, SPSS Experimental and Correlation
• Calculate the Pearson correlation, spearman correlation, point-biserial correlation, and the Phi coefficient,
and interpret the outcome
Pearson: Quantitative and Quantitative [scatter plot: Linear]
Pointbiserial: dichotomous and Quantitative
Phi: Dichotomous and Dichotomous
Spearman: Ordinal and Ordinal [scatterplot: non-linear]
To determine the significance “Sig.” has to be below 0.05 in
the table. If it is above 0.05 it is statistically insignificant
o Pearson (r) (Survival 137)
§ Between quantitative and quantitative, scatterplot has to be linear, Parametric
§ To find biserial (rpd): this s between dichotomous and quantitative, conduct spearman or
Pearson’s, find the values that are dichotomous and quantitative and look for the values
there.

o Spearman (rs) (Survival 137)
§ Between ordinal and ordinal, scatterplot has to be non-linear, Non-Parametric
§ To find biserial (rpd): this s between dichotomous and quantitative, conduct spearman or
Pearson’s, find the values that are dichotomous and quantitative and look for the values
there.
