B5. In this exercise, run a hierarchical multiple regression analysis to predict cesd, using the same predictors as in Exercises B3 and B4. Select the variables you would like to enter in each step, being sure to think of a reasonable rationale for the order of entry. In the first SPSS Linear Regression dialog box, enter cesd as the Dependent variable, and the predictor(s) you wish to enter in the first step in the Independent slot. Then, click the pushbutton Next in the area labeled “Block.” Now you can select your second block of predictors. Keep clicking Next Block for each set of predictors, until all seven predictors are included. The Method box should say “Enter.”

Examine your output, and pay special attention to changes in R2 for each successive block of variables.
