q3 · i? · associational · r2

Secondary analysis within the same regression study of 55 deaf individuals: family communication mode and hearing status at birth failed to reach the p = 0.05 significance level and were excluded from the final model. No effect sizes are printed for these variables.

"Other variables that were not significant at the p = 0.05 level (e.g., family communication mode, hearing status at birth) were dropped from the model."
