To all:
        When I calculate bivariate correlations, the variables A and B
are correlated with an r=0.44 (positive).  In the multivariate
regression, adding another 3 or 4 variables (and method enter),
results that A is an independent predictor of B,  but with a
NEGATIVE beta !!
 Is this possible?  Thanks in advance.
