User Manual On Correlation Analysis Using Jamovi

This document provides instructions for performing a correlation test in Jamovi to determine the relationship between variables in a dataset. The user is instructed to open a Jamovi file, select the correlation matrix analysis, choose Pearson's r as the coefficient and flag significant correlations. Variables are then dragged into the matrix to generate a report showing the correlation coefficient and significance between those variables, along with a scatter plot. A strong positive correlation is found between house square footage and price in the example.

USER MANUAL ON HOW TO PERFORM THE TEST OF CORRELATION USING

JAMOVI
- In demonstrating how to perform the test of Correlation in Jamovi, we will be
working on the HOUSES dataset. Let us try to determine if the variables in that
dataset are correlated to one another.
1. Open the Jamovi file you need to work on by clicking on Open.

2. Go to Analyses. Click on Regression and select Correlation Matrix. You will be routed to the
Correlation Matrix section of Jamovi.
3. In Correlation Matrix, pls. make sure the following details are selected (ticked):
 Pearson as the Correlation Coefficient
 Under Additional Options, tick:
o Report significance

o Flag significant correlations

o Confidence intervals (set the interval to 95%)

 Under Hypothesis, tick:


o Correlated

 Under Plot, tick:


o Correlation matrix

o Statistics
4. Under Correlation Matrix, there are 2 dialogue boxes/areas. The left-side contains all of the
research variables in your dataset. Select the 2 variables that you intend to examine for
correlation by dragging them (one variable at a time) to the right-side dialogue box/area. As an
example, let us test if square feet and the price of a house are correlated. Drag the variables
SQ_FG (square feet) and PRICE (price) to the right-side dialogue box/area.
5. On the right-side task pane of the Correlation Matrix, you will see the generated statistical
report for the test of correlation that you have performed in Jamovi. The report provides you
the following details:
 Correlation Matrix
 Scatter Plot
6. Analyzing the Correlation Matrix Report
 Refer to the Pearson’s r correlation coefficient. A correlation coefficient of 0.828
indicates that there is a STRONG POSITIVE relationship between these 2
variables.
 A Pearson’s r correlation coefficient w/ an asterisk means that the degree of
correlation between the 2 variables is significant. The more asterisk there is,
the greater the statistical significance of the correlation between the 2 variables.
 To determine the degree or strength of the relationship, refer to this guideline:

7. Analyzing the Scatter Plot


- The scatter plot diagram for the relationship between the square feet and price of a house
implies that there is a STRONG POSITIVE relationship between these 2 variables. We can trace
an approximately straight line (even if there are some dots that scatter around the straight
line). This is consistent with the Pearson’s r correlation coefficient that we have generated
which indicates a strong positive degree or strength of correlation between the 2 variables.
8. Perform the Correlation Test to the other combination of variables in your dataset. Decide
which among all of your variables would need the test of correlation.
