| A descriptive correlational study on a convenience sample of 49 RNs examines the relationship between personal values and work satisfaction. |
|
| But as he has noted, correlational studies say little about cause and effect. |
|
| We performed correlational analyses to assess associations between independent and dependent variables for males and females separately. |
|
| However, it should be noted that these data are correlational, thus causality cannot be assumed. |
|
| To examine and simplify interpretation of correlational matrices, investigators commonly use factor analytic procedures. |
|
| Because of the correlational design, however, the cause and effect of this relationship is unknown. |
|
| Since this was a correlational study, no causations can be assumed regarding self-esteem. |
|
| But if two variables are shown through correlational research to be unrelated, then they cannot be causally linked. |
|
| Statistical analyses covered include factorial analysis of variance, multiple regression and correlational techniques. |
|
| The most direct conclusions can be drawn from correlational and causal research. |
|
| In fact, descriptive research is very valuable in identifying potential areas for further correlational or causal investigation. |
|
| With Sedgwick's Cambrian based mainly on lithologic criteria, the presence of Silurian fauna created correlational difficulties. |
|
| Many of the same types of data used in descriptive research are found in correlational studies. |
|
| Inferential statistics, on the other hand, indicate correlational and causal research and conclusions. |
|
| When inferential statistics are presented, then the study is either correlational or causal. |
|
| Psychologists employ empirical methods to infer causal and correlational relationships between psychosocial variables. |
|
| Other questions delve deeper by inquiring why the panel included correlational studies. |
|
| Typically, descriptive statistics are used as an introductory or foundational platform for the subsequent use of correlational or causal statistical procedures. |
|
| This limitation stems from the inability of correlational studies, however sophisticated they might be, to control for all confounding variables or to predict all possible mediating or moderating variables. |
|
| However, because this study collected only correlational data at one point in time, it cannot establish whether Facebook addiction is a symptom of social anxiety, or whether it's a unique disorder in its own right. |
|
|
|
| While sound description of educational conditions may be contained in the descriptive research being reviewed, neither the research document nor the reviewer is justified in making any correlational or causal conclusions. |
|
| Additionally, correlational research can investigate potential relationships between many variables, typically with no particular risk to the students involved. |
|
| Statistically, these effects can be significant due to the use of a large population to draw inference, but still relatively unimportant, by having only a weak correlational value, that is, a low effect size. |
|
| Classifying research reports into the general categories of descriptive, correlational, and causal is one of the most effective initial procedures for evaluating research. |
|
| As the reviewer evaluates correlational and regression research, the reported coefficients need to be reviewed and assessed in terms of usefulness and meaning. |
|
| For statistics such as correlations, refer to guides on what are considered to be low, medium or high values of descriptive correlational statistics. |
|
| Table 5.4 presents examples of common correlational and causal language. |
|
| Indeed, correlational and regression analyses indicated that employers who have implemented a greater number of the FCP employment equity steps evidenced generally higher levels of representation for the designated groups. |
|
| What can be confusing when first learning to determine the research type is that often correlational and causal research will also report and utilize descriptive statistics. |
|
| A key result of the correlational analysis was the weak to moderate significant positive correlation between students' Overall Admission Averages and the number of PASS sessions attended. |
|
| Based on his experience, an analysis of the financial data for correlational analysis or other types of statistical analysis would require multiple years of data. |
|
| It is quite possible, perhaps even likely, that Robinson and Harris have confused the direction of causation in their correlational analyses. |
|
| However, as in all fMRI studies, the findings were correlational. |
|
| To-date, correlational data seems to support the first hypothesis, but existing data does not allow to clearly establish the direction of effects. |
|
| Correlational data for the entire sample indicated some significant associations between sick leave usage and predictive variables. |
|
| Correlational analyses, as performed in this study, also preclude any statement regarding the directionality of the relationships found, nor can any causality be inferred. |
