Document Summary
Purple text prof"s speech (from lecture 9) Data analysis technique that is commonly used in self-determination theory. Visually displays variable relationships; way of understanding a number of relationships between variables. Extension of multiple regression: multiple regression more than one predictive variable and more than one outcome variable. Always includes a visual display of different variables involved and relationships between them. Researcher tries to figure out which variables are related to which other variables and they sketch out a path diagram: researcher sketches out what they think the relationship is going to be. To read: numbers are correlation coefficients (higher numbers, stronger pathways), see if data fits with model. Relates to self-determination theory and that people have characteristic styles of orienting towards the environment. Individual differences in the ways that people self-regulate. Typical ways of self-regulating people have stable causality orientation across a variety of contexts. With causality-oriented people you can see what their relationship is to different things.
