Assignment 2 – Multiple Regression in Practice (Article Critique)

In Assignment 2 you will locate a quantitative research article that used a Multiple Regression to analyze the results. This should be a paper that describes the collection and analysis of data using multiple regression. We are learning about standard multiple regression, so it would be best to restrict your search to standard (vs. hierarchical or stepwise regression – AKA statistical regression).

It is OK if other statistics are included in the study – only discuss the Multiple Regression. Only report one result, not all of the results in the paper.
