SPSS Module 8 Assignment-Correlation and Regression General Instructions: In this assignment, we will be examining a correlation and a regression and then interpreting the results. As with previous assignments, the Aspelmeier and Pierce text does a wonderful job of explaining how to actually run all the tests in Chapter 11. Follow their instructions in that chapter on interpretation for this assignment. Again the necessary output has been provided A researcher believes that the characteristics of the closest female friendships will have an impact on the overall reported levels of satisfaction with their closest female friends. The researcher wants to examine the relationship between friendship characteristics and satisfaction with their closest female friends. We know from our text and PPTs that this calls for the use of the correlation. Here are the researcher's hypotheses 1. The number of friends females report will be negatively related to their reported levels of satisfaction with their closest female friend Correlation Output Descriptive Statistics Minimum Maximum Mean Std.

1. It was suspected that number of friends females report will be negatively related to their reported levels of satisfaction with their closest female friend.A Pearson product moment correlation coefficient was computed to assess the relationship between the number of friends females report and their reported levels of satisfaction with their closest female friend. There were no correlation between the variables, r=0.146, n=100, p=0.48. A scatter plot summarizes the result.
2. It was suspected that emotional support with closest female friends (M=5.29, SD=2.94) will predict the reported level of satisfaction with their closest female friends (M=7.12, SD=1.34). A simple linear regression was run. The scatter plot shows positive, linear relationship between the variables. The overall regression equation is not significant, F(1,98)=56.08 , p<0.05. The slope for emotional support is significant, beta=0.603, t(98)=7.489, p<0.05. For increase in emotional support with closest friend, the reported level of satisfaction with their closest friends increases by an amount of 0.603 units.
