Question

1. A researcher is examining whether sleep deprivation during the first three months of parenthood is predictive of symptoms of postpartum depression. The researcher collects data from 20 new parents on their perceived sleep deprivation and their symptoms of postpartum depression. The researcher computes the following: F (1, 18) = 10.39, $p$ = .005. Does sleep deprivation predict symptoms of postpartum depression? How do you know? 2. The researcher then decides to see if other variables are predictive of postpartum depression symptoms. The researcher collects information on the following: perceived social support, perceived birth experience, and perceived difficulties with breastfeeding. The researcher is specifically interested in what variable is most strongly predictive of symptoms of postpartum depression. What analysis would be most appropriate for this research question—correlation, single linear regression, multiple regression, or ANOVA? Explain.
