q2 i? Ego scores and need for cognition scores were dropped from the regression model due to lack of significant F change, so neither significantly predicted engagement. → Bobby Hoffman 2010

q2 · i? · associational · r2

Null result from the stepwise regression with 189 participants: two candidate predictors failed to add significant F change and were removed. The article reports no effect size for these dropped predictors, so the finding indicates non-detection, not a measured small effect.

"Ego scores and need for cognition scores were dropped from the analysis due to lack of significant F change to the overall regression model."
