A MANOVA analysis was conducted to determ<strong>in</strong>e <strong>the</strong> effects <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> demographic variables on customer<br />

satisfaction. The result <strong>in</strong>dicates that <strong>the</strong> association between customer satisfaction on <strong>the</strong> one hand and<br />

customer expertise as well as year <strong>of</strong> open<strong>in</strong>g account on <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r hand is marg<strong>in</strong>ally significant (see<br />

Table 3). However, <strong>the</strong> association between customer satisfaction and age, gender, and education are not<br />

significant. Thus, hypo<strong>the</strong>sis 4 is only partially confirmed.<br />
