Most researchers believe that using more than one predictor or potentially explanatory variable can paint a more complete picture of how the world works than is permitted by simple linear Regression because behavioral scientists generally believe that behav-ior, attitudes, feelings, and so forth are determined by Multiple variables rather than just one. Using only a single variable as a predictor or explanatory variable as is done in simple linear Regression will at best capture only one of those sources.
