Cohen (1988, pp. 7981) suggests the following guidelines: small r=.10 to .29medium
r=.30 to .49large r=.50 to 1.0These guidelines apply whether or not there is a negative
sign out the front of your rvalue.
coefficient of determination. Sounds impressive, but all youneed to do is square
your r value (multiply it by itself). To convert this to percentage of variance, just
multiply by 100 (shift the decimal place two columns to the right).For example, two
variables that correlate r=.2 share only .2 .2 = .04 = 4 per cent oftheir variance.
There is not much overlap between the two variables. A correlationof r=.5, however,
means 25 per cent shared variance (.5 .5 = .25).In our example the Pearson
correlation is .581, which when squared indicates33.76 per cent shared variance.
Perceived control helps to explain nearly 34 per centof the variance in respondents
scores on the Perceived Stress Scale. This is quite arespectable amount of variance
explained when compared with a lot of the research conducted in the social
sciences.

The relationship between perceived control of internal states (as measured by the PCOISS) and
perceived stress (as measured by the Perceived Stress Scale)was investigated using Pearson
product-moment correlation coefficient. Preliminary analyses were performed to ensure no
violation of the assumptions of normality, linearity and homoscedasticity. There was a strong,
negative correlation between the two variables, r = .58, n = 426, p < .0005, with high levels of
perceived control associated with lower levels of perceived stress

The Kruskal-Wallis Test is a non-parametric alternative to a one-way betweengroups analysis of variance. It allows comparing the scores on some continuous
variable for groups. Scores are converted to ranks and the mean rank for each
group is compared.

The main pieces of information you need from this output are: Chi-Square value,
the degrees of freedom (df) and the significance level (presented as Asymp. Sig.).
If the significance level is less than .05 , it can conclude that there is a statistically
significant difference in the continuous variable across the groups. Inspection of the
Mean Rank for the groups is presented in first output table. The table shows the

groups which has highest overall ranking that corresponds to the highest score on
the continuous variable. In the output presented above, the significance level was .
01 (rounded). This is less than the alpha level of .05, so these results suggest that
there is a difference in optimism levels across the different age groups. An
inspection of the mean ranks for the groups suggests that the older group (45+)
had the highest optimism scores, with the younger group reporting the lowest.Age
on Stress
A Kruskal-Wallis Test revealed a statistically significant difference in optimism levels across three
different age groups (Gp1, n = 147: 1829yrs, Gp2, n = 153:3044yrs, Gp3, n = 135: 45+yrs), 2
(2, n = 435) = 8.57, p = .014. The older age group(45+ yrs) recorded a higher median score (Md
= 23) than the other two age groups,which both recorded median values of 22.
