Predictor

STUDY VARIABLES Predictor variables: The predictor variables were composed of a heterogeneous set of variables that were grouped into the 5 different categories: surgeon demographics, subject demographics, anesthesia risk factors,, procedure-related, and anesthetic medications. Surgeon demographic variables included age, sex, degree-status (single- or dually-qualified), board certification status (board-certified yes or no) and census region (midwest, northeast, south, west). Subject…

outcome. Also, most of existing studies were conducted as cross-sectional studies; they assessed only the relationships between health outcomes at one point in time. Because of this, there is no indication of the sequence of the disease (i.e. the predictors or the factors that came beforehand, after, or during the onset of the disease) or the change in the status of the disease [206]. For these reasons, Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) will be used in this study to assess the…

Physical function limitations in older adults related with falling. Evidently, fall is the highest cause of accidental death in the older adults, and is also responsible for much chronic pain, loss of function, and disability. Noteworthy, the frequency of falls increases with age and frailty level. Moreover, frail older adults, with a history of falling, are significantly at risk for adverse health outcomes including multiple fracture, disability, institutionalization, hospitalization, and…

important predictor of college persistence but data suggest that between 30 and 40 percent of all entering freshmen are unprepared for college-level reading and writing (Swail W. R., 2003). College readiness is at the heart of disconnect between aspirations of students and results of completing their academic career (Center for Community College Student Engagement, 2016). College preparedness is a key factor in increasing college completion. High school grades are a powerful predictor of college…

Predictors: (Constant), Trustworthiness, Attractiveness, Popularity, Expertise b. Dependent Variable: Brand Credibility The significance value of Anova in the above mentioned table is 0.00 that is less than 0.05 indicating that the model is strong and meaningful…

Drugs in 2014. The goal of the study was to examine links between discrimination, alcohol use, and alcohol problems. The researchers surveyed 619 students from a historically Black university. What was found was that discrimination was a significant predictor of alcohol-related problems. For male students, anger was a partial mediator of the link between discrimination and alcohol use. In both men and women, depression also partially mediated the link between discrimination and alcohol problems.…

While several factors are predictors of divorce, there are also predictors of marital stability. Marital satisfaction is a major predictor of marital stability, or more specifically, eventual divorce (Tach & Halpern-Meekin, 2012). Marital satisfaction, interchangeable with marital happiness describes marriage in which both spouses are relatively happy with the marriage–marital satisfaction has become the measure of a good marriage in American culture (Amato, 2014). Marital satisfaction has…

Intelligence is deemed as a primary indicator of success in academic endeavors and established as the best predictor of achievement, but recent researches suggested that grit, a non-cognitive trait is accounted for successful outcomes in the academe. In cognizance with this, this research is used unveiling whether having a high grit is significant in the achievement of students. As Duckworth (2009) said, intelligence quotient was not the only difference between her best and worst students.…

student? Such a test is SAT which is simply an entrance requirement for most of the colleges and universities that plays a major role in determining whether or not a student gets admitted or not. Standardized tests such as SAT’s are meant to be a predictor of student’s success in college but they at times are the factors that outweigh a student’s GPA, well balanced resume and so on. Despite of what universities say about their admission process, standardized tests weigh more on a college…

test are used to make significant predictions if an independent variable could be significant in the model or not. When you Look at the p-value ("Sig."), we see that all of the predictors are statistically significant at significance level 0.05. The overall statistic indicates the result of including all of the predictors into the model. It is significant at 0.05…
