Sook Park and her colleagues (2012) investigated racial/ethnic differences in predictors of self-rating health and the use of sociocultural resources. Their data are 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 following 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. Review each measure of sociocultural resource and determine whether the null hypothesis would be rejected. Set alpha at .05 for each.
