Nan Sook Park and her colleagues (2012) investigated racial/ethnic differences in predictors of self-rating health and the use of sociocultural resources. Their data is based on the Survey of Older Floridians, a statewide sample of white, African American, Cuban, and non-Cuban Hispanic seniors.
We present ANOVA results for two sociocultural resources. Social support was measured with the question: In times of trouble, can you count on at least some of your family and friends? (1-hardly ever, 2-some of the time, and 3-most of the time). Religious attendance was measured according to the scale: 1-never or almost never to 5-more than once a week. Mean scores are presented for each racial/ethnic group, along with the standard deviation in parentheses.

***P Review each measure of sociocultural resource and determine whether the null hypothesis would be rejected. Set alpha at .05 for each.
