q3 · i? · associational · r2

Chi-square analysis of stated preference to live elsewhere in the follow-up survey of 80 former students with cognitive disabilities. No standardized effect size printed.

"However, 44% of the respon dents for the high self -determined group indi cated that their so n or daughter wanted to live elsewhere, while only 19% of the low self -determined group indicated likewise (x2 = 8.13, p = .04)."

q3 · i? · associational · r2

The low number of students living outside the family home (n = 8) made further housing analyses inadvisable; equivalence was not tested.

"the vast majority of ex -students (90%; n = 72) still lived with their par -ents nearly 1 year after graduation. These figures were virtually the same for students independent of self -determination group, and there were no significant differences on the chi -square analysis for this variable."
