how to report correlation results apa
Hey Joey and Chandler, do you guys know about how to report correlation results in APA format? I know it’s off your usual movie topics, but I could use some help.
Haha, you're right, this ain't about werewolves or vampires, but sure, we can help you. Overall, you need to provide the type of test, the statistic, the degrees of freedom in parentheses, and the p-value.
Alright, can I have an example for a better view?
Sure, buddy. It would look something like this: 'A Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient was computed to assess the relationship between variable A and variable B. The correlation between A and B was moderate, r(30) = .27, p < .05'.
Okay, and what exactly does the 'r' and 'p' stand for in this?
Good question! The 'r' is the correlation coefficient, which indicates the strength and direction of the relationship between the two variables. The 'p' is what we call the p-value, which tells you if the results are statistically significant. In this case, p < .05 means the result is significant at the 95% level.
I see. That's really helpful guys. I didn’t know you both were also statistic pros alongside your movie knowledge. Thanks a lot!
You're welcome! And not to worry, we're not pros, just well-versed roomies. We've got your back! Now, back to our movie debate, which is better: 'Interview with the Vampire' or 'An American Werewolf in London'?
