Prediction of Family Violence: Standardized beta coefficients and zero-order correlation coefficients resulting from a linear regression model on the total amount of family violence experienced

Predictor β Zero-order correlation p-value
Age -0.04 0.07 0.45
Gender (female) -0.09 -0.12 0.10
Economic Status -0.20 -0.09 < 0.001 ***
Father alive (yes) 0.04 0.06 0.50
Mother alive (yes) 0.08 0.08 0.12
Father drinks alcohol (yes) 0.16 0.18 < 0.01 **
Tsunami exposure (yes) -0.16 -0.14 < 0.01 **
Previous exposure to war (Nr of event types) 0.34 0.38 < 0.001 ***

Note: Full model's adjusted R2 = .22; F(8.27)= 11.11, p < .0001

Zero-order correlation is represented by Spearman's Rho for continuous predictor variables and point-biserial correlation for dichotomous predictor variables
