Table 3 showed the Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient (Pearson’s

correlation, for short) is a measure of the strength and direction of association that exists

between two variables measured on at least an interval scale. This was used to test the

significant effect between the demographic profile of the respondents and the effects of

being a working student among selected senior high school students in Colegio de la

Purisima Concepcion. Based from the result, it was found out that the significant values

or p-values of Age, Grade level and Number of hours worked (0.291, 0.427, 0.811,

respectively) are all greater than the level of significance (0.05). So, we accept the null

hypothesis. Thus, there is enough evidence to say that there is no significant effect

between the demographic profile of the respondents and the effects of being a working

student among selected senior high school students in Colegio de la Purisima

Concepcion.
