Rosie,

If you have a very large sample size, you may get results that are statistically significant despite being of little practical significance. If you are erroneously using very large f-weights, you could get the same result. For a better answer than that, you will have to supply more information. Show us your regression results and provide a little background about the variables and why you think it substantively unlikely that all of the coefficients would be significant.

Does anyone know what could have gone wrong with the following situation? A regression analysis produced the coefficients that are statistically significant at .001 level. This is unusual to me. What could have caused such a problem? Many thanks for any advice.
