Unusally high F value ANOVA

I am running a one-way ANOVA to compare a numeric continuous variable between four groups, and getting a very high F-value. Below are the descriptives and code I used in R (I get similar values when trying a different package in Python):

> oneway.test(ideology_score ~ region, data = mydata)
One-way analysis of means (not assuming equal variances)

data:  ideology_score and region
F = 1270.6, num df = 3, denom df = 101578, p-value < 2.2e-16


Total N of observations = 262,267

Group Mean SD N
Group1 -0.43257859 1.285637 80,136
Group2 -0.13539030 1.355517 26,915
Group3 -0.08337834 1.362262 85,512
Group4 -0.39797591 1.263706 69,704

The means and standard deviations of the variable are almost the same for each group, and the variance and distribution of scores within each group are quite similar as well.

Is there anything else that may be going wrong here to explain the high F value?

• At the very least, report the number of observations you have!

• Can you show the means and standard deviations as well? And tell us how you've obtained this F? Right now it's just English words, hard to figure out anything... May 16 at 21:19
• thanks for the suggestion, updated with more information. May 16 at 21:30
