Definition
When conducting a study using correlational analysis we need to
produce a correlational hypothesis = states the expected association
between 2 co-variables (in an experiment we were considering the
difference between 2 conditions of an IV)
Example: age and beauty are co-variables so possible hypotheses
might =
- Age and beauty are positively correlated (positive correlation,
directional hypothesis)
- As people get older they are rated as more beautiful (positive
correlation, directional hypothesis)
- As people get older their beauty decreases (negative correlation
directional hypothesis)
- Age and beauty are correlated (positive or negative non-
,directional hypothesis)
- Age and beauty are not correlated (zero correlation, non
directional hypothesis, null hypothesis)

Definition
A correlation = a systematic association between 2 continuous
variables. Age and beauty co-vary = as they get older they become
more beautiful = a positive correlation because the 2 variables
increase together.
You may disagree and think as people get older they become less
attractive = you think age and beauty are systematically associated
but it's a negative correlation = as 1 variable increases the other
decreases.
You may feel there is no relationship between age and beauty = zero
correlation

Sometimes possible to work out who the participants were sing
information that has been provided from the study. E.g.
geographical location of a school, in practice, therefore
confidentiality might not be possible.
