Explanatory Paragraph #1

Ŷ= 9.896+ .604(attendance) + .135(attachment)

A multiple regression analysis was conducted using satisfaction as the dependent variable

and attendance, attachment, enduring involvement, identity salience, and situational involvement

as the independent variables. The overall status of the model indicated that there was a successful

Omnibus- F test (p=.001<.05) (F=65.603). Attendance and attachment were significant

predictors. However, enduring involvement, identity salience, and situational involvement were

not significant predictors. The coefficient of determination (R²) was .837, indicating that 84

percent of the variation can be explained by the equation. The coefficient of correlation (r)

was .915. This indicates a strong relationship between satisfaction and its predictors. The

adjusted R², which considers the number of predictor and sample size was .824, indicating that

there were no extraneous predictors in the model. Standard error of the estimate, which indicates

how much error is in the prediction of the dependent variable was 1.181 verifying that the

equation was performing satisfactory. The tolerance coefficient for attendance, identity salience,

and situational involvement were below the minimum threshold value (.19), therefore, multi-

collinearity was present and could not be trusted.

Explanatory Paragraph #2

A bivariate correlation analysis was conducted using satisfaction, attendance, attachment,

enduring involvement, identity salience, and situational involvement. Attendance, attachment,

identity salience, and situational involvement were all positively correlated with satisfaction.

However, enduring involvement was negatively correlated with satisfaction.
