I am having difficulty understanding how to read this chart, and particularly understand the definition behind the data values on the top (measurement bar) and the data that is separated on the top portion of the negative linear association. I don't know how this proves.
Eating problems were not significantly correlated with performance or financial stress.
Well-being was not correlated to substance abuse in men.
Eating problems, substance abuse problems, performance stress, and financial stress were not correlated with a history of help seeking.
Anxiety, depression, intrapersonal stress, and interpersonal stress are correlated with help seeking.
Can somebody please explain? (In easy terms please)
