Notes:
R2 statistics refer to the cumulative variance associated with each step. Significance levels for R2 are based on the F-ratio associated with the R2 change at each step. Betas reported are unstandardized, after all variables are entered into the regression. The F statistic is for the full model on the final step with all variables entered.
* = p <.05; ** = p <.01; *** = p <.001
