Previous research has suggested a link between athletic involvement and elevated levels of adolescent violence outside the sport context. The present study expanded on this literature by positing differences in the sport-violence relationship across dimensions of athletic involvement (athletic participation vs. jock identity), type of violence…

This study investigated the demographic, intrapersonal, and organizational factors associated with burnout among a population of school counselors in the northeastern United States (n = 78). Three hierarchical regression analyses were completed to determine the amount of variance that each cluster contributed to the 3 subscales on the Maslach…

Pokorny, Steven B.; Jason, Leonard A.; Schoeny, Michael E. – Journal of Youth and Adolescence, 2006
The present study employed multilevel random-effects regression analyses to model individual and community correlates of youth supplying tobacco to other minors. Data from 8486 youth in 40 Midwestern junior high and high schools were examined. Results indicate community support for tobacco-possession laws was associated with lower likelihood of…

Context: Few studies have examined the prevalence of overweight status and physical inactivity among children and adolescents living in rural America. Purpose: We examined urban and rural differences in the prevalence of overweight status and physical inactivity among US children. Methods: Data were drawn from the 2003 National Survey of…

Sciarra, Daniel T.; Seirup, Holly J. – Professional School Counseling, 2008
The study in this article employed a multidimensional (behavioral, emotional, and cognitive) construct of school engagement to examine its relationship to school achievement in mathematics across the five major racial groups. The sample included 115 American Indians, 486 Asians, 1,551 Blacks, 1,682 Latinos, and 7,554 Whites who participated in the…

Thayer, Jerome D. – 1991
The extent to which standardized regression coefficients (beta values) can be used to determine the importance of a variable in an equation was explored. The beta value and the part correlation coefficient--also called the semi-partial correlation coefficient and reported in squared form as the incremental "r squared"--were compared for…

Haug, Marie R.; Widdison, Harold A. – Sociology of Work and Occupations, 1975
Eight dimensions of occupational prestige are examined for their effect on the general prestige ratings accorded various occupations within the medical profession. Stepwise multiple regression analyzes the relative weight of these dimension among 410 persons. The findings suggested that public stereotypes exert a normative pressure on individual…

Dhanidina, Lutaf; Griffith, William S. – Adult Education, 1975
The investigation assessed participant perceptions of the costs and benefits of earning a GED high school equivalency certificate. Regression analyses revealed that current income is a better predictor of future earnings than age, anticipated schooling, and anticipated occupation and salary increases for 1968 to 1971, collectively.

De Wet, J. J. – 1981
The use of multiple regression in identifying students with learning disabilities was investigated with 281 ninth grade students. Five sets of predictor variables were chosen to predict grade point average in grade 9: verbal and nonverbal IQ, sex, socioeconomic status (SES), and grade point average in grade 7. Five groups of overachievers, normal…

Korfhage, Mary Margaretha – 1979
The uses and restrictions of commonality analysis are described. Commonality analysis has been increasingly used as a method to examine the relative importance of independent variables, through the partitioning of variance among the variables of the regression equation into unique and common components. The effects of all other independent…

Griffin, Jane; Tubb, Gary W. – 1979
A project to determine if a causal relationship exists between attitude and achievement in understanding metric concepts is described. The subjects of the project were inservice teachers. The answer to two questions were sought: Does a positive significant correlation exist between initial attitude and achievement? Does a significant difference…

Kiker, B. F.; Crouch, Henry L.
The primary objective of this paper is to describe a method of estimating female-male wage ratios. The estimating technique presented is two stage least squares (2SLS), in which equations are estimated for both men and women. After specifying and estimating the wage equations, the male-female wage differential is calculated that would remain if…
