correlation

Cards (13)

  • Correlations are similarities between two categories.
  • A mathematical technique, researchers investigate an association between two co-variables.
  • Positive correlation is when one variable goes up so does the other.
  • Negative correlation is when one variable goes up so does the other.
  • None correlation is when there is no relationship between the two.
  • Experiment has a direct and deliberate manipulation of the independent variable to measure the dependent variable.
  • Evaluations provide insight into relationships of two variables and allow future research.
  • Evaluations are quick and inexpensive, using secondary data and quantitative data.
  • The maximum value of a correlation co-efficient is 1, indicating how closely co variables are related.
  • Limitations of evaluations include not understanding how variables are related, no cause and effect, and the potential for intervening variables such as sleep, mental illness, jobs, and environment.
  • Evaluations are possible to do further experiment.
  • Correlation does not involve the manipulation of the variables.
  • Correlation is not causation.
