Submission Guidelines:
Upload your submission to Canvas in
Word
format. Please make sure that you write your name
(individual) or the names of the participating group members on the final submission. If you are
working individually, you may consult with your classmates, but the writing must be your own.
If you are working in a group, make sure that you contribute to the discussion, planning and
write-up of the assignment. Please do not free-ride as it would be unfair for others to carry the
weight of a non-participating member.
Submission on Canvas (MS Word or PDF) by one
member is sufficient if you worked in groups.
Name(s):
Please read the case on the following pages and answer the corresponding questions
In this assignment, you are going examine the factors that influence a consumer’s likelihood to
view a YouTube video by a vlogger. The data was collected from 276 American adults using an
online survey developed on Qualtrics. Participants in the survey were shown one short video by a
vlogger and were asked to respond to a few questions about the vlogger, and the content itself.
The videos seen by different participants were not necessarily the same video or by the same
vlogger.
The data collector has shared results for some of the data that was collected. There are 6 different
variables in this dataset as follows:
1.
Views – How likely the consumers are to view other videos by the vlogger
2.
ProfSetup – The extent to which the vlogger used a professional vlogging setup visible in
the video (e.g., professional cameras, microphones, background wall and props)
3.
Distinct – How different or similar did consumers find this vlogger versus others that
they know of
4.
DiverseTopic – How diverse or specialized is the content developed by the vlogger
5.
MaxLearning – The extent to which consumers think they can get maximum learning on
diverse topics from the YouTube channel of this particular vlogger only
6.
ContentQual – The extent to which consumers found the content by the vlogger of good
quality
Using the dataset and the description of the variables above, you are going to complete the
following tasks.

Section 1:
In this part of the assignment, you are tasked with determining whether having a professional
setup (ProfSetup) is related to views received on a video on YouTube (Views). For this, while
collecting data from participants, your team show a YouTube video to participants and then
asked the following questions:
“ProfSetup”
= To what extent does the YouTube video display a typical professional
vlogging setup? (1 = Extremely low, 7 = Extremely high)
“Views”
= How likely are you to view other videos by this vlogger? (1 = Very unlikely, 7
= Very likely)
A.
Write down the null and alternate hypothesis for this correlation analysis
B.
Using the variables “Views” and “ProfSetup” determine the Pearson correlation
coefficient. Please provide the output from SPSS/Excel and explain what is relationship
between the two variables.
(10 points)
Section 2
:
In this section you will assess whether people are more likely to view videos from a YouTuber
who is very distinct from other YouTubers, or one that is very similar to others.
In your data collection exercise, you had asked participants to indicate about the level of
similarity the vlogger in the video had compared to other vloggers participants know of.
“Distinct”
= To what extent is this vlogger similar or distinct from other vloggers on
YouTube that you follow? (1 = Extremely similar, 7 = Extremely distinct)
“Views”
= How likely are you to view other videos by this vlogger? (1 = Very unlikely, 7
= Very likely)
A.
Write down the null and alternate hypothesis for this regression analysis
B.
Run a bivariate/linear regression analysis on SPSS/Excel to assess whether “Distinct”
predicts “Views”. Please provide the three output tables (Model Summary, ANOVA and
Coefficients) from SPSS/Excel in the write-up
C.
Using the coefficients table, interpret the results and explain what it means. In your
explanation, be very clear in the wording such that a person who has never conducted
regression analysis, is easily able to understand the results.
Hint: if you do not recall how to interpret the results, please refer to the slides on chapter
12
(15 points)
Section 3
:
In order to find whether diverse type of content, and the quality of the content itself, would help
a vlogger on YouTube in attracting more views to their YouTube channel, each participant was
also asked the following questions in the survey:
DiverseTopic
= How diverse, in your opinion, is the vlogger in terms of the topics he/she
speaks about? (1 = Very diverse, 7 = Very specialized)

MaxLearning
= To what extent do you agree with the following statement – “If I wanted
to learn about different topics, I would visit the YouTube channel of this vlogger and be
able to find content on most of what I am looking for” (1 = Strongly Disagree, 5 =
Strongly Agree)
“ContentQual” =
To what extent do you think this vlogger makes quality content? (1 =
Very low quality, 7 = Very high quality)
A.
Run a multiple regression analysis on SPSS/Excel to assess whether “DiverseTopic”,
“MaxLearning” and “ContentQual” predict “Views”. Please provide the three output
tables (Model Summary, ANOVA and Coefficients) from SPSS in the write-up
B.
Using the coefficients table, interpret the results for each independent variable and
explain what it means. In your explanation, be very clear in the wording such that a
person who has never conducted regression analysis, is easily able to understand the
results.
Hint: if you do not recall how to interpret the results, please refer to the slides on chapter
12.
Excel users can interpret the coefficients the same way they do in Section 2 above
since MS Excel does not produce standardized coefficients described in the slides.
(20 points)
Section 4
:
A. Describe what is multicollinearity and explain one possible solution to deal with
multicollinearity in the dataset.
(hint: Read the last few slides from chapter 12 if you do not recall what multicollinearity
is)
