    The document provides guidelines for interpreting the strength of correlation between two variables based on the size of the correlation coefficient. It lists correlation coefficients from 0 to 1 or -1, with values between 0.9-1 and -0.9--1 indicating very high correlation, 0.7-0.9 and -0.7--0.9 as high correlation, 0.5-0.7 and -0.5--0.7 as moderate correlation, and 0.3-0.5 and -0.3--0.5 as low correlation. Values between 0 and 0.3 or 0 and -0.3 indicate little if any correlation.

    Rule of Thumb for Interpreting the Size of a Correlation Coefficient

    Size of Correlation Interpretation


    .90 to 1.00 (-.90 to –1.00) Very high positive (negative) correlation
    .70 to .90 (-.70 to -.90) High positive (negative) correlation
    .50 to .70 (-.50 to -.70) Moderate positive (negative) correlation
    .30 to .50 (-.30 to -.50) Low positive (negative) correlation
    .00 to .30 (.00 to -.30) Little if any correlation
