—full results available in Supplementary Materials
