Assignment Instructions
For this assignment, complete the following in a one-page, APA-formatted paper:
- Refer to the JASP Tutorial Video: Bivariate Regression (given in the Resources). Conduct a bivariate regression with the outcome variable (Y) as self-reported anxiety and the predictor variable (X) as length of meditation.
- Provide JASP output for the model summary (R-square), the F-test (testing if R-square is significantly different from 0), Coefficients (intercept and unstandardized coefficient), and descriptives (mean and standard deviation for the predictor and outcome).
- Using the “H1” output, identify the intercept (that is, when X = 0 . . . in other words, mean anxiety level for 0 minutes of meditation) and the unstandardized beta (that is, change in Y as the predictor increases 1 unit . . . increases by 1 minute of meditation).
- Provide a summary paragraph of the results of the regression analysis and implications for funding the meditation program.
