Article review
In this week’s Discussion please complete the following: a. Find an
Article: Using the Kaplan Library, find a peer-reviewed journal article
that employs the Pearson’s correlation coefficient (r-value) as part of
the data analysis for the study. To find your article look for words
such as “relationship between,” “predictive of,” “correlation,” “Pearson
r-value,” or “associated with” in the statement of the research
hypothesis and/or title of the article. Paste a link to your article
here and write out the full and appropriate APA reference to the
article. b. Review Results: Read and review the article. Write a
paragraph describing the research question proposed in the article and
the conclusion given. Include a critique of the article research results
and whether you agree with the conclusion the authors have offered with
respect to the correlation analysis. c. Describe the Use of Correlation
(r): Next, determine how and where the Pearson r value or “correlation”
was employed in the analysis. What variables were examined and compared
using correlation? What was the reported value of the correlation (r)
for those variables, and what does the correlation describe about the
relationship between the two variables?
Pulling it all together: Describe a time in your life that you used correlation to make a decision. What was the result? Did you wrongly feel that correlation was the same as causation? Help and Explanations Finding a peer-reviewed journal article on a specific topic can be time consuming and is part of learning about the research process. You will likely have to search through and read through several journal articles until you locate an appropriate article that uses correlation in its analysis. e.
