Hi,
I am doing a final year dissertation project and wondered if I could get some help understanding my results?
I have 2 predictor variables on one outcome variable and did a linear regression with one of the IVs and the DV to test my hypothesis and then added the other IV to the model to see the additional variance.
I did a spearmans correlation and found that the IV and DV have the effect size: 0.17 (which is positive?)
But the linear regression showed (B= .037, p>.05 )- which is positively related?
And once I added in the other variable the outcome showed (B= -.032, p>0.05).
I don't know what to report this as, if it is positively related or negatively related as none of them are significant but the correlation is positvive?
Many Thanks!!
