Further, the definition of adaptation is variable in individual studies with a
number of predictor variables often defined as outcomes of adaptation and vice versa.
Hence, the term «predictor» is used in the Results and the interpretation
of the predictor variables in relation to trajectories of social anxiety is addressed in the Discussion.
With covariates and parenting practices for trajectory group membership, the model allowed us to compute the effect
of predictor variables on the probability of trajectory group membership.
The review of previous studies results in investigation
of the predictor variables of parenting stress, there was consistency in the results regarding the association between parent gender, age, child age, recently time diagnosis, educational level, monthly income and marital status.
allows for predictor variables to be added in sequence to determine the total direct effect and, by subtraction, the indirect
effect of all predictor variables (Cohen et al., 2003).
Let denote outcome h for classroom j in school i. Let denote a
vector of predictor variables such as class size, years of teacher experience, and an average of test scores from a previous year for members of the classroom.
Instead, results based on what appears to be the most appropriate
choice of predictor variables — OLR seasonal cycle over 30S — 30N latitudes — indicate a negligible (3 %) increase in mean predicted warming, and on their face support a greater narrowing of the range of predicted warming.
These findings provide further evidence that BC17's results, based on
use of all predictor variables without full standardization, are unstable and much less reliable than results based on use of only the OLR seasonal cycle predictor field, whether extending across the globe or just tropical latitudes.
In
terms of the predictor variables selected, every one significantly predicted at least one love style, and supporting our predictions that cultural orientation, adult attachment style, gender and relationship length are crucial to understanding love attitudes.
I tested use of the OLR seasonal cycle over the 30S — 30N latitude zone only, thereby reducing the
number of predictor variables to 936 — still a large number, but under 4 % of the 23,976 predictor variables used in BC17.
One pertinent case occurs when the two (or more)
of the predictor variables are very strongly correlated.
We undertook multiple imputation (MI)
of predictor variables to assess the sensitivity of results to missing data using the chained regression method of MI to generate five imputed data sets.
Results from Table 2 assessing the impact
of predictor variables on literacy outcomes show that SES and ECE attendance strongly predicated letter naming, p < 0.05; age, SES and ECE predicted fine motor skills, p < 0.01; None of the predictor variables significantly predicted receptive language while ECE and age
Each of the predictor variables; cultural orientation, gender, attachment style, and relationship length made an independent contribution to each love style and the model significantly predicted each of the love styles, which in turn were unique.
Of
all of the predictor variables included in this research, relationship length had the greatest independent impact on four of the six love styles.
Although there was only a significant correlation between one
of the predictor variables (interpersonal problems) and HADS depression, to allow comparisons with the anxiety model, the same mediation was conducted with HADS depression as the DV.
To determine how much of the variance in the criterion variable can be attributed to
each of the predictor variables a two - model regression analysis was conducted.
