Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The strength of a correlation is indicated by the absolute value of the correlation coefficient (r). Higher absolute values indicate stronger correlations. Thus, -0.30, -0.50, and 0.30 all indicate stronger correlations than 0.25 because their absolute values (0.30, 0.50, and 0.30, respectively) are greater than 0.25.
