TABLE 5.18 REGRESSIONS FOR
TRUSTWORTHINESS SERIES --PINE RIDGE OGLALA SIOUX SAMPLE We asked our respondents for the
following information about seven "places where people might
get information about the past:" "Please tell (us) how
trustworthy you think each is as a source of information
about the past using a 1 to 10 scale, where 1 means not at
all trustworthy and 10 means very trustworthy." The table
below reports the OLS (ordinary least squares) Coefficients
for regressions of "trustworthiness" of the seven sources of
information about the past listed under the table. These
regressions are a statistical method for measuring the
extent to which one or more variables (e.g., demographic
characteristics like age or gender) affect another variable
(e.g., trustworthiness of sources of information about the
past). The standard errors for the coefficients are in
parentheses. Independent variables
in the model Age (Actual) Gender (0=Women,
1=Male) Education (0 to 20 years
completed) Income (6
categories)
R-square
(Adjusted) Constant
