The purpose of correlating two variables together is to measure the strength and direction of the relationship between them. A correlation coefficient can range from -1 to 1, where: A correlation coefficient of 1 indicates a perfect positive correlation, meaning that the two variables move in the same direction perfectly. A correlation coefficient of -1 indicates a perfect negative correlation, meaning that the two variables move in opposite directions perfectly. A correlation coefficient of 0 indicates no correlation, meaning that there is no relationship between the two variables. One of the key-areas that I like to research are indirect relationships between variables. For example, the amount of sleep a student gets may indirectly affect their test scores. The amount of sleep a student gets can affect their mood, which can then affect their focus and concentration, which can then affect their test scores. Can you identify an Indirect Relationship between 2 variables? Why are they indirectly related?
