Inother words, there was a statistically significantrelationship between the two variables. Statedotherwise, an individual in the immersion / emersionstage <strong>of</strong> Black racial identity developmentwould likely have a moderate to high total CTIscore.Hypothesis I was also further investigated byconducting a simple linear regression analysiswith the internalization subscale <strong>of</strong> the RIAS-B asthe dependent variable. Assuming an alpha level<strong>of</strong> .05, the analysis yielded a nonsignificant result(F= .002, df 1, 66, p = .96). In other words, therewas no statistically significant relationship betweenthe two variables. It is safe to assume thatthe exact nature <strong>of</strong> the relationship cannot beknown.Analysis <strong>of</strong> Hypothesis 2Hypothesis 2: those at a higher stage <strong>of</strong> racialidentity development will have less decision makingconfusion. To investigate hypothesis 2, a simplelinear regression analysis was conducted withthe pre-encounter subscale <strong>of</strong> the RIAS-B as theindependent variable and decision making confusionraw score as the dependent variable. At theassumed alpha level, the analysis Welded a significantresult (F = 13.36, df 1, 66, p = .001). In other
