Correlation and dependence

Explore Correlation and Regression Using the explore function within SPSS gives a clearer view of how the data is represented. The explore function helps to assess the variables within the investigation by visually identifying various aspects of the data, therefor revealing the true nature of the data (Field, 2013). For example, the data in the Chamorro-Premuzic.sav file can be evaluated in a number of ways, for example analyzing the data based on the gender grouping allow one to visualize the data by manipulating the data using gender as a factor, then placing the remainder of the values as dependent variables. Evaluating the data in this way gives the investigator a better understanding of how the data is either normally distributed…

Although it is a weak correlation, it indicates that an increase in cultivation year rate, the production follows in tandem. For example, the maximum rate of production (12 tons/ha) is mostly happening in maximum years of cultivation (year four). Conversely, the correlation of respondent age group and annual income is a negative relationship, which is -0.746. This is interpreted that as one variable increases in value, the second variable decreases in value. By the negative value of…

Statement of Purpose In today’s hyper-connected world, individuals increasingly rely on constantly evolving technology to maintain social relationships, both synchronously and asynchronously, regardless of physical proximity. The purpose of this paper is to better understand the correlation between the use of machine mediated communication (MMC) and communication apprehension (CA) in face-to-face communication. Specifically, the research will focus on the questions of whether the use of machine…

ways. For some, great lengths will be reached to be truly happy in all aspects of an individual’s life, both personal and professional. People may seek happiness through relationships, friendships, companions, in recreational activities, or at work. According to psychological research, there is a strong correlation between workplace happiness on the effects of mood in other activities. Such contentment is achieved by recognizing…

Through the course of the semester, each student was required to fill out a variety of personality tests. After each student completed the personality test, he or she would then give the test to someone who knows him or her well enough to answer the questions while pretending to be the student. The person who takes the quiz as if they are the student is called the informant. After the student and the informant take the tests, the student records the scores into a spreadsheet. After all the tests…

Correlation, also known as association, is the simultaneous variation in two variables. (Conley, pg. 46) Whereas, causation is the change in one factor of life directly causing a change in the other. (Conley, pg. 48) A causality is harder to prove than a correlation because more factors are needed to prove a causality. To prove causality three factors must be proven, correlation, time order, and ruling out alternative explanation. (Conley, pg. 48) Each one of these factors also have complex…

Discussion This longitudinal study assessed the extent to which academic achievement and engagement were predicted from the academic achievement and engagement of friends and network members. Concurrent Relations As expected, adolescent’s academic achievement was highly correlated with that of their friends and network members. This is consistent with findings from U.S. studies. Ryan (2001) found that students’ academic levels were similar to group’s academic levels with the correlations…

current study, the SDQ scores were only collected from children through self-report, multi-informant strategy by include parent reports and teacher reports could be used in future research to strength the research findings. Only one instrument was used in this study to evaluate the psychosocial health of children’s development as the dependent variable, which may not be valid and reliable for this study to be replicated. In order to improve the validity of psychosocial health evaluation as well…

Also, the variable happiness showed a positive correlation to academic functioning. Data Analysis Critique The data were analyzed using correlations. This type of data analysis studied the relationship between variables and chi-square test of model fit. Results Critique The major results of this study are that the three variables from emotion regulation were positively correlated with each other (including happiness, sadness, and anger). Also, peer assessed anger was negatively related to the…

This supports our hypothesis, which states, “Employees who are lead by individuals they believe are quality leaders, and are offered mentor-type relationships with management, will perform better and this will lead to more quality output for the company.” This positive correlation shows that our survey respondents believe that quality leadership and mentoring lead to quality employee behaviors yielding quality company output. This makes sense as the individuals with quality leadership and…
