Notes.
(1) The effective samples have 855 observations, including 485 males and 370 females.
(2) The omitted (reference) categories are as follows: Age1 for age groups dummy variable; female for gender; Edu1 for educational groups; Marit1 for marital status; Race1 for race groups; Position1 for social class groups; and Residence1 for residence areas.
(3) *Effect is significant at ; ; and .
(4) Goodness of fit is as follows: the result of Log-likelihood ratio test can reject the hypothesis that all coefficients except for the intercept are 0 at the 0.01 level. Considering the Gender variable, the LR chi2 of males and females are LR chi2 (23), respectively.
