A one-way between-groups analysis of variance (ANOVA) was performed to determine whether "How Close One Feels to Blacks" (1 = Not at all close; 9 = Very close) differs between generational cohorts (see the table below). The ANOVA was statistically significant, F (7, 15828) = 32.72, p <.001. This indicates there are differences in "How Close One Feels to Blacks" as a function of Generational Cohort. Examining the means and the post hoc test results, individuals born in the Depression Era (M = 4.89, SD = 2.19) and World War II Era (M = 5.07, SD = 2.05) reported feeling significantly less close to Black people than all later cohorts, ps <.001.
