RESEARCH QUESTIONS
How well do the two measures of control i.e.
total perceived control of internal states
(tpcoiss) and total mastery scale (tmast)
predict perceived stress?
How much variance in perceived stress
scores can be explained by scores on these
two measures of control?
Which IVs is the best predictor of perceived
stress?

CORRELATIONS
Check the correlation coefficients of DV with
the IVs preferably .3 and above (Tabachnick
and Fidell, 2007)
r= -.61 for Total Mastery and r=-.58 for Total
Perceived Control of Internal States
Check that the correlations between the IVs is
not too high !! Any thing less than .70 is OK to
retain (Tabachnick and Fidell, 2007)
r= .52 which is less than .70 => retain the
variables
OVERALL WRITE-UP
Standard multiple regression was conducted to
determine which independent variables (Total Perceived
Control of External Events and Total Perceived Control
of Internal States) were predictors of perceived stress in
the population.
Regression results indicate an overall model of two
predictors (internal and external control) significantly
predict perceived stress, R2 = .468, R2 adj = .466, F(2,
423) = 186.341, p < .001
OVERALL WRITE-UP
Therefore the model which includes Total Perceived
Control of External Events and Total Perceived Control
of Internal States explains 46.8 per cent of the variance
in perceived stress. Of these two variables, control of
external events makes the largest unique contribution
(beta= -.424), although the control for internal states
also made a statistically significant contribution (beta= .360).
