If the Pearson correlation yields statistically significant results, indicating a significant relationship between two variables, researchers would want to further investigate the relationship, and the analysis of the regression equation would be an appropriate choice. The regression equation provides useful information about the strength, direction, and significance of the relationship and can be used to predict future observations.
