By the Numbers: Using ANCOVA to gauge the impact of demographic differences on satisfaction

In instances where surveyed groups may have a known history of responding to questions differently, rather than using the traditional method of weighting to address those differences, analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) can be employed. ANCOVA looks at the correlation between a dependent variable and the covariate independent variables and removes the variability from the dependent variable that can be accounted for by the covariates.
