I have looked at the .pdf version of the output that Bruce provided.
Google let me know that "Standardfehler" is a word meaning
standard error, so that the trailing r in the next line was not an "r"
of some kind.
Your worry, in this first message, is that "None of the IV ... correlates
with the DV." But that is clearly wrong. The regression test with
one variable is, exactly, a test on the correlation coefficient --
which is about .25 for both of the regressions, judging from
the standardized betas.
Perhaps you were looking at wrong place to find correlations.
