    Study Notes

    Types of Variables

    • Variable X can be classified into three types: Continuous, Artificial Dichotomous, and True Dichotomous.

    Correlation Coefficients

    Continuous Variables

    • Pearson r is used to calculate the correlation between two continuous variables.

    Artificial Dichotomous Variables

    • Biserial r is used to calculate the correlation between a continuous variable and an artificial dichotomous variable.
    • Tetrachoric correlation coefficient is used to calculate the correlation between two artificial dichotomous variables.
    • Phi coefficient is used to calculate the correlation between two artificial dichotomous variables.

    True Dichotomous Variables

    • Point Biserial r is used to calculate the correlation between a continuous variable and a true dichotomous variable.
    • Phi coefficient is used to calculate the correlation between two true dichotomous variables.

    Psychological Assessment

    Correlation Coefficients

    • Pearson r is used for continuous Variable Y.
