a. Dedendent Variable: Salary as of 20 April 2004.

Note: Variables in Regression
Salary Actual salary (in dollars) used; Data retrieved from the City University Personnel System (CUPS) database by Martin Fenton in Hunter College's Department of Human Resources on 20 April 2004.
Sex Female = 1
Years since degree 2003 - year of final degree reported on CUPS database; CUPS data retrieved by Martin Fenton in Hunter College's Department of Human Resources on 20 April 2004; this variable centered and the quadratic term was included
Time in current rank in years Number of years in current appointment; this variable was cented and the quadratic term was included
Rank Professor = 1; Associate Professor = 1
Department Departments were grouped into broader discipline categories (natural and social sciences) instead of using individual departments to ensure that a sufficient number of faculty fell into each category (discipline and rank); Natural Sciences = 1

Note: The regression output was generated by SPSS 11.5

Example: To predict the salary of a male assistant professor in the social sciences who has had his degree for 5 years and has been in that rank for 2 years, look first at the constant term, $71540.46, listed in the first row in the Coefficients table. Since the dummy variables were chosen as they were, the constant represents the salary for a male assistant professor in the social sciences. Multiply 5 (Years since degree) by 793.8 and 2 (Time in current rank in years) by -271.71. Add these totals to the constant to get a more accurate estimate of salary. The outcome using these unstandardized regression coefficients is $74966.04.
