I ran the significance values for level of education (degree) and for age. However
my disk contracted a virus and I lost my data set and was not able to run
significance values for my other independent variables (age, income). What I
found was that attitudes towards suicide were affected by degree and age.
Degree was the most powerful predictor of attitudes towards suicide. I
used the Somers'd method because both the dependent variable and the
independent variable had nominal values. The Somers'd value was .187 and was
significant at the 001 level. This means that there is a 18.7 or 19% reduction in
error in predicting attitudes towards suicide by knowing the
couldn't get worse and you have to learn to overcome obstacles. Older people
degree earned. The higher someone's education the more likely that they can see
independent and dependent variables.
