Correlation r = 1.00
Regression Line . . . . . r = .64
Regression Line . . . . . r = .64
Negative Correlation r = - 1.00
Negative Correlation . . . r = - .85 . .
Zero Correlation . . . . . r = .00
Correlation Coefficient • The sign of a correlation (+ or -) only tells you the direction of the relationship • The value of the correlation only tells you about the size of the relationship (i.e., how close the scores are to the regression line)
Which is a bigger effect? r = .40 or r = -.40 How are they different?
Interpreting an r value • What is a “big r” • Rule of thumb: Small r = .10 Medium r = .30 Large r = .50
Practice • Do you think the following variables are positively, negatively or uncorrelated to each other? • Alcohol consumption & Driving skills • Miles of running a day & speed in a foot race • Height & GPA • Forearm length & foot length • Test #1 score and Test#2 score
Practice • #6.8 • #6.5 1) Draw a scatter plot 2) Estimate the correlation
6.8 • A) -.60 • B) -.95 • C) .50 • D) .25
6.5 • r = .51
. . . . .
Statistics Needed • Need to find the best place to draw the regression line on a scatter plot • Need to quantify the cluster of scores around this regression line (i.e., the correlation coefficient)
Correlation Coefficient • A correlation coefficient provides a quantitative way to express the degree of relationship between two variables • There are 3 different formulas presented in the book • Z-score formula is a good way to see “what's going on”
Blanched Formula r = XY = product of each X value multiplied by its paired Y value X = mean of variable X Y = mean of variable Y Sx = standard deviation of variable X Sy = standard deviation of variable Y N = number of pairs of observations
Blanched Formula r = XY = 84 X = 3.0 Y = 4.6 Sx = 1.41 Sy = 2.41 N = 5

Practice • What is the relationship between aggression and happiness?
Mean aggression = 14.50; Saggression = 4.43Mean happiness = 6.00; Shappiness = 2.16
Mean aggression = 14.50; Saggression = 4.43Mean happiness = 6.00; Shappiness = 2.16
Blanched Formula r = XY = 326 X = 6.0 Y = 14.50 Sx = 2.16 Sy = 4.43 N = 4
