Sandra,
You're welcome.
I am not comfortable with your new interpretation. It does not
mention the adjustment that the model makes for the contributions of
the other variables, so it could be read as holding those other
variables constant. In particular, "For every one-percentage-point
increase in llti_stand" may suggest that you can increase llti_stand
by many percentage points. You need to show that your data would
support such changes.
