Hello All. So, we finally have some clarification about what to include in the write-up and where!
A sample write up (although one I am presently making up as I go) will look as follows:
A linear regression was used to test the hypothesis that time in minutes would predict understanding. The overall model proved significant in that R = .97, F(1, 222) = 579.32, p < .001. As time in minutes increased, understanding also increased (B = 125.23, SEB = 0.25, β = .97, p < .001, 95% CI [123.23, 127.23]).
Until we find otherwise, we are going to report the CI with the coefficients that it relates to (the Betas) and NOT with the R statistics (like in the example given from page 117 of the APA manual), mainly because that is where SPSS is pulling the CI from, so that is how we would report it. PLEASE NOTE! You still need to report the proper statistics from the coefficient table, the 6th edition DID NOT take those away!!! Also...this is not the only way you can write a write up, make sure you are not plagiarizing the examples that any of us have given you! Mainly, just make sure that you include all the necessary elements of the write up and from there the style will come!
Hope this helps! Thanks for your patience as we figured this out!

Hello Katie,
In the handout that was passed out in class (from the APA manual) CI is NOT italicized, but in your example here it is. Which one is correct? Thanks for all your hard work!
J.B.
I am scared to plagarize. there is only so many ways you can say variable 1 and variable 2 are correlated. i dont want to get in trouble for saying something clearly, which happens to be the same way someone else did too. . . tips?
Also, don't we use R2, not just R??
Sorry...another one...in class today, the example he showed us each item and he had CI before beta and the p value and you have it listed very last...are both correct?
Thanks!
Nikki
JB: CI should not be italicized. (see example on the handout from Sung that he handed out with your homework)
Nikki: from what I saw on the apa publication manual, CI is always put after the p value, I will say CI put put after the p value.
You can use any of R, R2 or adj R2 in your report, all are explaining the same thing, so all are acceptable. Just make sure you only report one
Thanks guys! That's what I concluded on both so I'm glad I did it correctly!
what is f is it f in the anova or f change
