Subclaims¶

q2 i? In the 2016-17 sample, Likert scales of SET significantly predicted the topic probabilities of Topics 2, 4 and 6, while in the 2017-18 sample the Likert scales were associated with all six topic probabilities. → Hujala 2020

q2 · i? · associational · r2

Multilevel regression analysis (three-level random intercept models, one per topic) fitted separately to the 2016-17 and 2017-18 samples, using Likert-scale SET dimensions as independent variables and LDA topic probabilities as dependent variables. In the 2017-18 sample "the Likert scales are associated with all six topic probabilities".

"As shown in Table 5, Likert scales of SET can predict the topic probabilities of topics 2, 4 and 6."
