3.3. Data analysis
Three sets of analysis were undertaken: (1) calculation of a balanced
weighted average LVI (referred to as model 1); (2) calculation
of a LVI based on the IPCC framework (IPCC, 2007;
(Schneider et al., 2007) (referred to as model 2); (3) gendered analysis
utilizing both models 1 and 2. Additionally, t-tests were used
to compare the mean scores of Nariva and Caroni’s main components
and sub-components.
