Optimism and Longevity
A cancer specialist from the Los Angeles County General Hospital (LACGH) rated patient optimism in 20- to 40-year-old male patients with incurable cancer in 1970. In 1990, the researcher examined hospital records to gather the following data:
• Socioeconomic status (1–7 rating of occupation; higher ratings indicate higher levels of SES)
• Age in 1970
• Optimism in 1970 (1–100 rating, higher scores indicate higher levels of optimism)
• Longevity (years lived after the 1970 diagnosis)
1. Do the independent variables correlate statistically significantly and practically with the dependent variable?
2. Is collinearity between the independent variables a concern?
3. What is the R and adjusted R-square for all independent variables entered simultaneously?
4. What variable(s) provide a significant unique contribution(s)?
5. Compose a results section for this statistical analysis.
