The partial correlation coefficient will reveal an interactive relationship between three variables when
A)the partial correlation coefficients drops to zero.
B)the partial is greater in value than the zero-order correlation coefficient.
C)the partial correlation coefficient is negative.
D)none of the above.Partial correlation will not detect interaction.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Partial correlation coefficient only measures the relationship between two variables while controlling the effect of a third variable, and it does not consider interaction effects. Therefore, none of the options (A, B, or C) are correct. Option D states that partial correlation will not detect interaction, which is the correct explanation.
