Spearman’s Rho
is a
non-parametric
statistical test of
correlation
that allows a researcher to determine the
significance
of their investigation.
The
significance
level
typically used in
Spearman's Rho
Test is
0.05.
Spearman's Rho
test is used to look at the significant
relationship
between two variables.
Spearman's Rho
uses
ordinal
data to calculate the
relationship
between the variables.
Spearman's Rho
calculates a
correlation
coefficient
which will be between
-1
and
+1.
The value of
Rho
(Rs) must be
greater
than or
equal
to the
critical
value to be
significant.
The correlation
coefficient
in a
Spearman's Rho
test tells us the
type
and
strength
of the
correlation.
A
Spearman's Rho
test uses
quantitative
scores for
two
or more variables to calculate the
correlation
coefficient.
