Capella University Interpreting an Intercorrelation Matrix

Intercorrelation Matrix

  • Paste the SPSS output of the intercorrelation matrix(view attached step by step instructions) for all specified variables(Gender, GPA, Total, Final).
    • First, report the lowest magnitude correlation in the intercorrelation matrix, including degrees of freedom, correlation coefficient, p value, and effect size. Interpret the effect size. Specify whether or not to reject the null hypothesis for this correlation.
    • Second, report the highest magnitude correlation in the intercorrelation matrix, including degrees of freedom, correlation coefficient, pvalue, and effect size. Interpret the effect size. Specify whether or not to reject the null hypothesis for this correlation.
    • Third, report the correlation between gpa and final, including degrees of freedom, correlation coefficient, p value, and effect size. Interpret the effect size. Analyze the correlation in terms of the null hypothesis.

Step 5: Write Section 5 of the DAA.

  • Discuss the implications of this correlation as it relates to the research question.
  • Conclude with an analysis of the strengths and limitations of correlational analysis.
