					<description><![CDATA[TL;DR — Quick Answer Mediation and moderation answer two different questions about a relationship between variables. Mediation asks how or why X affects Y — it identifies a third variable (M) that carries the effect, so X influences M, and M in turn influences Y. Moderation asks when or for whom X affects Y — [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[MK — Dr. Madhuri Kanojiya, Founder &#38; Director · Empire Research Press Most researchers meet the t-test and ANOVA first, run into a dataset that breaks their assumptions, and only then discover there&#8217;s an entire parallel set of statistical tests built for exactly that situation. Non-parametric tests don&#8217;t get the spotlight parametric tests do, but [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[TL;DR — Quick Answer Cronbach&#8217;s alpha (α) is the most widely used measure of internal consistency reliability — it tells you how closely the items in a multi-item scale hang together as a measure of one construct. Alpha ranges from 0 to 1, and the conventional benchmark is that 0.70 or above is acceptable, 0.80+ [&#8230;]]]></description>

In simple terms, it answers the question: &#8220;How does Y change as X changes?&#8221; Simple linear regression uses one predictor; multiple regression uses several.

					<description><![CDATA[TL;DR — Quick Answer Correlation means two variables are related — they tend to change together. Causation means one variable actually causes a change in the other. The crucial principle is that correlation does not imply causation: just because two things are related does not mean one causes the other. A correlation can arise from [&#8230;]]]></description>
