Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q2 i? In gradual regression analysis, the set of self-esteem, locus of control and multidimensional perfectionism variables significantly predicted subjective well-being, with a total expressed variance percentage of 34.8%. → Karatas 2012
q2 i? Self-esteem was the strongest predictor, expressing 28% of variance, with the final model R = .590. → Karatas 2012 (2)
Evidence¶
Karatas 2012¶
Karatas, Z. & Tagay, O. (2012). Self Esteem, Locus of Control and Multidimensional Perfectionism as the Predictors of Subjective Well Being. International Education Studies, 5(6). http://dx.doi.org/10.5539/ies.v5n6p131
q2 · i? · associational · r2
Gradual regression analysis (Table 2, n=318) entering self-esteem, locus of control and the three perfectionism sub-scales; the article reports the "total ex pressing percentage of all the variables" as 34.8%, with all F Change values starred p<.01. No standardised effect size is printed for the omnibus model.
"It is seen that the total ex pressing percentage of all the variables for subjective well-being is, on the other hand, 34.8%."
Karatas 2012 (2)¶
Karatas, Z. & Tagay, O. (2012). Self Esteem, Locus of Control and Multidimensional Perfectionism as the Predictors of Subjective Well Being. International Education Studies, 5(6). http://dx.doi.org/10.5539/ies.v5n6p131
q2 · i? · associational · r2
Gradual regression analysis (Table 2, n=318): self-esteem entered first with R = .529, R2 = .280, F Change = 122.683 (p<.01) and Beta = .529; the text names it as predicting "most" with "the percentage of 28%".
"the variable predicting subjective well-being most is self-esteem with the percentage of 28% for expressing variance"
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Locus of control is negatively correlated with and predicts subjective well-being, ranking second after self-esteem — related
- Perfectionism determined by others and perfectionism for others correlate negatively with subjective well-being, while self-perfectionism does not correlate significantly — related
- Self-esteem is positively correlated with subjective well-being among final-year education faculty students — related
