ABSTRACT
This chapter presents and analyses the regression results of the discourse quality index components. It starts by presenting important descriptive statistics relating to the separate DQI components as well as the two indices used in the regression analyses: Deliberative Action (DA) and Deliberative Reaction (DR). Information about the factor analysis used for arriving at those indices is presented prior to their descriptive statistics. The chapter then moves to the presentation and explanation of the regression results. The results relating to all the participants are presented first, followed by the results relating to the state-related hypotheses (SRH). The chapter ends with a concluding discussion linking the results to the hypotheses advanced in this study.
