Regression Analysis for Demographic Variables, Developmental
Assets, and Thriving
The regression analysis revealed a significant association between the asset
categories and thriving, F(12, 452) = 10.23, p <.001. In model 1, the demo-
graphic variables, gender, age, and parents’ educational level explained 2.3%
of the variance in thriving (R2 = .02). Including the developmental assets in
model 2, the explained variance rose to 21.4%, indicating that the asset cat-
egories explained 19.1% of the variance in thriving. Commitment to learning
