Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient

afterwards. The purpose of a correlation is to examine the strength and direction of a relationship, to predict scores of one variable by using scores from another variable, and to test the relationship between two scale variables (i.e., reports of perceived threat while watching the video and reports of perceived threat while watching similar news topics), all of which our hypothesis aims to do. A Fisher’s r to z is then used because our hypothesis compares the Pearson correlation scores from…

Once this percentage was paired with each team 's record it seemed evident that they were related. To find out exactly how related they were I ran a correlation function. The result was very convincing at 0.695. The high correlation shows a strong relationship between winning games and yards leading to scores percentages. At 48.3%, the coefficient of determination explains for almost half of the win percentage. These results are very convincing and…

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…

After data collection, the study utilized Pearson’s Correlation Coefficients to measure the collected data and determine the following correlation in support of the hypothesis: there is a positive correlation between poor bison management practices in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, poor elk management practices in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem of Montana, and the spread of brucellosis in both wildlife and livestock during the past two decades; preventing bison from full population…

Given that mental health plays a leading role in ensuring dynamism and efficiency in any society, the present study aimed to investigate the correlations of alexithymia and perceived stress with mental health among the medical students. The present work was a descriptive and correlational study, and the statistical population comprised all students in the 18-31 age range studying at Kermanshah University of Medical Sciences during the academic year 2013-2014 (N=3730). Then a sample of 591…

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 psychiatrist and the two other psychiatrists was .62. Because the reliability coefficient is relatively high, we can assume that the BDI is a reliable test to…

These two variables were weakly correlated, r(206)= .16, p=.019, as summarized in Table 1. Although these two variables have a weak, positive correlation, this conclusion is still important due to a significant p-value. Therefore, the probability that this correlation arose due to sampling variation or chance is very low. We can then conclude that, in general, as perceived subjective norms by friends increase, amount of time spent on aerobic exercise…

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…
