I am doing a linear regression with an index (values from -400 to 400) as my continuous dependent variable. It is a misperception index which assesses how far off the correct score the respondent is. A score of 0 is someone who is 100% accurate whereas someone who has scored -400 has widely underestimated and vice versa . My independent variables are the Big 5 personalities which are measured on single item Likert scales of 1-14. I have received the below output and am unsure about how to interpret the coefficients qualitatively. For example, is it that a one unit increase in being open leads to a 1.78 increase in their estimate? Can I interpret the magnitude of the coefficients or only the direction? I have also tried making the index take only positive values, as it is not of paramount importance to maintain the relative value but rather the absolute difference between 0 and their score.
