Testing for Multiple Regression

Testing for Multiple Regression

It is time once again to put all of this good practice to use and answer a social research question with multiple regression. As you begin the assignment, be sure and pay close attention to the assumptions of the test. Specifically, make sure the variables are metric level variables. Pay close attention as there are 2 parts to this assignment.

To prepare for this Part 1 of your Assignment:

Review the Learning Resources attached related to multiple regression.

Using the SPSS software, open the General Social Survey dataset attached.

Based on the dataset you chose, construct a research question that can be answered with a multiple regression analysis.

Once you perform your multiple regression analysis, copy and paste your output into your Word document.

Then write a 1- to 2-page analysis of your multiple regression results for each research question. In your analysis, display the data for the output. Based on your results, provide an explanation of what the implications of social change might be.

To prepare for this Part 2 of your Assignment:

Review the Learning Resources attached and consider the use of dummy variables.

Using the SPSS software, open the General Social Survey dataset attached.

Create a research question with metric variables and one variable that requires dummy coding. Estimate the model and report results. Note: You are expected to perform regression diagnostics and report that as well.

Once you perform your analysis, copy and paste your output into your Word document.

Then write a 2- to 3-page analysis of your multiple regression using dummy variables results for each research question. In your analysis, display the data for the output. Based on your results, provide an explanation of what the implications of social change might be.

Follow the attached guidelines for assistance when completing the assignment.

Be sure to use proper APA format, citations, and referencing.
