Hello. First of all I want to thank you in advance for you responses. I'm a rookie researcher and I'm having trouble reporting the results of a Logistic Regression I ran. I'm doing a research in the psychology field that is exploring the relationship between Temperament traits (i.e. the part of Personality that is ruled by biology and neurotransmission) and Drug Consumption in intelecutally gifted adolescents. Temperament traits are my independet continuous predictor variables, which are represented in a score calculated through the tabulation of a shortened version of Robert Cloninger's TCI-R. Drug Consumption is my dichotomous (Yes or No) dependent variable.

My Hypothesis was that "The Temperament traits that are significantly related with Drug Consumption are the same between gifted adolescents and the reported from heterogeneous population of adolescents". Running the Logistic Regression I get a confirmation of my Hypothesis: The Temperament trait denominated "Novelty Seeking" has a statiscally significant relationship with consuming various drugs in various sets of time (once in my life, in the last year, in the last month, and in the last week). I observe the effect of the different traits by observing the P values of each trait in relationship with each of the drugs and each of the time sets.

Now my query. I'm not sure how to correctly report this results, I found little (none) information and researchs on my field that uses Logistic Regression this way (not for prediction, but to observe relationships between variables). Do I have to report just the P values? Do I have to conduct another type of analysis?

I'd be very grateful If you could guide me a bit. I used the JASP software for the analysis.

Thank you all!
