    Question

    View the SPSS results below. A multiple regression was conducted on the effects of prosocial behavior and the ability to switch attention on the school performance of 350 students. School performance was measured using a standardized CITO test with a mean score of 0 and a standard deviation of 1.

    What is the 95% confidence interval for the regression coefficient (b) of attention shifting and what does that mean?


    1. FALSE: [0.01; 0.40]; this means the association between attention shifting and school performance significantly depends on prosocial behavior.
    2. TRUE: [0.01; 0.40]; this means that attention shifting is significantly associated with school performance, controlled for prosocial behavior.
    3. FALSE: [0.00; 0.41]; this means the association between attention shifting and school performance does not significantly depend on prosocial behavior.
    4. FALSE: [0.00; 0.41]; this means that attention shifting is not significantly associated with school performance, controlled for prosocial behavior.
