طبيعة المتغير وعلاقته بتحليل الارتباط المتعدد للمتغيرات في العلوم الاجتماعية

Abstract EN

Many students researchers in social sciences and psychology are interested in studying the relationship between two or more variables, but they find it challenging to choose the appropriate correlation coefficient to process their data, so this study came to shed light on the correlation coefficients used in studying the relationship between two or more correlations in measuring psychological or behavioural phenomena in general, and highlighting the importance of the nature of the variables as a primary criterion that can be relied upon to choose the appropriate correlation coefficient for the study, and reach correct results.

one of the variables in a study may be quantitative and the other qualitative, which affects the nature of the data and therefore the correlation coefficient used to analyze the results, and also one of the variables may belong to a certain measurement scale and the other to another scale, the researcher resorts to converting raw grades, for example, to ranks to choose a specific correlation coefficient without another, so we will focus in this study on the nature of each variable and the appropriate correlation coefficient for it to do a correct analysis of the multivariate hypothesis in social sciences.
