Document Summary
Key words (correlational and regression) that mean the statistic talked about will be correlation coefficient. Young adults (n=148) from a research methods course answered questions on two scales that targeted the following constructs: other-directedness (self-monitoring scale, 11 items; t/f scale, self-esteem (rosenberg self-esteem inventory; 10 items; 4 point likert) Need two interval level measures has to be a common scale of measurement, and 2 variables. Whenever you are talking about correlation there has to be a pair of data. 3. 4 means high self-esteem, 0. 17 means low on other-directedness. Scatterplot basically a way to show two people"s scores at the same time; properly interpreted portrays the usually imperfect relationship. Magnitude: descending to right = strong relationship. Seed chart example (lead to the invention of the correlation coefficient) The right to live does not connote the right of each man to reproduce his kind . Not everyone has the right to reproduce, just because you live does not mean you should procreate.
