I will be running MLR and assumption test and I have problem transforming my data into variables.
PLEASE HELP!!!!!
Independent Variables:
Demographics- This includes the categories of age range, gender, highest level of education, and current employment status that are used to describe the participants in survey. This is INDEPENDENT VARIABLE number 1? Am I correct?
This is the answer I got from previous post asking for independent variable that I need explanation to —-> “Social Support – This is the set of 6 questions that assess the participant’s level of social support. Responses to these questions will be used to measure the level of social support that a participant has.”
Which 6 questions are assessing participants level of support? As there are 12 and I am confused. Which 6 questions would be INDEPENDENT variable here? IMPORTANT PLEASE HELP
Mental Wellbeing – This is the set of 5 questions that assess the participant’s mental wellbeing. Responses to these questions will be used to measure the overall mental wellbeing of the participant. So this is my 3rd INDEPENDENT variable. Am I correct?
Overall mental wellbeing score – This is the score derived from the responses to the Mental Wellbeing questions (5 questions at the end of my survey). This score will be used to measure the overall mental wellbeing of the participant. So this is my DEPENDENT variable. Am I correct?
PLEASE HELP WITH ALL OF THE ABOVE.
Thanks.
