Spearman's rho handles curvilinearity in the relation between two variables by first converting all scores to
A)ranks.
B)deviation scores.
C)Z scores.
D)logs of the original scores.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Spearman's rho is a nonparametric correlation coefficient that measures the strength and direction of the relationship between two variables. It is based on the ranks of the scores rather than the actual scores themselves, which allows the measure to handle curvilinear relationships between the two variables. Therefore, choice A is the best choice as it converts all scores to ranks.
