We also calculated variance inflation factors and tolerance limits to ensure that our analyses were not affected
by multicollinearity.
In order to simplify the interpretation of results and to
reduce multicollinearity, all predictors were grand - mean centered before further analyses.
The paper introduces all indices of
multicollinearity diagnoses, the basic principle of principal component regression and determination of «best» equation method.
To deal with the issue of
multicollinearity in the data, all variables were examined using the Variance Inflation Factor (VIF) and Tolerance in SPSS.
The correlation between differences in motives and differences in capabilities between partners was.53 — not high enough to indicate
undue multicollinearity.
Additionally, the correlation between any two variables did not reach the mean scale reliability, which shows no evidence of
multicollinearity according to Campbell and Fiske (1959).
In the current study,
although multicollinearity was not indicated, there was a significant correlation between the two subscales of the HADS.
We did not include age as a covariate due to the high correlation between age and generation (r =.83) and the possible problems
with multicollinearity.
This strategy reduces the potential
for multicollinearity and eases interpretation of results (Cohen, Cohen, West, & Aiken, 2003).
To minimize problems
of multicollinearity, daily hassles and social support scores were «centered» (by subtracting each score from the sample mean).

Given
the multicollinearity problems of my model, here is what I think I know:
In addition to
the multicollinearity problem (for which explicit tests exist) and the simultaneity issue there is the ever present question of autocorrelation of time series data.
For example, I expect Ross will fix
the multicollinearity problem I pointed out (nb: doing so will strengthen his conclusion), without anyone needing to sumbit a comment to JESM.
Results from these tests showed that the assumption of
multicollinearity was not violated with VIF values less than 1.25 and Tolerance values above 0.93.
multiple regression procedures for analyzing data as applied in education settings, including curvilinear regressions, dummy variables,
multicollinearity, and introduction to path analysis.
These reversed ORs could not be ascribed to
multicollinearity (Tabachnick and Fidell, 2001).
Prior to multivariable analysis,
the multicollinearity test was done.
Prior to the regression analyses the variables were centered to reduce
the multicollinearity between predictor variables.
Bartlett's test of sphericity was statistically significant (χ2 = 1,763.72, df = 78, p <.001), and no evidence of
multicollinearity or singularity was found (Tabachnick and Fidell 2001).
To minimize problems with
multicollinearity and to facilitate interpretation of results, temperament and conflict variables were centered in all analyses (Aiken & West, 1991).
To reduce the number of predictors in the regression models and the possibility of
multicollinearity, an SES variable consisting of a composite of mother education and median neighborhood household income (r =.47, p <.001) was created by standardizing both variables and calculating the mean.
Finally, data was assessed for
multicollinearity.
