The standardized coefficient (beta) of .501 for a given independent variable indicates that one standard deviation of change in that variable is associated with about half of a standard deviation of change in the dependent variable.

Question

This is the definition of a standardized coefficient (beta), where the value represents the amount of change in the dependent variable (in standard deviation units) associated with one standard deviation of change in the independent variable. A beta of .501 indicates a moderate positive relationship between the two variables, where a larger value of the independent variable is associated with a larger value of the dependent variable.
