Multiple Regression
It is hypothesized that self-efficacy, appraisal, challenge and resources will negatively predict perceived stress whilst avoidant strategies will increase levels of perceived stress.
Sample Description
The sample consisted of 100 participants, 27 males and 73 females. Forty percent of the participants were not students, 30 were studying as part time students and 29% were studying as full time students. Fifty-five percent of the sample was employed full time, 25% were employed part-time and 20% reported being unemployed. Participants in the sample ranged from 16 to 70 years of age, with an average age of 35.6.
The assumption of normality was met for each individual variable. All of the variables included in the regression analysis displayed relatively normal distributions. The distribution for Self-Efficacy has a slight negative skew, but not one that should influence the interpretation of the results. An examination of scatter plots also revealed no problems with respect to linearity.

The regression analysis was run with and without the univariate outliers; the results remained robust, and thus the results with outliers included are presented below.
Regression Analysis
A multiple regression analysis was conducted to evaluate how well 5 different variables predict perceived stress. The predictors were individual self-efficacy (SELF-EFFICACY), how an individual appraises stressful situations (APPRAISAL), whether or not an individual views a situation as a challenge (CHALLENGE), an individual's use of resources (help seeking) (RESOURCES), and whether or not the individual avoids the situation (AVOIDANT). The results of the multiple regression analysis are shown in Figure 1. The regression equation with all 5 predictor variables was significantly related to perceived stress, R2 = .279, adjusted R2 = .240, F (5, 94) = 7.263, p = .000. The Bs, as labeled on the output, are the weights associated with the regression…

Problem Statement and Purpose of Study Self-care regimens that require a lot of input are necessary in making the study of diabetes effective. A lot of people with diabetes undergo distress. The diabetes distress is commonly described as the distress that arises from the effect of the diabetes symptoms, regimens for self management, the fear that there would be complications and functionality failure. The diabetes stress stabilizes after some time.
The assumption here is that counselor burnout may be heightened as a result of the diversity of students who attend post secondary educational institutions, and the variety of services the 2-year postsecondary counselors must provide to these students. This assumption is congruent with the findings of a study by Wilkerson and Bellini (2006) who advise, "Professional school counselors are asked to perform multiple duties as part of their daily
auditory learners), motivation and personality such as extroversion vs. introversion, although the articles' authors suggests that tailoring material to expressed learner preferences are not always the best ways to achieve positive outcomes. Learners are not always clear as to their true learning orientation and learner styles are not 'fixed' but may vary according to the type of media used and the subject material. Using a variety of media may
It is not always easy to keep childcare arrangements running smoothly and problems may arise from time to time. . In addition to these stresses, familial stresses might occur. For instance, Grandparents and parents may have different views about raising children. Parents' expectations of grandparents may exceed their resources. Grandchildren may not always obey or comply with grandparents' rules. Grandparents may not like the role of strict disciplinarian when discipline
Schizophrenia is a heterogeneous disorder and can be characterized by any of the following symptoms: intellectual deterioration, emotional blunting, disorganized speech, disorganized behavior, social isolation, delusions, and/or hallucinations (American Psychiatric Association [APA], 2000). In the current version of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV-TR) schizophrenia has now been divided into five subcategories (APA, 2000). These subtypes are defined based on the presence of positive symptoms (excesses, such
