Partial and semi-partial correlations

2. G89.2229 Lect 4M Suppression Sometimes the semipartial effect for X1 (i.e. b1) inY = b0 + b1X1 + b2X2 + eis larger in absolute magnitude than the bivariate effect inY = b0 + b1X1 + e
This has been called suppression
Example:
X1 is stress
Y is distress
X2 is coping
Classic pattern is when one of the three correlations is negative.
3. G89.2229 Lect 4M Spurious effect Consider a path model that resembles the mediation model. Suppose that there is a bivariate association between X and Y, but when W is considered, the semipartial effect b is zero. The original association is often said to be "spurious". It is explained by the common cause, W.
