Psychologists Todd and Worrell (2000) investigated why some women are more resilient than others, recovering from adversity well.
 
  They found that important variables included the number of problematic people in their lives and how the women compared themselves to others around them. In predicting resilience from the number of problematic people around the women and how the women evaluate others around them, the appropriate data analysis would involve
  a. the Pearson product-moment correlation.
  b. multiple regression.
  c. analysis of variance.
  d. tests of association.

  a. personality traits are not associated with suicide proneness.
  b. these traits are predictive of suicidal proneness only for non-students of college age.
  c. such correlations are significant predictors of suicide, but the predictive ability of the variables is quite low.
  d. these variables are significantly related to suicide proneness but not as strongly as lack of parental warmth is.
