National origin was assumed to be an indicator of cultural background. An …

A sample of households, who had applied for building permits to enlarge or alter their homes, were contacted by a mail survey (70 percent response with usable questionnaires). The null hypothesis expects no difference between the households of differing characteristics in remodeling process behavior. Chi-square tests or one-way analyses of …
