Pearson Correlation Coefficient Spss. Make sure pearson is checked under correlation coefficients. I demonstrate how to perform and interpret a pearson correlation in spss.
A value of 1 indicates a strong positive association and a value of 1 indicates a strong negative association. Click on analyze correlate bivariate. The larger the number the stronger the linear association between the two variables i e.
In actuality there is always a chance of error so you should report the value as p 001 if spss reports 000 and the number of pairs n 9.
These values range from 0 to 1 for positive correlations and 1 to 0 for negative correlations. Pearson correlations are only suitable for quantitative variables including dichotomous variables. The pearson correlation is also known as the product moment correlation coefficient pmcc or simply correlation. ρ 0 the population correlation coefficient is 0.
