Research Question #1
What is the relationship between peer influence, self confidence,
self-efficacy, role model influence and support, extraversion, and
gender on the number of leadership positions held by Hispanic college students?
Research Question #1
Standard Multiple Regression
Procedure
Data Showed An Issue With
Multicollinearity.
Research Question #1
Stepwise Multiple Regression
Procedure
r Was Severely Limited.
Confounded Effects of
Independent Variables.
Prediction Equations Unstable.
Research Question #1
Unable To Show Predictability
We cannot say how the variables
together contribute to the number of
leadership positions held as a result.
Research Question #2
How does each of the independent
variables (peer influence, self-
confidence, self-efficacy, role model
influence and support, extraversion,
and gender) contribute to the number
of leadership positions held by
Hispanic College Students?
Null Hypothesis01
There is no statistically significant
relationship between peer
influence and the number of
leadership positions held by
Hispanic college students.
Null Hypothesis01
Peer Influence and Number of Leadership
Positions
r = .151
p = .013
Relationship Is Significant At The .05
Level.
Null Hypothesis02
There is no statistically significant
relationship between self-
confidence and the number of
leadership positions held by
Hispanic college students.
Null Hypothesis02
Self-Confidence and Number of
Leadership Positions
r = .157
p = .009
Relationship Is Significant At The .01
Level.
Null Hypothesis03
There is no statistically significant
relationship between self-efficacy
and the number of leadership
positions held by Hispanic college
students.
Null Hypothesis03
Self-Efficacy and Number of
Leadership Positions
r = .202
p = .001
Relationship Is Significant At The .01

p = .048
Relationship Is Significant At The .05
Level.
Null Hypothesis06
There is no statistically significant
relationship between gender and
the number of leadership positions
held by Hispanic college students.
Null Hypothesis06
Gender and
Number of Leadership Positions
(Nonparametric Correlation)
r = -.031
p = .599
Relationship Is Not Significant.
Research Question #2
Yes, There Is A Statistically
Significant Relationship Between
Peer Influence, Self-Confidence,
Self-Efficacy, and Extraversion and
the Number of Leadership Positions
Held By Hispanic College Students. As
such, there may be a contribution to the
number of leadership positions held.
Research Question #2
No, There Is Not A Statistically
Significant Relationship Between
Role Model Influence and Support
and Gender and the Number of
Leadership Positions Held By
Hispanic College Students. As
such, there may not be a contribution to
the number of leadership positions held
Conclusions
In General, Peers Play An Important Role In Number of Leadership Roles.
Supports Literature Which Identified Hispanic Student Benefit From Peer Interactions (Norton, 2008;
Hernandez, 2000)
Conclusions
There Is A Relationship Between Self-
Confidence Level & Positions Held.
Supports Literature Which Indicated
That Confidence Was Good For
Leadership (Humphrey, 2002; Ouellette, 1998).
Encompassed Leadership Skills From
Emotional Intelligence. (Nelson & Low, 2003).
Conclusions
There Is A Relationship Between
Self-Efficacy & Positions Held.
More Positions Hispanics Hold,
The More They Will Seek Out (Fertman &
Long, 1990; Silva 2007)
Conclusions
The study showed there was no
relationship between role model
influence and support and number
of positions held.
Contradicts the literature (Buford, 2001;
Gamboa & Vasquez, 2006; Ortiz, 2004; Hernandez, 2000).
Conclusions
The study showed Extraversion
was statistically significant to the
number of positions held.
All Participants in Shertzer & Shuh
Study Self-Identified As
Extraverted (2004).
Conclusions
Gender Was Not Statistically
Significant to the Number of
Positions Held.
Literature Indicated Differences (Lloyd, 2006; Dugan, Komives, & Segar, 2008).
