PSY 600 Advanced Statistics
Study Description: A researcher is interested in developing a predictive model to determine the factors related to whether or not an individual will engage in a physical form of domestic violence against their spouse (male-on-female). The predictors of interest are Overall Aggression, Emotional Stability, Masculinity, Attitudes Towards Violence, and Attitudes Towards Femininity. Conduct a logistic regression analysis to examine how well domestic violence can be predicted using these indicators. Does this model do a good job of discriminating between those who commit domestic violence and those who don’t? Which statistic(s) are you using to make this judgment? Report the results of this analysis in complete APA-style. You are strongly encouraged to use the example provided in the lecture on Logistic Regression as a template. Make sure to report the overall significance of the model, the classification accuracy rate, and the beta/significance of predictors. You'll also need to summarize your results in everyday language and state whether your hypothesis was supported. Attempt to examine an interaction between any two variables in the dataset to predict domestic violence. Then, attempt to report the results in APA style using the same format as you used for moderation analysis.
