Basic Linear Regression

  • V6 in this Basic Linear Regression is the involvement of the Finger Friends Activity (Dependent Variable), while V36 (Independent Variable) is the family household income of families participating in the Finger Friends Activity. Therefore, family household income predicts the involvement of a family in the Finger Friends Activity. 
  • I have hypothesized that families who have a higher annual income will have more involvement. In other words, how much your family makes annually would influence involvement in an activity.
  • For every one-unit increase in income, involvement decreases -0.1034 units. Therefore, it appears that involvement of an activity is negatively related to annual household income. This finding is not significant. The r squared (R2) statistic is 0.005917 meaning that this model explains .60% of the variation in the dependent variable (involvement).
