Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Correlation coefficients measure the strength and direction of a linear relationship between two variables.

The study may have compared more than one group of students, but this is not necessarily indicated by the correlation coefficients. The reliability of the variables is not directly related to the correlation coefficients.
