Multiple linear regression models predicting total coach self-efficacy score among coaches working with athletes without disabilities vs. athletes with disabilities

Predictor Coaches of athletes without disabilities (n = 157) Coaches of athletes with disability (n = 145)
B (SE) β t p 95% CI for B B (SE) β t p 95% CI for B
Intercept 65.125 (12.481) — 5.218 < 0.001*** 40.462 to 89.788 67.361 (13.244) — 5.086 < 0.001*** 41.173 to 93.550

Model fit (no disabilities): R = 0.462; R²=0.214; Adj. R²=0.177; F(7,149) = 5.786; p < 0.001; Durbin–Watson = 1.519; For coaches working with non-disabled athletes, variance inflation factor (VIF) values ranged between 1.07 and 1.72, indicating no evidence of multicollinearity. Model fit (disability): R = 0.417; R²=0.174; Adj. R²=0.132; F(7,137) = 4.126; p < 0.001; Durbin–Watson = 1.234; For coaches working with athletes with disabilities, VIF values ranged between 1.03 and 1.98, also suggesting that multicollinearity was not a concern

B unstandardized regression coefficient, SE Standard error, β  standardized coefficient, CI Confidence interval, Adj. adjusted, CI Confidence interval, DW Durbin–Watson, SE Standard error. Categorical predictors were dummy-coded using the following reference categories: sex = female, relationship status = in a relationship, and income level = low income, and education = Secondary school. Coaching level (grade) was entered as an ordinal variable with categories 1–5 (higher values indicate higher coaching grade)

p values: p < 0.05 **; p < 0.001 ***
