All of the differences highlighted are statistically significant (p < 0.05) in the multivariate model. So there's that. :-) The downside is that the paper only

  Even, say, the difference between "never attend church" and "sometimes attend church" (which evidently makes divorce 10% more likely)? Or how about the difference between household incomes of $85k and $110k (bars differ by 3% out of about 40%)? But I'm glad to know that these are all results with low p-values, anyway: that adds some real confidence to these results. (Though I ought to ask: how many of these significant p-values were between, say, 0.03 and 0.05? How many different correlations were originally considered in the study before they identified these significant ones?)

    Check out the paper (Table 3) for significance statements: http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2501480 http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2501480 Some of the trends in Part 1 are not statistically significant (e.g., "never attend church" vs. "sometimes attend church"), but I presented them regardless because they have a pretty clear trend. I believe p-values are only presented in comparison to the reference point.

      Oh, man, I knew I was cruising for a "it's right there in the paper" response. Well-deserved, I'll admit it: I'm being lazy. But then, that's why I like error bars on my graphs. Thanks for the nicely presented data, regardless!
