q3 i? In a linear regression on Wave I data, health report was positively related and symptom score inversely related to perceived belonging, together explaining an additional 7.2% of variance after demographic controls. → Kirkpatrick 2020

Evidence¶

Kirkpatrick 2020¶

q3 · i? · associational · r3

Linear regression modeling with design-based Wave I Add Health data (Table 3 reports standardized coefficients: health report .120, symptoms mean score –.377, both p < .001; total model R2 = .139). No standardized effect size for the health block is printed beyond the variance increment.

"Report of health status had a positive relationship with belonging, while symptom scores had an inverse relation with belonging. Health report and symptoms score both provided significant predictive utility for perceived belonging. With demographic variables controlled, the two health variables together explained an additional 7.2% variance for perceived belonging."
