Question
The analyses below are based on data from the research project Youth and Culture (Ganzeboom and Nagel, 1998-2002) in which over 3,000 school pupils aged 14-17 were questioned about their attitude towards culture. There is also information about their social background and their parents’ cultural participation. The question is to what extent the cultural participation of the mother influences the students’ attitude towards culture and whether this influence differs between students from western and non-western backgrounds.
The dependent variable is ‘Attitude to culture’ (ATT: a 1-4 scale, where a higher score means a more positive attitude). Mother’s cultural participation (MCUL) is a continuous scale, 0-1, where a higher score means higher participation. The western versus non-western background of the students was measured via the variable ‘MIN’ (0 = western, 1 = non-western). Model 2 also includes the interaction between ‘MIN’ and ‘MCUL’ (MIN_MCUL).
What is the attitude towards culture (ATT) predicted by regression model 2 of a schoolgirl of non-western background with a mother with a very high cultural participation (1)? Give only a number in two decimal places (nothing else).
