What do partial regression plots represent?

Troubleshooting


Problem

I ran the SPSS Linear Regression procedure with several predictors and requested partial plots from the Plots dialog for that procedure. One of my predictors was binary with values of 0 and 1. In the partial plot for this predictor, the predictor is on the horizontal axis and the dependent variable (DV) is on the vertical axis. I expected the points on the plot to form 2 columns at the values of 0 and 1 on the horizaontal axis, but they are spread across the graph with some predictor values less than 0 and some predictor values greater than 1. What does this partial plot represent and why do the points not match observed values on the variables?
