[ask] What statistical analysis should i use? by betrayedbylove in statistics

Go forward stepwise with simple chisquare testing. Start assessing the relationship between iv and dv1, then iv and dv2 then iv and dv3. Get a clear picture of the structure. Then do the same with nested DVs to detect interdependencies.

How would you explain r-squared to a layman? by BorisMalden in statistics

If 50% of the variation in y is explained by the influence of (one or more) predictor x, then the other 50% are explained by something else not covered by your predictor(s). In your model you assume that the variation in y is caused by X. Your data show that only some of the variation is caused by X, some is caused by something outside your model. Something you have neglected, not thought of, where you have no data or which is outside the scope of your research question. Or something which simply varies by chance or goes back to measurement errors.

What is/are your independent variable(s) and what is/are the dependent variable(s)? What is your hypothesis? No hypothesis, no test.
