INCOME & GUN OWNERSHIP Does income have an effect on gun ownership INCOME & GUN OWNERSHIP Does income have an effect on gun ownership? Bryce Cahill Department of Political Science, University of New Hampshire Introduction Results Discussion Hypothesis: In a comparison of individuals, those with lower income will be more likely to own a gun . Income (rincom06_5) and gun ownership (owngun) were compared in the GSS dataset . Based on the methods tested, weather one owns a gun or not is more dependent on party identification than income. For party ID we see a high chi-square (109.5) and a low P-value (<2e-16). Where for the income this is opposite (chi2=14.6, P-value= .07). This high chi-square value for party ID shows us that this variable has a more profound effect on gun ownership, and less likely to be random sampling error. For income this is opposite. The Somers D value for party ID is .12 and for income it is .04. This shows that we can increase our predictions by 12% and 4%. For party ID because the P-value is less than .05 we can reject the null hypothesis and for income the P-value (.07) is greater than .05 so we can accept the null hypothesis. . Methods . Gun ownership is more common among men than women Those in rural areas are more likely to own a gun Republican and republican learning independents are more likely to own a gun than democrats For those with a single gun, handgun ownership is most common 67% of gun owners say their primary reason for owning a gun is for protection . To test income’s effect on gun ownership R Studio was used. This software is used to compare different variables in certain data sets Cross tabulations and mosaic plots are used to provide a visual comparison of variables The Chi-Square and Somers D test show the strength between the dependent and independent variable. Values of the chi-square test that are close to 0 are within the domain of the null hypothesis, as chi-square increases the null hypothesis (“it all happened by chance”) becomes increasingly implausible. Somers D shows a value that allows one to improve their prediction by a certain percentage. It also shows weather the relationship between the dependent and independent variables are negative or positive. The P-Value is the probability of attaining the sample difference under the assumption that the null hypothesis is true Income level References Party Identification Contacts Mitchell, Travis. “1.
