Results

We hypothesized that the combined ICM skills would be highly predictive of the interrelated ICM issues (Hypothesis 1) and that the nature and overall puissance of relationships between these skills and results would support the multivariate issues of the composite skills in succession the composite outcomes (Hypothesis 2) Prior to testing our hypotheses, we examined the settles of independent and dependent variables for multicollinearity (defined as r > 90) As shown in Table 1 the vocational skills were interrelated and the vocational issues were interrelated, but neither place of skills or outcomes was multicollinear.

To example our hypotheses, we conducted a canonical correlational analysis, which is a series of correlations between independent and sustained by canonical variates. Each independent canonical variate is a linear combination of conceptually related independent variables (in this case the interrelated skills), and each sustained by canonical variate is a linear combination of conceptually related hanging variables (in this case the interrelated outcomes) Each pair of variates, which are correlated in the canonical correlation, is timeed a characteristic root. In this case, because we were testing all relationships predicted through the ICM, we made an a priori decision to examine solely the first characteristic root, which extracts a pair of variates representing the maximum amount of variance derivable from the data.
