Correlation and dependence

consistent with the null hypothesis, which is seen in Tables 6 and 7. The p-value of 0.0087 provides solid evidence to support the present research when comparing the amount of time males spent participating in other activities when compared to the twelve week CCA. Additionally, the p-value of 0.0468 provides reasonable evidence to support the present research when comparing the amount of time males spent participating in art when compared to the eighteen week CCA. The scatterplots, Figures 1 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 points appear to have a stronger relationship at the amount of time spent participating in extracurricular activities…

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…

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…

homosexuality, in addition to the questionnaire, the participants also completed the LeMar and Kite questionnaire, in order to access the validity of the new scale. Before beginning the reliability analysis, the negatively worded questions were recoded in order for the high scores to mean the same thing regardless of its wording if this didn’t happen the reliability scores will be low, this was done by reversing the scores on these items, To conduct a reliability analysis, an item analysis, a…

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…

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…

processes. One of the five approaches used by 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…

Results: At the start of the experiment, the initial flow rate was established as 20 ml min-1. This means that there is a steady flow of fluid or blood in your body (in this case, water) at a rate of 20ml min-1. In order to find the final concentration of the Eosin (2,5 mg ml-1) in 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…
