I have completed a Linear Multiple Regression in the SPSS and I need help with interpreting and writing the results using the APA format. The dataset (Child Aggression.sav) is from the Field's text.

The information is below and the dataset and Output from SPSS is attached.

Variables measured were Parenting style (high score = bad parenting practices), Computer Games (high score = more time spent playing computer games), Television (high score = more time spent watching television), Diet (high score = the child has a good diet low in harmful additives), and Sibling Aggression (high score = more aggression seen in their older sibling). Past research indicated that parenting style and sibling aggression were good predictors of the level of aggression in the younger child. All other variables were treated in an exploratory fashion. The other variables were treated in an exploratory fashion. The data are in the file Child Aggression.sav. I need to analyze them with multiple regressions.
