Question description
Â
Multiple Regression
As with the previous week’s Discussion, this Discussion assists in solidifying your understanding of statistical testing by engaging in some data analysis. This week you will once again work with a real, secondary dataset to construct a research question, estimate a multiple regression model, and interpret the results.
Whether in a scholarly or practitioner setting, good research and data analysis should have the benefit of peer feedback. For this Discussion, you will post your response to the hypothesis test, along with the results. Be sure and remember that the goal is to obtain constructive feedback to improve the research and its interpretation, so please view this as an opportunity to learn from one another.
To prepare for this Discussion:
Use SPSS to answer the research question. Post your response to the following:

READ BEFORE POSTING! 
For an overview of multiple regression, you might want to take a look at Dr.Kathyrne's Practical Guide to multiple regression. I've attached it here and I'll also try to remember to put it in the doc sharing area.
Remember that the type of multiple regression we are learning this week is linear multiple regression (sometimes also called OLS linear regression) -- it is an extension of the simple linear regression that we learned last week. That means that it is designed for variables measured at the interval/ratio level.We can get away with one dichotomous predictor variable, but more than that and we get into trouble.
Just like last week, we can think of the hypotheses in two ways -- as comparing beta values or as comparing R2 values to 0.
Remember to keep "collinearity" (sometimes called multicollinearity) in mind when designing your study. Avoid collinearity -- it creates big problems. We'll learn more about collinearity next week.
Be sure to carefully review the weekly announcement -- I've given an example there of how to present the results.
