A sample of 39 new admissions to a psychilatric clinic gives the following result when a regression analysis of depnession Index (DEP) is regressed on AGE, SEX, work problem index (WP) and manital confict index (MC). Coet 241.19 -1.4800 37.12 477 1.2119 SE Coef 88.83 08828 16.52 Predictor AGE SEX WP MC For the predictor variable SEX, if men ane coded as SEX 0, and women are coded as SEX t, which of the following statement is true? 2.72 1.72 225 0.43 4.12 0 2944 Men tend to be more depressed since the partial regression coefficient is-37,12 when al other predictor varisbles are held the same women terd to bo more depressed since the partai regression coemdent is-37.12 when other predictor variables are held the same Men and women are simlarly depressed when all other predictor variables are held the same Cannot determine whether men or women are more depressed when all other predictor variablies are held the same

Explanation / Answer

Here regression coefficient for SEX = -37.12

so if SEX = 1 then the depression index will be reduced by the value -37.12

so that means women tend to have less depression than the men.

SO OPtion A is correct as men is more depressed if all other coefficients are kept same.
