Chapter 12.3, Problem 9BSC

Self-Esteem The following table lists measures of self-esteem obtained from a student project as supervised by Jannay Morrow at Vassar College (based on data from Richard Lowry). The objective of the project was to study how levels of self-esteem in subjects relate to their perceptions of self-esteem in other target people who were described in writing. Self-esteem levels were measured using the Coopersmith Self-Esteem Inventory, and the test here works well even though the data are at the ordinal level of measurement. Use a 0.05 significance level and apply the methods of two-way analysis of variance. What do you conclude?
