Question
The analyses below were carried out on data from a sample of young adults aged between 20 and 40 years who were interviewed via a questionnaire about their cultural preferences. The research questions are:
1: to what extent the preference for cultural holidays (variable: CULVAC (scale 0-1): a higher score means a stronger preference for cultural holidays) is caused by the social position of the parental environment (measured is the education of the parents (variable: FAMEDUC (scale 0-7), ranging from primary education (0) to university (7), a higher score means a higher education) and
2: whether this relationship can be explained by the own achieved level of education (variable: EDUC (scale 0-6), ranging from lower vocational education (0) to university (6), a higher score means a higher education).
Below are the results of two regression analyses.
Regression analysis 1:
Regression analysis 2:
What is the indirect effect (mediation effect) of ‘FAMEDUC’ through
‘EDUC’ on ‘CULVAC’?
Just give a number in three decimal places, nothing else
