The Nature of Correlational ResearchThe Nature of Correlational Research
Correlational research are designed to determine the degree of relationshipdetermine the degree of relationship between 2 or more variables.
Often naturally occurring variables are:* * Intelligence and GPAIntelligence and GPA* * Aggression and watching TV ShowsAggression and watching TV Shows* * Alcohol consumption and diving abilityAlcohol consumption and diving ability* * A person’s likability and their physical A person’s likability and their physical attractivenessattractiveness
Also known as “Associational Research”“Associational Research”

The relationship between two or more factors are explored, without manipulatingwithout manipulating any of the variables being investigated.
It seeks to describe the existing describe the existing relationshiprelationship between variables.
This degree of relationship is usually done with the use of a correlation coefficient.

Positive Correlation means that high scores in one variable (X) are associated with high scores in another variable (Y).
Negative Correlation means that high scores in one variable (X) are associated with low scores in another variable (Y).

With correlational research, we can only show the magnitude or degree of relationship or
association between variables, NOT the CAUSE OF RELATIONSHIP.

Explaining Important Human BehaviorsExplaining Important Human BehaviorsExample:
Identify factors which might have caused underachievement among senior high school students
Correlate academic performance for the 1st semester of the year with study habits, adjustment problems and self concept scores.
Results: Study habits were highly associated with the students’ academic performance.
Results will serve as a s springboard in searching for causes of the underachievement.

STEP 1: Problem SelectionSTEP 1: Problem Selection
The problem have to be selected, defined and delimited. Is variable X related to Y?How well does variable X predict variable Y?What relationships exist among a number of
variables and what predictions can be made based in them?

Use random sampling techniques. Identify the population fro which the data
on each variable can be collected to be followed by the determination of the sample size.
Use the formula in computing for the n.

Instruments to be used in measuring the variables to be correlated have to be identified.Questionnaires, interview guides, records and
documents Instruments to be used has to be valid,
reliable and should yield quantitative data.

Pearson’s r measures the extent to which Pearson’s r measures the extent to which paired scores occupy the same or opposite positions within their own distributions; it will tell you: the degree or strength of relationship
(-1.0 to 1.0) the direction of relationship (positive or
negative)

Strength of the RelationshipStrength of the RelationshipThis is revealed by the absolute value of a
correlation coefficient (such as Pearson’s r) r = 0 means no relationship between variables r = 1.0 indicates a perfect relationship, meaning
that if you know the value of one of the variables, then you could exactly predict the value of the other one.

Direction of the RelationshipDirection of the RelationshipThis is revealed by whether the value of a
correlation coefficient is positive or negative. If r = 0 to -1.0If r = 0 to -1.0
A negative relationship between the variables (e.g. as the amount of alcohol consumed increases, the GPA decreases)
If r = 0 to +1.0If r = 0 to +1.0 Indicates a positive correlation (e.g. as physical
attractiveness increases the more likely the person is to be rated “likeable.”
