Hypotheses Testing Sample Clauses

Hypotheses Testing. The first hypothesis in this study was that higher levels of stress would be correlated with increased externalizing behaviors prior to treatment. A partial correlation controlling for ethnicity and SES did not yield significant correlations between the different types of stressors and externalizing behavior (see Table 3). Regression analyses testing for a curvilinear relationship between cortisol and externalizing behaviors at pretreatment also yielded nonsignificant results (F Change=.

Hypotheses Testing. In chapter three, we proposed three hypotheses. These were tested using statistical results from regression estimates. The hypotheses were: The hypothesis is supported by the results of our regression model. The model is significant at F= 10.65 at p<0.01, however as we look in the equation given below. δRN ⁄ δLogRD = 5.524 – 1.670 (logRD) + 0.305 (LSP) = -1.670 + 0.305 (LSP) The value of coefficient of interaction effect is 0.305 which is obviously non zero, and the t- value = 3.475 at p<.01 which shows that the value of interaction effect is highly significant and depending upon the level of logistic service of the seller. Therefore, we can safely say that the effect of relationship duration on relational norms is contingent on the level of logistic performance which is our main hypothesis H1. Similarly, from the above graph of Figure 6.1, the value of interaction effect of relationship duration and relational norms is -1.670 (which is a negative value). So, when the logistic performance level is zero or less than 5.47, the value of interaction effect remains in the negative region of the graph. Thus, we can interpret from this result that at a low or modest level of logistic service performance the effect of relationship duration on relational norms is negative which proves our second hypothesis (H2) which states that the effect of relationship duration is negative on the relational norms when the logistic performance is low / modest. The same can be discussed by elaborating the results from the model / graph in the following matrix. Table 6-3: Extended Relationship Matrix When the relationship duration is short and the level of logistic performance is low / modest, we are in cell 3. This shows the modestly negative relationship between relationship duration and relational norms. We can land into cell 3 from cell 1 as well. In this situation it may be a case of adverse selection that the performance level of the seller deteriorated sharply but the buyer is still in relationship with this seller. This situation may be attributed to various reasons, for example, the buyer is new entrant into this marker and is unaware of the market dynamics, other situation may be that market structure is monopolistic in nature for this particular product and the buyer is not left with any other option in the short term. But this is a transitionary stage and soon it will end up by moving in either cell 2 or cell 4. If on the feedback of the buyer, seller improves its logis...
Hypotheses Testing. The first hypothesis is that co-morbid internalizing behavior problems will predict worse treatment outcomes. This hypothesis was tested using multiple regression analyses with CBCL externalizing behavior scores and self reported delinquency as the dependent measures. These analyses revealed a significant positive association between internalizing scores at pre-treatment and delinquency scores at post-treatment (β =.16, p=.04), controlling for age, gender, and delinquency scores at pre-treatment. It was found that internalizing scores at pre-treatment accounted for 2.3% of the variance in delinquency scores at post-treatment. No significant association was found between internalizing scores at pre-treatment and CBCL externalizing scores at post-treatment (β =.05, p=.50). The second hypothesis was that co-morbid internalizing behavior problems would be associated with greater stress during treatment. Regression analyses found a significant association between internalizing scores at pre-treatment and total caregiver stress (β =.24, p=.01), controlling for age and gender. The regression showed that internalizing scores at pre- treatment accounted for 5.1% of the variance in total caregiver stress. Regression analyses also found a significant association between internalizing scores at pre-treatment and youth-related caregiver stress (β =.21, p=.01), controlling for age and gender. Internalizing scores at pre- treatment accounted for 4.0% of the variance in youth-related caregiver stress.

For testing of usage results, AT&T shall request that TWTC set up a production (live) file. The live test may consist of TWTC’s employees making test calls for the types of services TWTC requests on ODUF. These test calls are logged by TWTC, and the logs are provided to AT&T. These logs will be used to verify the files. Testing will be completed within thirty (30) days from the date on which the initial test file was sent.

  • Substance Abuse Testing The Parties agree that it is in the best interest of all concerned to promote a safe working environment. The Union has no objection to pre-employment substance abuse testing when required by the Employer and further, the Union has no objection to voluntary substance abuse testing to qualify for employment on projects when required by a project owner. The cost and scheduling of such testing shall be paid for and arranged by the Employer. The Union agrees to reimburse the Employer for any failed pre-access Alcohol and Drug test costs.

  • Alcohol Testing Alcohol testing will be conducted by using an evidential breath-testing device (EBT) approved by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. A screening test will be conducted first. This initial screening may be accomplished using a saliva test kit. If the result is an alcohol concentration level of less than 0.02 percent, the test is considered a negative test. If the alcohol concentration level is 0.02 percent or more, a second confirmation test using the EBT will be conducted. The procedures that will be utilized by the lab for collection and testing of the specimen are attached hereto as Appendix A.

Seller shall have the right to have a representative present during each such test. Seller may request, and Company shall perform, if requested, tests in addition to the every fifth-year test and Seller shall pay the cost of such tests. Company may, in its sole discretion, perform tests in addition to the fifth year test and Company shall pay the cost of such tests. If any of the revenue meters or metering equipment is found to be inaccurate at any time, as determined by testing in accordance with this Section 10.2 (Meter Testing), Company shall promptly cause such equipment to be made accurate, and the period of inaccuracy, as well as an estimate for correct meter readings, shall be determined in accordance with Section 10.3 (Corrections).
