Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Statistical significance in a correlation depends on the strength and consistency of the relationship between variables across studies, not just on repeating studies with non-significant results. Repeatedly conducting surveys with non-significant correlations does not guarantee that a significant result will eventually be obtained; it may simply indicate a lack of a real relationship.
