  1. correlation Are two variables related? 1. Do they move together or opposite? 2. How strongly? (if they are strongly related, we can predict one from the other)

  2. correlation coefficient NO ASSN NEGATIVE POSITIVE -1.00 0 +1.00 = direction + / - number = strength

  3. sign (+ or -) move together or opposite? positive correlation + negative correlation -

  4. positive correlation Variable 1 Variable 2 # of shoes you own amt of credit card debt move together, in same direction

  5. correlational studies POSITIVE NEGATIVE NO ASSN

  6. Are shy people happy? To a group of people, give a questionnaire about their degree of shyness. To this same group, give a questionnaire about their degree of happiness. Each person has two scores. Use correlation. Is there a relationship between shyness & happiness? (Did one cause the other?)

  9. example Variable 1 Variable 2 # parties at your house # of friends linked at Facebook # parties at your house positively correlate with # of friends linked at Facebook e.g.

  10. correlation coefficient NO ASSN NEGATIVE POSITIVE -1.00 0 +1.00 = direction + / - = strength number weak (0 - .40) moderate (.41 - .69) strong (.70 – 1.00)

  11. correlation coefficient NO ASSN NEGATIVE POSITIVE -1.00 0 +1.00 = direction + / - = strength number

  12. correlation coefficient NO ASSN NEGATIVE POSITIVE -1.00 0 +1.00 = direction + / - = strength number
