Subject:      Multiple regression: calculating shared variance with 3 or more
              variables.
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed

Hi

I am using multiple regression to determine predictors of academic
achievement (ENTER) . To judge the  importance of each predictor
variable I have used part (unique) correlations. However, the
variance shared with other independent variables in predicting ENTER
scores is also important. Is there a  way of calculating variance
shared between three or more predictor variables  using SPSS
(syntax?); or should I just leave this to SEM?

Karen

PS: "Thank you"
