Question

You were hired as a consultant to analyze the factors that influence an individual’s propensity to watch TV. You are asked to use the General Social Survey 2002, which is a nationally representative sample of the US population. Having conducted an extensive literature review, you proposed the following theory and identified the following measures (the measurement of each variable - how it is coded in the data - is explained in each box below). You ran a multivariate regression model (the SPSS output is shown on the next page). Please, inspect the output and conduct a regression analysis.

Explanation / Answer

You have not provided the relevant output. Generally, a multivariate regression tells the relationship between the dependent variable Y and the various independent variables X1, X2,..<Xn.( also called as regressors )

The output is in the form of a first degree polynomial, with the coefficient of the corresponding regressor depicting the nature of relationship of Y with it.

In order to test the significance of this depicted relationship, a p-value is also provided in the output, which if less than the significance level of 0.05, depicts a fairly significant relationship which could not have occurred by random chance.

Please provide the data to perform the proper analysis. Hope this helps !
