Report (APA Style)
Based on the hypothetical research model provided in the exam, this report includes
correlation and regression analysis in APA format using proposed variables.

Interpretation
The correlation table indicates that Sleep Duration is positively associated with Mental
Health, while Workload and Emotional Exhaustion are negatively correlated. Work-related
Stress shows the strongest negative correlation with Mental Health.
In regression analysis, Step 1 shows that IVs significantly predict Mental Health. Adding the
Mediator (Work-related Stress) in Step 2 improves the model, indicating mediation. In Step
3, Shift Schedule and its interaction with Stress are significant, proving moderation. This
shows that stress affects mental health differently based on the shift schedule.
