Answer:

controlling for

predictor

criterion

beta

b

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiple regression can help eliminate internal validity problems by controlling for potential third variables. It also sets a predictor variable that acts as the independent variable, or the variable that will influence another variable; and a criterion variable that acts as a dependent variable, or the variable that is hypothesized to be affected by another variable. Effect size in multiple-regression analyses are represented by beta, which is a standardized effect size, and b which is an unstandardized effect size
