In simple linear association analysis, if there is a very strong positive correlation between the independent and dependent variables, then the correlation coefficient should be close to +1, close to -1, close to zero, or close to either -1 or +1.

A researcher performs a correlation analysis between two psychological variables and reports the results as r = 0.81. The best description of this result is: a. There is a strong positive correlation. b. There is a weak positive correlation. c. There is a weak negative correlation. d. There is a strong negative correlation. 2. A researcher collects data from 20 participants on 2 psychological variables and wants to calculate a statistic that shows the relationship between the two variables. The researcher calculates the sum of the cross products as being equal to 11.78. From the options below, what is the most accurate value for the coefficient of determination? a. 0.41 b. 0.35 c. 0.59 d. 0.65 3. A researcher performs a correlation analysis and finds that age is negatively correlated with the frequency of illegally downloading movies. What is the best description of this result? a. People who are older tend to download more movies illegally. b. People who are older tend to download fewer movies illegally. c. As a person ages (gets older), they download fewer movies illegally. d. As a person ages (gets older), they download more movies illegally. 4. A researcher collects data from 50 participants, measuring their exercise frequency (IV) and stress levels (DV). The researcher hypothesized that higher levels of exercise frequency are associated with lower stress levels. What style of graph would best show this relationship? a. A scatterplot with exercise frequency on the X-axis and stress levels on the Y-axis. b. A histogram with exercise frequency on the X-axis and stress levels on the Y-axis. c. A histogram with exercise frequency on the Y-axis and stress levels on the X-axis. d. A scatterplot with exercise frequency on the X-axis and stress levels on the Y-axis.
