Correlational Analysis of Love Attitudes, Behaviors, and Age

Introduction

This study examines the bivariate correlations between three important variables: luvavg (average rating of love attitude), behavg (average rating of conduct), and age (rounded to the next year). The data, obtained from a survey administered to 29 students in the class, seeks to reveal correlations between attitudes towards love, shown behaviors, and the potential impact of age. By utilizing SPSS for analysis, we investigate the correlation between persons who prioritize loving attitudes and their display of positive behaviors. Additionally, we examine the extent to which age influences these patterns. The findings provide valuable insights into the complex relationship between love beliefs, behaviours, and age among the subjects of the study.

Findings and Interpretation

Correlation between the average rating of behaviour andan  average rating of love attitude.

The bivariate correlational analysis revealed a strong and statistically significant positive correlation (r = 0.863, p < 0.01) between Behavg, the average rating of conduct, and Luvag, the average rating of love attitude. This suggests that persons who express more positive behaviors also tend to prioritize loving attitudes to a larger extent. The association coefficient of 0.863 indicates a strong positive linear relationship involving these two variables. The extremely small p-value of 0.000 provides additional evidence for the statistical significance of this association, indicating that the observed correlation is highly improbable to have happened by random chance.

Correlation between average rating of love attitude and age.

The correlation analysis between Luvag (average rating of love attitude) and Age showed a negligible and statistically insignificant inverse connection (r = -0.099, p = 0.609). The analysis of the dataset indicates that there is no substantial link between individuals’ self-reported perspectives on love and their age. The Pearson correlation coefficient of -0.099 shows a weak linear relationship, and the p-value above 0.05 suggests that any observed link is likely attributable to random variation. Based on empirical evidence, the age of participants did not appear to have a significant impact on their reported attitudes about love in this study.

Correlation between average rating of behavior and age.

The correlational analysis investigating the connection between Age and Behavg (average assessment of behavior) indicated a slight and statistically insignificant negative correlation (r = -0.247, p = 0.196). Consequently, there is no substantial or statistically relevant correlation between the age of the participants and their reported behaviors in this sample. The correlation coefficient reveals a small inclination for older persons to have slightly more positive behaviors. Nevertheless, the lack of statistical significance implies that this connection may be fortuitous.

Conclusion

The results demonstrate a strong and statistically significant positive correlation amongst recorded love attitudes (Luvag) and positive actions (Behavg) (r = 0.863, p < 0.01). However, there were no significant associations found between loving attitudes and age (r = -0.099, p = 0.609), or between age and observed behaviors (r = -0.247, p = 0.196). These findings indicate that persons who prioritize loving attitudes generally display positive actions, and age does not have a major impact on these patterns within the group under study.
