R Squared = .017 (Adjusted R Squared = -.056)

From the table we find that Sig is greater than .05 (), thus it can be concluded that there is no significant difference in the preference for outdoor lifestyle in the three groups based on the location of residence which is taken in the nominal scale.

Since the means of the three groups of locations of residence exist under the same subset, the post hoc test reaffirms our inference of no significant difference among the three groups.
