Verbal Description

COMMENTS

No Relationship

Knowing the independent variable does not reduce the number of errors in
predicting the dependent variable at all.

.00 to .15

Not generally useful

Not acceptable

.10 to .20

Weak

Minimally acceptable

.20 to .25

Moderate

Acceptable

.25 to .30

Moderately Strong

.30 to .35

Strong

.35 to .40

Very Strong

.40 to .45

Worrisomely Strong

Either an extremely good relationship or the two variables are measuring

the same concept

.45 to .99

Redundant

The two variables are probably measuring the same concept.

Perfect Relationship.

If we the know the independent variable, we can perfectly predict the

dependent variable.
