Earlier this week, you practiced testing for mediation and, ideally, used the Collaboration Lab to ask, answer, and otherwise address any questions you had regarding mediation. In this Assignment, you apply what you learned to answer a social research question using multiple regression, including testing for possible mediation. Remember that you must still address all the assumptions for multiple regression.
To prepare
Review the datasets provided.
Construct a research question based on one of those datasets.
By Day 7
The Assignment
Based on the research question you created, complete the following tasks:
Fit a multiple regression model, using two or more independent variables. Think about whether or not the model will meet assumptions.
Fit the model, testing for mediation between two key variables.
Analyze the output, determining whether mediation was significant and how to interpret that result.
Reflect on possible implications of social change.
Write a 1- to 2-paragraph analysis in APA format that includes your data output and addresses each of the tasks listed above.
