Statement (1) suggests that there is a positive association between social support available to new mothers and maternal attachment scores. Statement (2) reports the Pearson correlation coefficient (r) and the level of significance (p). The correlation coefficient (r = 0.79) indicates a strong positive correlation between the two variables, and the level of significance (p < 0.05) indicates that the result is statistically significant. Therefore, the hypothesis has been supported, and there is a significant positive relationship between the degree of social support available to new mothers and maternal attachment scores.
