For the first hypothesis of the Multiple Regression homework, are we using a simultaneous multiple regression to find our answer instead of a heirarchical?
Or are hypothesizing that perceived school competence and intellecutal ability would predict higher global self-worth, holding all other variables constant? So if it were a heirarchical regression, would the independent variables in the first block 0f the heirarchical regression be schcomp and intabil, and the second block all the other variables that we are considering for the assignment?

The hw asks for you to test all the hypotheses using "a hierarchical multiple regression." So yes, in the first block you would have schcomp and intabil as independent variables, but the second block you mentioned is incorrect. Treat each number (i.e. hypothesis 1, 2, 3, 4) as an additional block.
(With multiple regression, the other IVs are held constant if they are not included in the blocks, so for the 1st block the other four variables will automatically be held constant as you examine how much variance in the outcome variable is explained by schcomp and intabil.)
