When a research article reports the correlations among several variables by listing them across the top and also across the side, then putting the correlations into the table, this is called a:
A)scatter diagram
B)binomial effect size display
C)correlation matrix
D)variance-covariance matrix

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This type of table is called a correlation matrix, which displays the correlations among several variables by listing them both across the top and down the side, and then putting the correlations into the table. A scatter diagram is a graph that displays the relationship between two continuous variables, while a binomial effect size display shows the magnitude and direction of an effect size for two groups. A variance-covariance matrix is a table that shows the variances and covariances among several variables. However, since the question specifically mentions reporting correlations in a table format, the best choice is C, correlation matrix.
