1. Does the size of an adolescent’s family influence his or her self-esteem? Does TV viewing   affect self-        esteem? Using the NELS data, regress 10th-graders’ Self-Concept scores (F1Cncpt1) on Parent Education (BYParEd), Achievement (BYTests), Family Size (BYFamSiz), and TV Time (create a composite by calculation of the mean of BYS42A and BYS42B). Check the variables to make sure that you understand their metric (F1Cncpt1 has positive and negative values because it is a mean of
z
scores; positive scores represent more positive self-concept). Clean up the data, as needed, and run the multiple regression. Interpret your findings. Do any of your findings surprise you? Are you willing to interpret the regression coefficients as effects? Why or why not?
