You can determine which independent variable has the strongest effect on the dependent variable by comparing unstandardized partial slope coefficients.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Unstandardized partial slope coefficients are influenced by the units of measurement of the variables, making direct comparisons between them to determine the strongest effect on the dependent variable inappropriate. Standardized coefficients (beta coefficients) are used for such comparisons as they are unitless and allow for direct comparison of the effect sizes of different independent variables on the dependent variable.
