Psyc451 Project and Conference

Proposal for 451 Laboratory Project Name

1. What data set will you be using (it must be approved by Cal if it is not one of the Project Datasets)

2. Circle the statistical model you plan to use multiple regression or path analysis

What is your criterion variable? mean = std = n =

3. Specify the criterion and predictor variable(s) – be sure to choose the correct type of analysis.

Nested/non-nested regression model comparisons (6-8 predictors)

Criterion variable

1st reduced model name variables

2nd reduced model name variables

Why is it interesting to compare these models to each other and to the full model?

Comparing a multiple regression model (6-8 predictors) across populations/groups

Criterion variable

1st population 2nd population

Variables

Why is it interesting to compare these populations on this model?

Comparing a multiple regression model (6-8 predictors) across criterion variables

1st Criterion variable 2nd Criterion variable

Variables

Why is it interesting to compare these criterion variables on this model?

Path/Mediation model (6-8 predictors in 3-4 layers)

Criterion variable

1st layer (right-most/most recent/nearest criterion)

2nd layer

3rd layer

4th layer (left most/earliest/farthest from criterion)

Something more interesting? If you plan to perform a combination of these, please specify what populations, criterion and models are involved and the comparisons you want to make.
