I am doing my undergrad thesis on social skills. The study is still under design.
I am trying to answer two questions. One, that how much of differences in social skills can be explained by differences in personality and IQ.
And two, how well does my measure social skills predict social competence, if I control for IQ and Personality.
Can anyone guide me on how I would enter the Big Five scores into a regression equation. To my understanding, I will have 1 score for IQ and five scores for Personality (OCEAN). Do I add them all into the regression equation all together.
If you have no hypotheses about specific weightings or relationships, you can add all the predictors into the regression together.
It is question of using Stepwise regression analysis to predict social competence as a function of 5 personality factors and IQ .
Use of partial correlation may also give an additional answer.
Or
Social competence may be predicted by personality factors for low average and high IQ groups.
Or
Use of Discrminant analysis by splitting the sample into low average and high groups on social competence
More possibilities are also there.
