Locate a journal article using regression analyses, preferably on a topic of interest to you. You can use an article you already have or draw something from the syllabus of one of your substantive classes or search a bibliographic database.

Read (or reread) the article, paying particular attention to the research questions or hypothesis statements and how these are examined in the regression models.

Examine at least one table of regression results in detail, and pull out some of the features that were discussed in this chapter (e.g., signifi cance and sign of coeffi cients relevant to the study’s research questions and hypotheses). Write a short paragraph discussing what is easiest and most diffi cult to understand about the article’s regression analysis. Keep a copy of this article to revisit in the chapter exercise in the fi nal chapter of the book.
