It is a common practice to use regression analysis for testing hypothesis in behavioral science research using questionnaire survey method. However, I haven't come across any paper or dissertation explecitly specifying models like Y = a + b1*X1+b2*X2+b2*X3 in the methodology and/or results section/chapter. However, it is a common practice in finance and economics research. Are there any specific reasons for not writing eqations like this in behavioral science research or it is simply a disciplinary practice?
It would depend on the problem you are studying. If you are dealing with continuous independent variables, certainly regression model will be useful in analyzing data. Knowledge of ANOVA will be useful when dealing with analyzing independnt variables for significance including discrete or categorical independent variables.
