ESTIMATING MODELS USING DUMMY VARIABLES
Create a research question using the General Social Survey dataset that can be answered by multiple regression.
(1) Using the SPSS software, choose a categorical variable to dummy code as one of your predictor variables.
Estimate a multiple regression model that answers your research question.
Reply to the following:
(A) What is your research question?
(B) Interpret the coefficients for the model, specifically commenting on the dummy variable.
(C) Run diagnostics for the regression model.
(C1)Does the model meet all of the assumptions?
(C2) Be sure and comment on what assumptions were not met and the possible implications.
(C3) Is there any possible remedy for one of the assumption violations?
Be sure to support your Main Post and Response Post with reference to the week’s Learning Resources and other scholarly evidence in APA Style.
