    Question

    The analyses below were carried out on data from a sample of young adults aged between 20 and 40 years who were interviewed via a questionnaire asking about their cultural preferences. The research questions are (1) to what extent the amount of television viewing (variable: TVWatching FAMEDUC (scale 0-7), ranging from primary education (0) to university (7) a higher score means a higher education) and (2) whether this relationship can be explained by the extent to which television used to be watched (when the respondent was 12 years old) by the parents (variable: FAMTV (scale 0-1), a higher score means that more television was watched).
    Below are the results of two regression analyses.
