Table 3 Means, standard deviations, and MANOVA results (Pillai’s trace V = 0.40, F(18, 4146) = 35.53, p < 0.001, partial Eta squared = 0.13) for post-hoc Games-Howell significant differences (p > 0.05) across all four samples (public, fur takers, hunters, and producers) for composite variables. Rows with matching superscripts are not significantly different, while different superscripts indicate significant differences between groups.
