Hierarchical Multiple Regression Models of the Contribution of Gestational Age (GA) and Socioeconomic Status (SES) to IQ
| Outcome | Predictors | R2 | P (model) | B | SEB | β | P (predictor) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| IQ | .164 | <001* | |||||
| GA | 1.118 | .238 | .405 | <.001* | |||

| IQa | .195 | <001* | |||||
| GA | 1.204 | .239 | .436 | <.001* | |||
| SES | 5.796 | 2.796 | .179 | .040* | |||
B indicates unstandardized coefficient; SE B, standard error of B; β, standardized coefficient.
Final model. Step 1, GA. For GA, higher GA was associated with higher IQ. Step 2, SES. For SES, higher SES was associated with higher IQ.
Significance set at p < .05.
