Regression results for predicting reliance on Predictive Services information
The ability to predict reliance on Predictive Services information, and likelihood of taking action were examined through simultaneous multiple regression. Approximately 50 percent of the variance (R squared adj. = .50, F sub(4), 927 =234.16, p<.001) in "How much do you rely on the information provided by Predictive Services to assist in decision-making" was predicted by trust and confidence in the information provided, gender, years in current position, and educational level.
Independent Variable | β | t | sr2 1 |
Trust and confidence | .687 | 29.266 | .460 |
Years in current position | -.021 | -.903 | <.001 |
Gender | -.099 | -4.264 | <.001 |
Education | -.031 | -1.351 | <.001 |
1 Squared semi-partial correlation is a measure of the unique contribution of the independent variable to the amount of variance explained within that set of independent variables. According to the numbers shown, trust and confidence is the only variable contributing a substantial unique variance beyond the other independent variables. (Tabachnik, B.G.; Fidell, L.S. 2001.
