¶ … Multiple Regression Analysis
Data Set Entered into SPSS
The variables entered into SPSS were as follows:
Race
Age
Gender
Recruitment Location
Locus of Control
Appraisal
Mentor
Family Mentor
School Experience
Religious Faith
Childhood SES
Childhood Maltreatment
Resilience Composite Score
Each of these variables represents the item totals for individual questionnaires in the survey, or responses to individual questions. For example, Race was answered by selecting one of 3 options. Age was answered by entering one's age. Gender was answered by selecting one's gender. For measures such as Locus of Control and Appraisal, response to multiple items were averaged to provide a scale score.
These variables can then be used to conduct a multiple regression.
The dependent variable in this case is "Resilience" because one is trying to determine what factors account for the greatest amount of variance with respect to resilience.
A hierarchical multiple regression is conducted by entering different variables at different steps. On the first step, if replicating the study provided, one would enter the demographic variables (Race, age, gender, recruitment location). On the second step, one would enter locus of control, mentor, family mentor, school experience, religious faith and appraisal. In this study, these variables are considered protective factors. In the third step, childhood SES would be entered. On the fourth step, childhood maltreatment would be entered. The results of the analysis would determine to what extent each of these additional steps adds to the ability to explain the variance in resilience scores. While all of these variables may ultimately be correlated with resilience, either positively or negatively, not all of these variables will continue to "add" something to our ability to predict resilience after the contribution of other variables have been allowed for first.
Below is a screen shot of the "Variable View" in SPSS of how the variables would be entered into SPSS in order to be able to conduct a Multiple Regression Analysis.
Below is a screen shot of the SPSS Data view of the data entered into SPSS for each variable. Gender, Race, Recruitment, Mentor and Family Mentor are all categorical variables, while the remaining variables are interval, or scale variables. Each line in this screen shot represents an individual participant.
After using this sample data set to run a regression analysis, the output is as follows (highlights only).
It includes a way to track bidirectional changes focused on the individual who operates within the two cultural environments. Methods of data reduction have been incorporated in order to develop a psychometrically strong tool. Indexes to validate the results are included in the process as well. As a part of the BAS, scales are used to measure the various areas of acculturation rather than examining items based on the
Multiple Regression It is hypothesized that self-efficacy, appraisal, challenge and resources will negatively predict perceived stress whilst avoidant strategies will increase levels of perceived stress. Sample Description The sample consisted of 100 participants, 27 males and 73 females. Forty percent of the participants were not students, 30 were studying as part time students and 29% were studying as full time students. Fifty-five percent of the sample was employed full time, 25% were employed
It has even moved into the legal and political realms, which focus on its ability to forecast information based on similar or manipulated environmental conditions (Sykes, 2012). It is often used in quantitative research methodologies, but also conserve as a way to test for reliability in mixed methods and qualitative studies using triangulation, or more than one method to prove the same results hold true (Dizikes, 2010). In this,
Table 3: Predicting Elasticities of Variables From the analysis completed in Table 3, the elasticity of each variable can be easily seen. As one would expect, the greater the variability in a given variable the higher the elasticity, especially when the variables either measure purchasing power as pi does directly or how the variables stock, and index of consumer sentiment also are shown as a result of their large variances. Taking
Communicating the Results of a Multiple Regression Analysis Business Theory: "Communicating the Results of a Multiple Regression Analysis" This report has the stated objective of examining the communication of the results of a multiple regression analysis and as such, a multiple regression analysis is described both in theory and in form demonstrating the progression of such an analysis. The multiple regression in this study examines bivariate factors in predicting the success of
Workplace Regression Analysis Give an example from your workplace regarding how regression analysis could be used by your leadership to analyze one or multiple outcomes that occur because of what your agency does. Indicate the dependent variable and at least two independent variables To begin with, regression analysis is defined as the relationship between variables. referring to the example under consideration, the management in the workplace can use regression analysis to analyze
