Directions: Please read each section carefully, must use own work and cite using APA formatting.

 

Part I

 

For this assignment, you will calculate the Pearson product-moment correlations between at least two sets of variables in the Happiness and Engagement Dataset.

Perform one correlation between two independent variables, such as Age and Relationship with Coworkers.

Perform the second correlation on an independent variable (such as Relationship with Direct Supervisor) and the dependent variable (such as Workplace Happiness Rating).

Calculate the Pearson product-moment correlations between at least two sets of variables in your data set.

Write a 125- to 175-word summary of your interpretation of the correlation results. Remember that most people never see the actual output or data, and rely on the results statements by the researcher. Ensure that your summary is accurate. Copy and paste your Microsoft® Excel® output below the summary.

Format your summary according to APA format.

Submit your summary, including the Microsoft® Excel® output to the assignment.

Part III

 

Instructions: Please answer these 3 questions using 150 words each!

 

 

1. What does it mean when we say “Correlation does not imply causation”?

2. How can someone assess the direction of causation and the effect of other variables

3. Look at the chart below and explain these answers thoroughly, as if you are explaining them to someone who does not understand statistics.***

a) What does the negative sign tell you?

b) What does the significance level tell you?

c) How would you interpret this correlation in plain language?

* Correlation is significant at the 0.05 level 2-tailed.
