Main effects refer to the independent variables' individual impact on the dependent variables. In this study, the independent variables are parental supportive listening and volunteer activity, and the dependent variables are delinquent behaviors and academic progress. Choice B, academic progress's effect on delinquent behaviors, does not represent a main effect being examined because academic progress is a dependent variable, not an independent variable.
