'm doing this and I just got a correlation of -.253 between two variables. Would that be considered a strong correlation? Or a weak one?

Hi, how i interpret the P values if they are correlated more thn 0.75. Any other way involved to interpret the higher correlation, or what will happen if thy r correlated more thn 0.70 or 0.80

Where can i get PASW 18 for my mac?

@theplanetofmatt Well, you have to buy it. Time-limited student versions are a little under $100 and you can get them at an online store called studentdiscounts. (By the way, it’s back to its original name, SPSS, and its up to version 20 now). If you’re not a student but you’re fast, you can download a trial version from IBM.

@bartonpoulson Thanks for the response. I am a student in the UK. I have tried to find trials on IBM but i have been unsuccessful. I will try studentdiscounts as you suggest, as i'm happy to pay. Also, your videos have been really helpful to me, so thank you :)

note that it is about LINEAR CORRELATION that is stated in passing between 3:21--3:24.

do you always have to use correlations when using spss?

@KilloDel Not at all; I just think they're a very handy statistic. If you're looking at association, you can also do regression, t-tests, ANOVA, chi-square, whatever. However, most of these also translate to correlations, which makes them useful.

Basically, that's right. The important thing to remember is that the .05 cutoff is just a convention; a very strong one, for sure, but ultimately arbitrary. That being said, most people would consider a higher p value (e.g., p = .30, p = .17, p = .06) to signify an essentially null relationship – that is, that the true correlation could easily be 0. Hope that helps!

if the sig value is more than 0.05 izzit means that there is no significant different which also indicate that the there were no relationship between the two variable?
