Canonical correlation

with the conclusions made by the author(s) in the discussion section? Explain your rationale. I believe the authors made an evaluation appropriate to the results of the study. The authors based the implication for school psychologist only on the correlations that were significant, and suggested improvements on practices of school psychologist based on results that were not significant. For instance, the authors suggested that school psychologist address beliefs about ADHD as well as…

The purpose of the study, A Psychological Exploration of Engagement in Geek Culture, was to identify and understand why people participate in geek culture. Geek culture is defined as a subculture of enthusiasts that are interested in “obscure” media such as anime, sci-fi, and videogames. However, there are many faucets of the culture and it has become increasingly appealing to mainstream audiences, causing a greater shift in active engagement. Despite geek interests once being marginalized,…

Animal deaths, especially from anthropogenic causes, are valuable indicators of ecological and conservation problems that span a particular population (Collins 2011). Deer mortalities are no exception to this rule of thumb, as deer-vehicle collisions (DVCs) are a growing problem in the US and reflect the displacement of deer populations. Over 1 million DVCs occur in the US annually and result in the loss of human life, human injury, and considerable financial costs resulting from the vehicle…

which contains 21 items with a possible score range from 0 to 63, includes the risk of developing different interpretations of test scores depending on the rater. Bumberry et al. (1978) addressed this issue by calculating a Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient between primary (i.e. structured interview used for over 2 decades) and secondary raters (i.e. board certified psychiatrists with 9 and 4 years of experience). Researchers found that inter-rater reliability between the primary…

and 2, provide weak positive linear relationships between the amount of time spent participating in extracurricular activities when compared to campus common assessment data. Table 8 depicts the weak positive relationship as it pertains to the correlation coefficient, ranging from +.20 to +.29, for a number of the comparisons between amount of time spent participating in extracurricular activities when compared to CCA results. When exploring the scatterplots further, Figures 1 and 2, the data…

A study was conducted to measure an individual’s attitudes towards homosexuality, attitude scales have been devised from Larsen et al in 1980 to LeMar and Kite’s 1997 attitude scale, to reflect modern day attitudes towards homosexuality a study was conducted using a new scale as the old one is outdated, using this new scale and additional study was conducted into the attitudes of an individual and the participant’s levels of religiosity to test the relationship between the two topics. Various…

Avdic, 2011). Discipline and organisation of conscientious students (Komarraju, Karau, & Schmeck, 2009) enable effective learning methods, especially the two learning styles of methodical study and synthesis analysis that have the highest positive correlation with both conscientiousness and GPA. These two learning styles complement the traits of conscientious students which when paired with motivation, result in the highest academic performance of all five personalities (Komarraju, Karau,…

self-esteem which were the Big Five Inventory (BFI) and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale. The relationship between the two variables was statistically analyzed using the Pearson’s r correlational test. This study hypothesized that there is a positive correlation between extraversion and self-esteem. The results showed that extraversion had a non-significant relationship with self-esteem thus failing to reject the null hypothesis. Introduction…

psychologists is correlation. Correlations provide data that enables psychologists to answer questions that have not been answered before. Correlation method is defined as “A research method used to examine relationships between variables, which are expressed in the form of a statistical measure called a correlation coefficients” (Nevid,201,p24). Unlike an experiment where one variable is dependent and the other is independent, both variables in a correlation remain constant. For each…

the “blood” after 60 minutes a calibration curve had to be created by making up seven different solutions of eosin (11,25 μg ml-1) and water to compare it against their absorbance that was calculated in a spectrophotometer. Figure 1 shows this correlation. It is clearly evident that the higher the concentration of eosin in a test tube, the higher the absorbance of that test tube will be. It shows that absorbance is directly proportional to concentration. This…
